ISO 527 type 1A

In order to perform tests such as tensile, impact and bending tests, a sample of the polymer has to be prepared in the dimensions required for these tests. This is done by injection molding and the shape (often referred to as dumbbell or dogbone) and dimensions of the sample are described as ISO 3167 type A (also known as ISO 527 type 1A).
Please contact us for more information.
Make sure to include information on the chemical nature (e.g. PP, PE, PET, PA,... preferably with a safety datasheet) of your polymer with your order.

In a tensile test, the force and associated sample elongation are measured until the sample breaks. From this data the following parameters can be determined: tensile stress (at yield & at break), strain, elongation (at yield & at break), modulus.
The test method is described in ISO 527.
The dimensions of the provided samples should be according to the specimen dimensions specified in the standard.
Test specimen can also be prepared at an extra cost, contact us for more information.
