ISO 6259-1 Tensile Properties of Thermoplastics Pipes (General Test Method)

← Back to all standards

ISO 6259-1 describes the general tensile test method for determining key tensile properties of thermoplastics pipes. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ISO 6259-1 Covers

It sets the general approach for pulling ring or dumbbell specimens cut from thermoplastics pipe to obtain tensile strength and elongation, with material-specific parts for PVC and polyolefins.

How the Test Is Run

A specimen prepared from the pipe wall is pulled at a controlled speed, and tensile strength and elongation at break are determined.

Why It Matters

Pipe tensile properties support quality control and qualification of thermoplastics pipe; correct specimen preparation from the pipe wall is essential.
