ISO 9854-1:2023 — Charpy impact properties for thermoplastic fluid-transport pipes (Part 1)

ISO 9854.1 · ISO standard

ISO 9854-1 is the general Charpy pendulum impact method for test pieces cut from thermoplastics pipes used to transport fluids. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ISO 9854.1 Covers

It sets out the general Charpy impact method for specimens taken from thermoplastic pipe, with an unnotched option (Method A) and a notched option (Method B), the choice directed by the applicable pipe product standard.

How the Test Is Run

A specimen cut from the pipe wall is supported as a beam and struck by a swinging pendulum, and the energy absorbed in breaking it gives the Charpy impact strength; Method B uses a notched specimen.

Why It Matters

Charpy impact data characterizes the toughness of thermoplastic pipe material for specification and quality control; a calibrated pendulum, correct specimen preparation from the pipe, and controlled conditioning are essential.
