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.
