ISO 16241 specifies a method for determining the resistance to slow crack growth of polyethylene (PE) materials for pipes and fitting products (PENT). The test procedure is a notch tensile test and the time to failure is recorded. Additional information that can be collected in these tests are the stress in the sample and the failure mode.
A test machine capable of applying an axial load on the test piece is required. By means of our testing expertise and modular product design, we will help find the solution that is right for you. Give our test engineers a call today for help configuring the best test machine and accessories according to .
