ISO 8256 is the test method for the tensile-impact strength of plastics using high strain-rate tensile loading applied by a pendulum. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ISO 8256 Covers
It applies a rapid tensile load to a plastic specimen and measures the energy absorbed, suited to films and thin or brittle materials where notched-beam impact is impractical.
Why It Matters
Tensile-impact gives a high strain-rate toughness ranking for materials that cannot be tested well by Izod or Charpy.
Reading the Designation
Cited as ISO 8256 with its edition year. Confirm the edition and the specimen or notch requirements before finalizing fixtures and reporting. To configure an impact setup, request a quote.
