What is ISO 23153‑2 about ?
ISO 23153 discusses plastics. ISO 23153‑2 is the second part of the multi-series ISO 23153 and discusses the preparation of test specimens and determination of properties.
ISO 23153‑2 specifies the methods of preparation of test specimens and the test methods to be used in determining the properties of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) moulding and extrusion materials. Requirements for handling test material and for conditioning both the test material before moulding and the specimens before testing are given.
Who is ISO 23153‑2 for ?
ISO 23153‑2 on polyetheretherketone (PEEK) moulding and extrusion materials of plastic is useful for:
- Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) products manufacturers
- Plastic manufactures
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use ISO 23153‑2 ?
PEEK is an aromatic polyether, a high-performance thermoplastic used in coating, insulation of high-performance wire and cable, and moulded parts. ISO 23153‑2 specifies the required test procedures and preparations for performing the test.
Procedures and conditions for the preparation of test specimens and procedures for measuring properties of the materials from which these specimens are made are also given. Properties and test methods that are suitable and necessary to characterize PEEK moulding and extrusion materials are listed. ISO 23153‑2 helps the users to choices the appropriate test specimens and follow the test preparations.
