ASTM D 882 : 2018

1.1This test method covers the determination of tensile properties of plastics in the form of thin sheeting and films (less than 1.0 mm (0.04 in.) in thickness).

1.2This test method can be used to test all plastics within the thickness range described and the capacity of the machine employed.

1.3Specimen extension can be measured by grip separation, extension indicators, or displacement of gage marks.

1.4The procedure for determining the tensile modulus of elasticity is included at one strain rate.

1.5Test data obtained by this test method is relevant and appropriate for use in engineering design.

1.6The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are provided for information only.

1.7This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.8This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
