ASTM D638

ASTM D638 is a standard test method used to measure the tensile properties of plastic materials. In simple terms, it involves stretching a sample of plastic to see how much force it can withstand before breaking. This test provides valuable information about the material's strength, elasticity, and overall durability, helping manufacturers and engineers understand how the plastic will perform in real-world applications. By following this standardized method, results are consistent and comparable across different materials and tests.
