Full Description

Purpose.

This standard specifies a method for determining the tensile creep rupture life for thermoplastics in the form of standard test specimens under specified conditions such as those of pretreatment, temperature, and humidity. The method is suitable for use with rigid and semi-rigid non-reinforced, filled and fiber-reinforced plastics materials in the form of dumb-bell-shaped test specimens molded directly or machined from sheets or molded plaques. The method is intended to provide data for engineering-design and research and development purposes.
