ISO 527-2:2012(E)
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an

International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 527‑2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 2, Mechanical properties.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 527‑2:1993), which has been technically revised.
ISO 527 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics — Determination of tensile properties:
— Part 1: General principles
— Part 2 :Test conditions for moulding and extrusion plastics
— Part 3: Test conditions for films and sheets
— Part 4: Test conditions for isotropic and orthotropic fibre-reinforced plastic composites
— Part 5: Test conditions for unidirectional fibre-reinforced plastic composites

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 527-2:2012(E)
Plastics — Determination of tensile properties —
Part 2:
Test conditions for moulding and extrusion plastics
1 Scope
1.1 This part of ISO 527 specifies the test conditions for determining the tensile properties of moulding and

extrusion plastics, based upon the general principles given in ISO 527‑1.
1.2 The methods are selectively suitable for use with the following range of materials:
— rigid and semi-rigid thermoplastics moulding, extrusion and cast materials, including compounds filled
and reinforced by, for example, short fibres, small rods, plates or granules but excluding textile fibres (see
ISO 527-4 and ISO 527-5). See ISO 527-1:2012, Clause 3 for the definition of “rigid” and “semi-rigid”.
— rigid and semi-rigid thermosetting moulding and cast materials, including filled and reinforced compounds
but excluding textile fibres as reinforcement (see ISO 527-4 and ISO 527‑5);
— thermotropic liquid crystal polymers.
The methods are not normally suitable for use with rigid cellular materials or sandwich structures containing
cellular material. For rigid cellular materials see ISO 1926.
The methods are not suitable for flexible films and sheets, of thickness smaller than 1 mm, see ISO 527-3.
1.3 The methods are applied using specimens which may be either moulded to the chosen dimensions or
machined, cut or punched from injection‑ or compression‑moulded plates. The multipurpose test specimen is
preferred (see ISO 20753).

ISO 527-2:2012(E)
3 Terms and definitions
See ISO 527-1: 2012, Clause 3.
4 Principle and methods

See ISO 527-1:2012, Clause 4.
5 Apparatus
5.1 General

See ISO 527-1:2012, Clause 5, specifically 5.1.1 to 5.1.4.
5.2 Extensometer
For this part of ISO 527, a gauge length of 75 mm is preferred when a multipurpose test specimen is used.
A gauge length of 50 mm is also acceptable for quality-control purposes or where specified.
If strains are recorded only on one side of the test specimen, ensure that low strains are not falsified by
bending, which may result from even faint misalignment and initial warpage of the test specimen and which
generates strain differences between opposite surfaces of the test specimen.
NOTE Increasing the gauge length leads to higher accuracy, especially for the modulus determination. The absolute
accuracy of the measurement of elongation required for a ±1 % accuracy of modulus determination is ±1,5 µm. This is less
severe than the ±1 µm needed if a gauge length of 50 mm is used. Furthermore, necking outside of the gauge length will
be less frequent.
5.3 Recording of data

See ISO 527-1:2012, 5.1.6.
NOTE For the determination of the tensile modulus under the conditions v = 1mm/min, L0 = 75mm, L = 115 mm and
r = 0,000 5 mm, the recording frequency for the strain signal greater than or equal to 22 s-1 would be appropriate according
to ISO 527-1:2012, Equation 1. This frequency increases as the gauge length increases. With larger gauge length the
absolute elongation measured by the extensometer is larger for the same crosshead displacement, i.e the recording
instrument will see more data points in the same time span.
6 Test specimens
6.1 Shape and dimensions

Wherever possible, the test specimens shall be dumb-bell-shaped types 1A and 1B, as shown in Figure 1 and
Table 1. Type 1A shall be used for directly injection-moulded multipurpose test specimens, type 1B for machined
specimens. Type 1A may also be used for compression-moulded specimens. For the use of proportionally
scaled miniaturized specimens, see Annex A and/or ISO 20753.
NOTE 1 At 4 mm thickness, specimen types 1A and 1B are identical to the multipurpose test specimens according to
ISO 3167, types A and B, respectively, and to types A1 and A2 of ISO 20753.
For purposes where large numbers of test specimens are to be exposed in limited space, for example, during
analysis of environmental influences due to radiation, heat and/or chemicals (see ISO 11403-3), small test
specimens of type C of ISO 20753 can be used. In such cases, frequently only the relative change of strength
is of interest, and specimens of type CW are particularly useful. To accommodate wall thicknesses of the final
application, thicknesses different from those preferred in ISO 20753 may be used.
NOTE 2 Other miniaturized specimens with different scale factors are defined in ISO 20753

ISO 527-2:2012(E)
6.2 Preparation of test specimens
Test specimens shall be either directly injection- or compression-moulded from the material in accordance
with ISO 293, ISO 294-1, ISO 295 or ISO 10724-1, as appropriate, or machined in accordance with ISO 2818
from plates that have been compression- or injection-moulded from the compound, or obtained from cast
or extruded plates (sheet). The moulding conditions shall be in accordance with the relevant International
Standard for the material or, if none exists, agreed between the interested parties.
Strict control of all conditions of the specimen preparation is essential to ensure that all test specimens in a set
are actually in the same state.
All surfaces of the test specimen shall be free from visible flaws, scratches or other imperfections. From
moulded specimens, all flash, if present, shall be removed, taking care not to damage the moulded surface.

Test specimens from finished goods shall be taken from flat areas or zones having minimum curvature.
For reinforced plastics, test specimens should not be machined to reduce their thickness unless absolutely
necessary. Test specimens with machined surfaces will not give results comparable to specimens having non-
machined surfaces.
6.3 Gauge marks

See ISO 527-1:2012, 6.3.
6.4 Checking the test specimens

See ISO 527-1:2012, 6.4.
6.5 Anisotropy
Injection moulded and extruded plates, as well as finished goods, exhibit some degree of anisotropy as a result
of flow-induced orientation. The direction dependence of the tensile properties can be assessed by machining
specimens parallel and normal to the flow direction characterizing the moulding process. In the absence of
information on such directions, specimens shall be machined in directions as agreed between the interested parties.
6.6 Number of test specimens

7 Conditioning
8 Procedure
For measurement of the tensile modulus (see ISO 527-1:2012, 3.9), the speed of testing shall be 1 mm/min for
specimen types 1A and 1B (see Figure 1). This corresponds to a strain rate of approximately 1 % min-1. For
small specimens see Annex A.
9 Calculation and expression of results


ISO 527-2:2012(E)
10 Precision

11 Test report
The test report shall include the following information:
a) a reference to this part of ISO 527, including the type of specimen and the testing speed according to:

For items b) to q) in the test report, see ISO 527-1:2012, 12 b) to q).

a The recommended overall length of 170 mm of the type 1A is consistent with ISO 294-1 and ISO 10724-1. For some materials, the
length of the tabs may need to be extended (e.g. l3 = 200 mm) to prevent breakage or slippage in the jaws of the testing machine.
b l2 = l1 + [4r(b2 – b1) – (b2-b1)2]1/2, resulting from l1, r, b1 and b2, but within the indicated tolerances.

ISO 527-2:2012(E)
Annex A
(informative)
Small specimens
If, for any reason, it is not possible to use a standard type 1 test specimen, specimens of the types 1BA, 1BB
(see Figure A.1 and Table A.1), 5A or 5B (see Figure A.2 and Table A.2) or those specified in ISO 20753 may be
used, provided that the speed of testing is adjusted to the value given in 5.1.2, Table 1 of ISO 527-1:2012, which
gives the nominal strain rate for the small test specimen closest to that used for the standard-sized specimen.
The nominal strain rate is the ratio of the speed of testing (see ISO 527-1:2012, 3.5) versus the initial distance

between the grips. Where modulus determinations are required, the test speed is recommended to correspond
to a strain rate of 1 % min-1. It may be technically difficult to measure modulus on small specimens because of
small gauge lengths and short testing times. Results obtained from small specimens are not comparable with
those obtained from type 1 specimens.

Annex B
(informative)
Precision statement
B.1 Definitions and information
B.1.1 Tables B.1 to B.4 are based on a round-robin test involving three to seven laboratories and four to seven
materials. The results given in the tables constitute a subgroup of a round-robin test performed by a group of

seven German, Austrian and Swiss laboratories, using a total of 25 materials. Test specimens were always
prepared and distributed by one source. Each laboratory obtained and reported five (5) individual test results for
each material. The results reported have been evaluated according to ISO 5725‑2.
CAUTION — Due to the limited number of laboratories and materials, the following explanations
of r and R (see B.1.2.1 to B.1.2.3) are only intended to present a meaningful way of considering the
approximate precision of this test method. The data in Tables B.1 and B.4 should not be rigorously
applied to acceptance or rejection of material, as those data are specific to the round-robin and may
not be representative of other lots, conditions, materials, or laboratories.
B.1.2 The concept of “r” and “R” can be seen in Tables B.1 to B.4.
B.1.2.1 Repeatability – Two test results obtained within one laboratory shall be judged not equivalent if they
differ by more than the r value for that material. r is the interval representing the critical difference between two test
results for the same material, obtained by the same operator using the same equipment in the same laboratory.
B.1.2.2 Reproducibility – Two test results obtained by different laboratories shall be judged not equivalent if
they differ by more than the R value for that material. R is the interval representing the critical difference between
two test results for the same material, obtained by different operators using different equipment in different
laboratories.
B.1.2.3 The judgments in B.1.2.1 and B.1.2.2 will have approximately 95 % (0,95) probability of being correct.
B.2 Precision data

In the following tables, the statistical properties used are:
s r = within-laboratory standard deviation,
sR = between-laboratories standard deviation,
r = 95 % repeatability limit = 2,8sr,
R = 95 % reproducibility limit = 2,8sR,
nLab = number of laboratories reporting results.
