This standard is issued under the fixed designation D638; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.

Jul 21, 2022 · 1.1 This test method covers the determination of the tensile properties of unreinforced and reinforced plastics in the form of standard dumbbell-shaped test specimens when tested under defined conditions of pretreatment, temperature, humidity, …

The most common ASTM standard for tensile tests on plastics is ASTM D638. This standard is used to determine tensile properties of plastic materials for control, specification, qualitative characterization and research and development purposes.

ASTM D638 is the most common testing standard for determining the tensile properties of reinforced and non-reinforced plastics. With the use of plastics being at an all-time high, it is critical that manufacturers be able to properly gauge the mechanical strength of their materials.

This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 638; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.

Identify the components of the testing machine and parameters for the extension indicator based upon the measurement to be taken. Recognize specimen types, preparation requirements, and number of specimens to be used in testing. Describe how speed of testing is determined.

ASTM D638 (Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Plastics) specifies methods for testing the tensile strength of plastics and other resin materials and for calculating their mechanical properties, and outlines accuracy requirements for …

ASTM D638 is the definitive standard for determining the tensile properties of unreinforced and reinforced plastics. It provides essential data for material selection, quality control, and engineering design.
