The Definitive Guide to ISO 178

Due to their low cost, light weight, resistance to corrosion, and general versatility, plastics have established a significant presence in many different industries. It is important to determine the material properties of plastics in order to characterize their expected behavior in real-world applications. One important property is the relationship between stress and strain while a plastic sample is being bent or flexed: in other words, the flexural properties of the material. To regulate an internationally standardized method for determining this property, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) developed ISO 178. This guide is designed to introduce you to the basic elements of an ISO 178 flexure test and will provide an overview of the testing equipment, specimens, and results involved in the standard. However, anyone planning to conduct testing compliant with ISO 178 should not consider this guide an adequate substitute for reading the full standard.
