Polyethylene (PE) materials for piping systems. Determination of resistance to slow crack growth under cyclic loading. Cracked Round Bar test method
管道系统用聚乙烯(PE)材料 循环荷载下抗缓慢裂纹扩展的测定 裂纹圆棒试验方法
BS ISO 18489:2015 specifies a method to determine the resistance to slow crack growth (SCG)
of polyethylene materials, pipes, and fittings. The test is applicable to samples taken from compression
moulded sheet or extruded pipes and injection moulded fittings of suitable thickness.This International Standard provides a method that is suitable for an accelerated fracture-mechanics
characterization at ambient temperatures of 23 °C of different polyethylene grades, especially for PE 80
and PE 100 types for pipe applications.NOTE This test method could be adapted for other thermoplastics materials by developing the procedure
using different test parameters.Cross References:ISO 291ISO 2818ISO 3126All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
