ASTM D1708 Tensile Properties of Plastics by Use of Micro tensile Specimens
ASTM D1708 is a standard test method for tensile properties of plastics by use of microtensile specimens. The test helps in determining the modulus of elasticity, tensile strength, elongation, and other mechanical properties of the plastic material.

Introduction to ASTM D1708
ASTM D1708 is a test method used to evaluate the tensile properties of plastics using microtensile specimens. The test measures the properties of plastic materials including the modulus of elasticity, tensile strength, elongation, and other mechanical properties. The test method is commonly used for quality control, material development, performance evaluation, and specification purposes.
The microtensile specimens used in this test method are small and require a specialized testing apparatus to ensure accurate results. The results obtained from this test method can be used to determine if the plastic material meets the desired specifications for a particular application.
ASTM D1708 Test Method
The ASTM D1708 test method involves preparing microtensile specimens from the plastic material of interest using a specialized cutting tool. The method proceeds as follows:
Mounting and Testing the Specimen
The prepared specimen is clamped into the testing apparatus using specialized grips designed for microtensile testing. The specimen is subjected to a tensile force until failure occurs. During the test, load and displacement data are recorded.
Creating test report
The recorded data is used to determine the mechanical properties of the plastic material including the modulus of elasticity, tensile strength, and elongation. The test report is created which includes the mechanical properties of the plastic material determined from the test, the dimensions of the specimen, the test conditions, and any other relevant information.
ASTM D1708 Specimens
Specimen details
The specimens used in the test method ASTM D1708 are rectangular bars with a reduced cross-sectional area in the middle of the gauge length.
Specimen dimensions
The acceptable specimen length for ASTM D1708 is at least three times the width, and the thickness is approximately 1 mm. The reduced section has a length of approximately 5 mm and a width of approximately 1 mm.
Specimen preparation
The specimens are machined to the required dimensions and the reduced section is accurately located in the middle of the gauge length. The specimens are conditioned at a standard temperature and humidity before testing.
ASTM D1708 Results
The ASTM D1708 test method evaluates the mechanical properties of plastic materials including the modulus of elasticity, tensile strength, elongation, and other properties. The results obtained from the test can be used to determine if the plastic material meets the desired specifications for a particular application.
Tests related to ASTM D1708
ASTM D638 is a test method that evaluates the tensile properties of plastics using standard test specimens. The method is similar to ASTM D1708 but uses larger specimens and different testing apparatus. ASTM D638 is commonly used for quality control, material development, and specification purposes.
