Specifies a method for determining the Izod impact strength of plastics under defined conditions. Defines a number of different types of specimen and test configurations. Used to investigate the behaviour of specified types of specimen under the impact conditions defined and for estimating the brittleness or toughness of specimens within the limitations inherent in the test conditions. Not normally suitable for use with rigid cellular materials and sandwich structures containing cellular material. Coverage includes definitions, apparatus, procedure and precision. Also includes detailed tables and diagrams. AMD 8641 RENUMBERS THIS STANDARD
