ASTM D638, ISO 527 Poisson’s Ratio
ASTM D638 helps to determine plastic material tensile properties. A Universal Testing Machine measures the force required to break a specimen and the extent to which the specimen stretches or elongates to that breaking point. Poisson's Ratio is useful data for plastics engineering design purposes.
Scope of ASTM D638 Test Method:
ASTM D638 and ISO 527 are technically equivalent test methods. Poisson’s Ratio is a measure of transverse strain against axial strain when uniaxial stress is applied. The uniaxial force is used to deform the sample in both axial and lateral directions. A high tensile modulus means that the test material is rigid and more amount of stress is required to produce a given strain. The tensile properties of plastic materials are determined by ASTM D638 test process, which can be used to test components up to 14 mm thick (0.55 inches).
Test Procedure of ASTM D638 Test Method:
For the ASTM D638 test, a universal tester is used. The sample is clamped into the grips of the tester. Next, the sample is attached with two strain measuring instruments, one axially and the other laterally.Finally,a uniaxial force is applied at a fixed speed.
Sample size:
Usually, a standard tensile bar is used in ASTM D638 test method.
Data:
In ASTM D638 test method, a stress-strain graph is produced and Poisson’s ratio is calculated.
Conclusion
ASTM D638 test method requires a universal testing machine (tensile testing machine). The most common sized universal or tensile testing machine for moulded plastics is 5 or 10 kN (1,125 or 2,250 lbf). As reinforced polymers and composites get stronger, a greater capacity 50 kN (11,250 lbf) unit may be required.
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
