Plast: allmänt

This document specifies test procedures for the acquisition and presentation of multipoint data which demonstrate the behaviour of plastics under the following environments:

—   prolonged exposure to heat;

—   liquid chemicals;

—   environmental stress cracking under a constant tensile stress;

—   artificial weathering. The tests are listed in order of increasing severity of the environment. By testing under the least severe environments first, it is possible to make informed judgements regarding whether tests under more severe conditions are worthwhile.

The ISO 472 series defines terms used in the plastics industry, including terms and definitions appearing in the plastics standards of ISO/TC 61 and general terms and definitions of polymer science used in all aspects of plastics technology.

This document defines terms used in the plastics standards of ISO TC61/SC11 Plastics Products and relevant terms applied in the area of welding (including solvent welding) and thermal staking.
