BS 2782-3:Method 370:1996 is a British Standard that specifies a method for the determination of the tensile properties of plastics using a tensile test machine. It is part of the BS 2782-3 series, which covers various test methods for plastics.
Method 370 specifically focuses on the tensile testing of plastics and provides guidelines for performing the test. The standard outlines the apparatus and test conditions required, including sample preparation, test specimen dimensions, and the testing procedure itself.
Tensile testing is a common method used to measure the mechanical properties of materials, such as the strength, elasticity, and elongation characteristics. It involves subjecting a test specimen to a gradually increasing tensile force until it breaks. The resulting data can be used to evaluate the material's performance and suitability for specific applications.
Please note that the information provided is based on the knowledge available up to September 2021, and there may have been updates or revisions to the standard since then. It's always advisable to consult the latest version of the standard for accurate and up-to-date information.
