ISO 527-3 Tensile Test on Plastic Film

Tensile tests on plastic films are of great importance in the film packaging industry, but also in battery testing of separator films.

ISO 527-3 specifies the test conditions for determining the tensile properties of plastic films and sheets with a thickness of less than 1 mm and is based on the general principles specified in ISO 527-1, such as conditioning, test procedure, test equipment and results.

The ASTM equivalent to ISO 527-3 is ASTM D882, which, however, cannot be regarded as technically equivalent, as it not only differs in the specimen geometries, but also places lower demands on the accuracy of the strain measurement.

Plastics with a thickness of more than 1 mm are tested according to ISO 527-2 or ASTM D638.
