ISO 527-3 Tensile Properties of Films and Sheets

ISO 527-3  is used to determine the tensile properties of plastic film or sheeting.

Plastic films and sheeting are a popular choice for packaging manufacturers and can be found protecting many everyday items from leftover food to consumer goods.

The tensile properties include tensile strength, yield strength, yield strain, strain at break, and in some cases Young’s Modulus.

*** The equivalent ASTM standard to ISO 527-3 is ASTM D882.

ISO 527-3 testing is often performed on a single column universal testing machine. However, due to the fact that many thin film specimens exhibit high elongation at break,

an extra height single column frame or possibly a dual column frame may be required in order to test until break

*** Before conducting this ISO standard  ,  it is important to read the entire specification. Standards can be obtained from appropriate standard authorities.
