ISO 10350 Tensile and Flexural Properties of Plastics
The ISO 10350 standard is a comprehensive guide for determining the tensile and flexural properties of plastics used in aerospace and aviation sectors. This service ensures that materials meet the stringent quality and safety requirements necessary for critical components. Our team performs these tests using state-of-the-art equipment, following strict protocols to provide accurate results.
The tensile test measures the maximum stress a material can withstand before breaking, while the flexural test evaluates how well a specimen bends under load. These properties are crucial in aerospace and aviation due to the extreme environmental conditions materials must endure, including temperature variations, humidity, and mechanical stress.
Our laboratory adheres to ISO 10350:2019 for both tensile and flexural testing. The standard specifies procedures for preparing specimens, conducting tests under controlled environments, and interpreting results. We use specialized machines capable of applying precise loads and measuring displacements accurately.
Test samples are typically prepared according to ISO 6786-2:1996 or ASTM D882-18 standards. Specimens must be conditioned in a controlled environment before testing, ensuring consistent results. Our technicians ensure that each sample is handled with care and precision throughout the entire process.
Post-testing, we provide detailed reports outlining tensile strength, elongation at break, flexural modulus, and other critical parameters. These metrics are essential for assessing material performance under various conditions, ensuring compliance with aerospace standards such as AS/SEMS 5012-83 or SAE ARP4761.
The results of these tests inform design decisions in the development of aircraft parts, ensuring they can withstand the rigors of flight. By adhering to ISO 10350, we contribute to the safety and reliability of aerospace components, a critical aspect of our industry's commitment to quality.
