1.1 This part of ISO 527 specifes the general principles for determining the tensile properties of plastics and plastic composites under defned conditions. Several different types of test specimen are defned to suit different types of material which are detailed in subsequent parts of ISO 527.
1.2 The methods are used to investigate the tensile behaviour of the test specimens and for determining the tensile strength, tensile modulus and other aspects of the tensile stress/strain relationship under the conditions defned.
