The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 527-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 2, Mechanical properties. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 527-2:1993), which has been technically revised. ISO 527 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics — Determination of tensile properties: — Part 1: General principles — Part 2 :Test conditions for moulding and extrusion plastics — Part 3: Test conditions for films and sheets — Part 4: Test conditions for isotropic and orthotropic fibre-reinforced plastic composites — Part 5: Test conditions for unidirectional fibre-reinforced plastic composites iv © ISO 2012 – All rights reservedCopyright International Organization for Standardization Provided by IHS under license with ISO Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS - - ` , , ` ` ` , , , , ` ` ` ` - ` - ` , , ` , , ` , ` , , ` - - - INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 527-2:2012(E) Plastics — Determination of tensile properties — Part 2: Test conditions for moulding and extrusion plastics 1 Scope 1.1 This part of ISO 527 specifies the test conditions for determining the tensile properties of moulding and extrusion plastics, based upon the general principles given in ISO 527-1. 1.2 The methods are selectively suitable for use with the following range of materials: — rigid and semi-rigid thermoplastics moulding, extrusion and cast materials, including compounds filled and reinforced by, for example, short fibres, small rods, plates or granules but excluding textile fibres (see ISO 527-4 and ISO 527-5). See ISO 527-1:2012, Clause 3 for the definition of “rigid” and “semi-rigid”. — rigid and semi-rigid thermosetting moulding and cast materials, including filled and reinforced compounds but excluding textile fibres as reinforcement (see ISO 527-4 and ISO 527-5); — thermotropic liquid crystal polymers. The methods are not normally suitable for use with rigid cellular materials or sandwich structures containing cellular material. For rigid cellular materials see ISO 1926. The methods are not suitable for flexible films and sheets, of thickness smaller than 1 mm, see ISO 527-3. 1.3 The methods are applied using specimens which may be either moulded to the chosen dimensions or machined, cut or punched from injection- or compression-moulded plates. The multipurpose test specimen is preferred (see ISO 20753). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

A gauge length of 50 mm is also acceptable for quality-control purposes or where specified. If strains are recorded only on one side of the test specimen, ensure that low strains are not falsified by bending, which may result from even faint misalignment and initial warpage of the test specimen and which generates strain differences between opposite surfaces of the test specimen. NOTE Increasing the gauge length leads to higher accuracy, especially for the modulus determination. The absolute accuracy of the measurement of elongation required for a ±1 % accuracy of modulus determination is ±1,5 µm. This is less severe than the ±1 µm needed if a gauge length of 50 mm is used. Furthermore, necking outside of the gauge length will be less frequent. 5.3 Recording of data See ISO 527-1:2012, 5.1.6. NOTE For the determination of the tensile modulus under the conditions v = 1mm/min, L0 = 75mm, L = 115 mm and r = 0,000 5 mm, the recording frequency for the strain signal greater than or equal to 22 s-1 would be appropriate according to ISO 527-1:2012, Equation 1. This frequency increases as the gauge length increases. With larger gauge length the absolute elongation measured by the extensometer is larger for the same crosshead displacement, i.e the recording instrument will see more data points in the same time span. 6 Test specimens 6.1 Shape and dimensions Wherever possible, the test specimens shall be dumb-bell-shaped types 1A and 1B, as shown in Figure 1 and Table 1. Type 1A shall be used for directly injection-moulded multipurpose test specimens, type 1B for machined specimens. Type 1A may also be used for compression-moulded specimens. For the use of proportionally scaled miniaturized specimens, see Annex A and/or ISO 20753. NOTE 1 At 4 mm thickness, specimen types 1A and 1B are identical to the multipurpose test specimens according to ISO 3167, types A and B, respectively, and to types A1 and A2 of ISO 20753. For purposes where large numbers of test specimens are to be exposed in limited space, for example, during analysis of environmental influences due to radiation, heat and/or chemicals (see ISO 11403-3), small test specimens of type C of ISO 20753 can be used. In such cases, frequently only the relative change of strength is of interest, and specimens of type CW are particularly useful. To accommodate wall thicknesses of the final application, thicknesses different from those preferred in ISO 20753 may be used.

The moulding conditions shall be in accordance with the relevant International Standard for the material or, if none exists, agreed between the interested parties. Strict control of all conditions of the specimen preparation is essential to ensure that all test specimens in a set are actually in the same state. All surfaces of the test specimen shall be free from visible flaws, scratches or other imperfections. From moulded specimens, all flash, if present, shall be removed, taking care not to damage the moulded surface. Test specimens from finished goods shall be taken from flat areas or zones having minimum curvature. For reinforced plastics, test specimens should not be machined to reduce their thickness unless absolutely necessary. Test specimens with machined surfaces will not give results comparable to specimens having non- machined surfaces. 6.3 Gauge marks See ISO 527-1:2012, 6.3. 6.4 Checking the test specimens See ISO 527-1:2012, 6.4. 6.5 Anisotropy Injection moulded and extruded plates, as well as finished goods, exhibit some degree of anisotropy as a result of flow-induced orientation. The direction dependence of the tensile properties can be assessed by machining specimens parallel and normal to the flow direction characterizing the moulding process. In the absence of information on such directions, specimens shall be machined in directions as agreed between the interested parties. 6.6 Number of test specimens See ISO 527-1:2012, Clause 7. 7 Conditioning See ISO 527-1:2012, Clause 8. 8 Procedure See ISO 527-1:2012, Clause 9. For measurement of the tensile modulus (see ISO 527-1:2012, 3.9), the speed of testing shall be 1 mm/min for specimen types 1A and 1B (see Figure 1). This corresponds to a strain rate of approximately 1 % min-1. For small specimens see Annex A. 9 Calculation and expression of results See ISO 527-1:2012, Clause 10. © ISO 2012 – All rights reserved 3Copyright International Organization for Standardization Provided by IHS under license with ISO Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS - - ` , , ` ` ` , , , , ` ` ` ` - ` - ` , , ` , , ` , ` , , ` - - - ISO 527-2:2012(E) 10 Precision See Annex B (informative). 11 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) a reference to this part of ISO 527, including the type of specimen and the testing speed according to: For items b) to q) in the test report, see ISO 527-1:2012, 12 b) to q).

The nominal strain rate is the ratio of the speed of testing (see ISO 527-1:2012, 3.5) versus the initial distance between the grips. Where modulus determinations are required, the test speed is recommended to correspond to a strain rate of 1 % min-1. It may be technically difficult to measure modulus on small specimens because of small gauge lengths and short testing times. Results obtained from small specimens are not comparable with those obtained from type 1 specimens.
