GB/T 1040.1-2006 Plastics—Determination of tensile properties—Part 1:General principles
Basic Information
Scope
1.1 This part of GB/T 1040 specifies the general principles for determining the tensile properties of plastics and composite materials under specified conditions, and stipulates several different shapes of specimens for use with different types of materials, which are described in detail in other parts of this standard. 1.2 This method is used to study the tensile properties of specimens and to determine the tensile strength, tensile modulus, and other aspects of the tensile stress/strain relationship under specified conditions. 1.3 This method is applicable to the following materials: — Thermoplastic molded and extruded materials with hard and semi-hard properties, including filled and reinforced compounds, hard and semi-hard thermoplastic sheets and films, except for unfilled types; — Thermoset molded materials with hard and semi-hard properties, including filled and reinforced composites, hard and semi-hard thermoset boards, including laminates; — Fiber-reinforced thermoset and thermoplastic composites incorporating unidirectional or non-oriented reinforcing materials, such as felts, fabrics, untwisted rovings, chopped fibers, mixed fiber-reinforced materials, untwisted rovings, and crushed fibers; sheets made from prepreg materials (prepreg blanks); — Thermotropic liquid crystal polymers. This method is generally not applicable to rigid foams or sandwich structure materials containing microporous materials. 1.4 The specimens used in this method can be molded according to the selected dimensions, or can be manufactured from finished or semi-finished products such as molded parts, laminates, films, extruded or cast sheets, etc., by machining methods such as cutting and punching. In some cases, multi-purpose specimens can be used (see ISO 3167:1993 "Plastics - Preparation and Use of Multi-Purpose Specimens"). 1.5 This method specifies the preferred dimensions of the specimens. The results of tests conducted with specimens prepared using different dimensions or unde
