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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 9,
Thermoplastic materials, in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN)
Technical Committee CEN/TC 249, Plastics, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation
between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 13000-2:2005), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— in Clause 2, normative references have been updated;
— the former Figure 2 has been split into two figures (Figures 2 and 3) and subsequent figures have
been renumbered;
— in Figures 2 and 3, new dimensions (thickness 1,5 ± 0,25 and 1,0 ± 0,20) have been added;
— in Clause 6:
— Table 1 has been edited to compliment Figures 2 and 3;
— a new Table 2 has been added to compliment Figure 4;
— former Annex A has been changed to Bibliography, and titles for standards have been corrected.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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 document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 13000-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 9,
Thermoplastic materials.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 13000-2: 2005), which has been

4 Sampling
Details of procedures for sampling semi-finished products depend to a large extent on the physical
shape of the particular material. Whenever feasible, the materials shall be sampled. Sampling shall be
statistically adequate to satisfy the requirements of the test method concerned.
5 Preparation of test specimens
The specimens used for testing shall be taken directly from or shall be machined from the semi-finished
product without other treatment. Thus, conversion of a semi-finished product into a test specimen by
any moulding procedure is not permitted. Where applicable, ISO standards shall be followed for the
preparation of test specimens. In some instances, special procedures are required that are described
either in the general discussion or in the method.
6 Testing of semi-finished PTFE products
6.1 General
Properties required for specification purposes shall be determined in accordance with the International
Standards referenced in this part of ISO 13000 or the procedures given in this part of ISO 13000. For
the determination of density, tensile properties, hardness and electrical properties, condition the test
specimens at 23 °C ± 2 °C for a period of at least 4 h prior to test. The other tests require no conditioning.
Annex A provides a list of other standards relating to testing semi-finished products of PTFE.
6.2 Linear dimensions
These shall be determined by the procedures provided in ISO 1923 for cellular plastics.
6.3 Tensile properties
6.3.1 Tensile specimens
6.3.1.1 General
The appropriate type of test specimen shall be chosen from those given in 6.3.1.2 to 6.3.1.5. At least
three test specimens shall be prepared from the sample and three specimens shall be tested.
NOTE Test specimens prepared from moulded basic shapes, rods or tubes conforming to 6.3.1.2 are likely
to give results similar to those obtained with test specimens prepared from the same product but conforming to
6.3.1.3.

When testing extruded products, the test specimens shall be cut parallel to the axis of extrusion so that,
as far as possible, each test specimen represents a different section along the axis and a different area of
the cross-section. When testing skived tape, skived sheet or skived film, the test specimens shall be cut
perpendicular to the direction in which the pressure was applied when moulding the billet from which
the product was skived. If this direction is not known, two sets of test specimens shall be prepared and
tested, the test specimens in one set being cut at 90° to those in the other set and the mean result shall
be calculated from the higher set of values (indicating, typically, the direction perpendicular to the axis
of applied pressure). This procedure ensures a uniform way of reporting test results. The micro-tensile
test specimen (see 6.3.1.3) is used most commonly for PTFE products.
6.3.1.2 Turned dumb-bell test specimens
The test specimens shall be turned so that their dimensions are in the ratios given in Figure 1, and so
that the shape is as shown in Figure 1. The value of the larger diameter (D) shall be 7
