- Date: November 9, 2026
- Time: 09:30 AM (CET) and 3:00 PM (CET)
- Industry: Plastics
- Language: English
- Duration: 30 min. + 10 min. Q&A
Free registration at 9:30 a.m. (CET) Free registration at 3:00 p.m. (CET)
In this webinar, you will learn
- How the ISO 527 family of standards is structured and what current requirements are specified, particularly in ISO 527-1 and ISO 527-2.
- Which specimen geometries and gauge lengths are relevant, and how to correctly determine the specimen cross-sectional area.
- What effect the alignment, clamping, and preloading of the specimen have on the accuracy and reproducibility of your test results.
- Which test speeds and test procedures must be followed for the modulus measurement and the remainder of the tensile test.
- How to determine Young's modulus and strain in accordance with standards and when to use an extensometer or crosshead displacement for strain measurement.
- Which requirements apply to force and strain measurement as well as calibration, and which tactile and optical extensometers are suitable for different plastics and strain ranges.
Benefits
- Test in accordance with standards: Effectively implement the requirements of ISO 527.
- Avoid measurement errors:Identify and reduce common sources of error.
- Achieve reliable results: Improve accuracy, repeatability, traceability, and reproducibility.
- Choose the write test setup: Select the appropriate specimen grips and extensometers.
