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.
