Polyethylene (PE) materials for piping systems. Determination of Strain Hardening Modulus in relation to slow crack growth. Test method
管道系统用聚乙烯(PE)材料 测定与缓慢裂纹扩展相关的应变硬化模量 试验方法
BS ISO 18488:2015 specifies a method for the determination of the strain hardening modulus
which is used as a measure for the resistance to slow crack growth of polyethylene.The strain hardening modulus is obtained from stress-strain curves on compression moulded samples.
This International Standard describes how such measurement is performed and how the strain
hardening modulus shall be determined from such a curve. Details of the required equipment, precision,
and sample preparation for the generation of meaningful data are given.This International Standard provides a method that is valid for all types of polyethylene, independent
from the manufacturing technology, comonomer, catalyst type, that are used for pipes and fittings
applications.NOTE This method could be developed for materials for other applications.Cross References:ISO 527-1ISO 7500-1ISO 9513ISO 37ISO 16241All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
