Comparison of United States and British Methods for Testing Plastic Materials

Abstract

This report is a comparison of United States test methods, primarily American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) methods with British Standards, for testing plastics materials. A total of 265 test methods are discussed covering the following major subject areas: Mechanical Properties, Effects of Temperature, Miscellaneous, Electrical Tests, Optical Properties and Chemical Tests. The objective of the study, which was carried out in cooperation with a Quadripartite Nations project, was to identify comparable U.S. and British Specifications. The report covers standardization methods issued through 1975.
