    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    CONTAINED IN VOL. 08.01, 2015 Describes the determination of that temperature at which plastic sheeting 1.00 mm (0.040 in.) or less in thickness exhibits a brittle failure under specified impact conditions.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    1.1This test method covers the determination of that temperature at which plastic sheeting 1.00 mm (0.040 in.) or less in thickness exhibits a brittle failure under specified impact conditions.

    1.2The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

    Note 1:This test method was developed jointly with the Society of the Plastics Industry, primarily for use with plasticized vinyl sheetings. Its applicability to other plastic sheetings must be verified by the user.

    1.3This standard does not purport to address the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

    Note 2:This test method and ISO 8570 address the same subject matter, but differ in technical content.
