Plastics - Determination of flexural properties (ISO 178:2001)

Kunststoffe - Bestimmung der Biegeeigenschaften (ISO 178:2001)

1.1   Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Ermittlung der Biegeeigenschaften von steifen (siehe 3.12) und halbsteifen Kunststoffen unter definierten Bedingungen fest. Es ist ein genormter Probekörper festgelegt, jedoch sind die Parameter für andere gegebenenfalls anzuwendende Probekörpergrößen enthalten. Ein Bereich von Prüfgeschwindigkeiten ist enthalten.
1.2   Das Verfahren wird für die Untersuchung des Biegeverhaltens [1] der Probekörper und für die Bestimmung der Biegefestigkeit, des Biegemoduls und anderer Gesichtspunkte der Spannungs-Dehnungs-Beziehung unter den definierten Bedingungen verwendet. Es wendet einen frei unterstützten Balken an, der in der Mitte der Auflagedistanz belastet wird (Dreipunktbiegeversuch).
1.3   Das Prüfverfahren ist zur Anwendung auf folgende Werkstoffgruppen geeignet:
   thermoplastische Formmassen und Extrudiermassen, einschließlich gefüllter und verstärkter Formmassen in Ergänzung zu den ungefüllten Sorten; steife thermoplastische Platten;
   duroplastische Formmassen, einschließlich gefüllter und verstärkter Compounds; duroplastische Platten.
In Übereinstimmung mit ISO 10350 1 und ISO 10350 2 gilt diese Internationale Norm für faserverstärkte Compounds mit Faserlängen von   7,5 mm vor der Verarbeitung. In Bezug auf Langfaser-verstärkte Werkstoffe (Laminate) mit Faserlängen von > 7,5 mm siehe Verweisung [2] in den Literaturhinweisen.
Das Verfahren ist üblicherweise nicht für harte Schaumstoffe und Schichtstoff-Verbundwerkstoffe geeignet, die Schaumstoffe enthalten [3], [4].
ANMERKUNG   Für bestimmte Sorten Textilfaser-verstärkter Kunststoffe ist ein 4-Punkt-Biegeversuch vorzuziehen. Dieser ist in Verweisung [2] beschrieben.
1.4   Das Verfahren wird mit Probekörpern durchgeführt, die direkt in den festgelegten Maßen geformt, aus dem Mittelteil eines Norm-Vielzweckprobekörpers (siehe ISO 3167) ausgearbeitet oder aus fertigen oder halbfertigen Produkten wie Formteilen, Schichtstoffen und extrudierten oder gegossenen Platten a

ISO 178:2001(E)
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 178 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 2,
Mechanical properties.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 178:1993), which has been updated in the following
ways:
 a method of correcting for curvature at the beginning of the stress/strain curve is given (see 9.2);
 a method of correcting for the compliance of the test machine is given (see annex A).
Annex A forms a normative part of this International Standard.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 178:2001(E)

Plastics — Determination of flexural properties
1 Scope
1.1 This International Standard specifies a method for determining the flexural properties of rigid (see 3.12) and
semi-rigid plastics under defined conditions. A standard test specimen is defined, but parameters are included for
alternative specimen sizes for use where appropriate. A range of test speeds is included.
[1]
1.2 The method is used to investigate the flexural behaviour of the test specimens and for determining the
flexural strength, flexural modulus and other aspects of the flexural stress/strain relationship under the conditions
defined. It applies to a freely supported beam, loaded at midspan (three-point loading test).
1.3 The method is suitable for use with the following range of materials:
 thermoplastics moulding and extrusion materials, including filled and reinforced compounds in addition to
unfilled types; rigid thermoplastics sheets;
 thermosetting moulding materials, including filled and reinforced compounds; thermosetting sheets.
In agreement with ISO 10350-1 and ISO 10350-2, this International Standard applies to fibre-reinforced
compounds with fibre lengths u 7,5 mm prior to processing. For long-fibre-reinforced materials (laminates) with
fibre lengths > 7,5 mm, see reference [2] in the bibliography.
The method is not normally suitable for use with rigid cellular materials and sandwich structures containing cellular
[3, 4]
material .
NOTE For certain types of textile-fibre-reinforced plastics, a four-point bending test is preferred. It is described in
reference [2].
1.4 The method is performed using specimens which may be moulded to the specified dimensions, machined
from the central portion of a standard multipurpose test specimen (see ISO 3167) or machined from finished or
semi-finished products such as mouldings, or extruded or cast sheet.
1.5 The method specifies preferred dimensions for the test specimen. Tests which are carried out on specimens
of different dimensions, or on specimens which are prepared under different conditions, may produce results which
are not comparable. Other factors, such as the test speed and the conditioning of the specimens, can also
influence the results. Especially for semi-crystalline polymers, the thickness of the oriented skin layer, which is
dependent on moulding conditions and thickness, affects the flexural properties. Consequently, when comparable
data are required, these factors must be carefully controlled and recorded.
1.6 Flexural properties can only be used for engineering design purposes for materials with linear stress/strain
behaviour. For non-linear behaviour, the flexural properties are only nominal. The bending test should preferentially
be used with brittle materials, for which tensile tests are difficult.

The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these
publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to
