ASTM D695 Compression Testing Rigid Plastics
ASTM D695 Compression Testing Rigid Plastics
ASTM D695 is a test method used to determine the compressive properties of un-reinforced and reinforced plastics. It is used alongside its tensile test standard equivalent, ASTM D638. Together, ASTM D695 and ASTM D638 assess the fundamental material properties of polymers that are found in every industry and even every household around the globe. In order to fully understand the test setup, procedure, and results requirements, it is important to review the full standard.
What Does this Standard Measure?
ASTM D695 obtains the properties of a material's compressive strength, compressive yield point, and modulus. The standard specimen for strength determination is a right cylinder or prism whose length is twice its principal width or diameter. If the specimen is too thin, an anti-buckling support jig should be used to prevent the specimen from buckling.
