ASTM D638
Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Plastics


ASTM D638 establishes standardized procedures for evaluating the tensile mechanical properties of rigid and semi-rigid plastics, including elastomers and vulcanized rubber materials. The standard quantifies critical parameters such as tensile strength, elongation at break, and elastic modulus through tensile testing performed on geometrically defined specimens. Applicable to a broad spectrum of thermoplastic, thermoset, and elastomeric polymers, it serves as an essential reference for material characterization, quality assurance, and performance validation in industrial manufacturing and materials testing laboratories.
