ISO 6259-3 — Tensile properties of polyolefin thermoplastics pipes

ISO 6259-3 · ISO standard

ISO 6259-3 specifies the tensile-testing method for polyolefin thermoplastics pipe materials such as PE and PP. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ISO 6259-3 Covers

It applies the general ISO 6259-1 approach to polyolefin pipe, fixing specimen and test conditions for these ductile pipe materials.

How the Test Is Run

A specimen from the polyolefin pipe wall is pulled at a defined speed, and tensile strength and elongation, often large for polyolefins, are determined.

Why It Matters

Polyolefin pipe is qualified against ISO 6259-3; grips and travel suited to high elongation are needed.
