Designation:D803322Standard Classification System forPoly(Ether Ether Ketone)(PEEK)Molding and ExtrusionMaterials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D8033;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This classification system covers poly(ether ether ke-tone)materials suitable for injection molding and extrusion.This classification system allows for the use of recycledmaterials provided that all specification requirements are met.1.2 The properties included in this standard are thoserequired to identify the compositions covered.Other require-ments necessary to identify particular characteristics importantto specialized applications are to be specified by using thesuffixes in Section 5.1.3 This classification system and subsequent line callout(specification)are intended to provide means of calling outpoly(ether ether ketone)materials used in the fabrication of enditems or parts.It is not intended for the selection of materials.It is recommended that material selection be made by thosehaving expertise in the plastics field only after careful consid-eration of the design and the performance required of the part,the environment to which it will be exposed,the fabricationprocess to be employed,the cost involved,and the inherentproperties of the material other than those covered by thisspecification.1.4 Poly(ether ether ketone),commonly referred to asPEEK,is a member of the poly(aryl ether ketone)or PAEKfamily.Specification D6262 covers properties of PAEK shapesand includes shapes produced from PEEK.NOTE1This standard and ISO 23153 address the same subject matter,but differ in technical content.1.5 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest method portion,Section 11,of this classification system:This standard does not purport to address all of the safetyconcerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety,health,and environmental practices and determine the appli-cability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.6 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D149 Test Method for Dielectric Breakdown Voltage andDielectric Strength of Solid Electrical Insulating Materialsat Commercial Power FrequenciesD256 Test Methods for Determining the Izod PendulumImpact Resistance of PlasticsD257 Test Methods for DC Resistance or Conductance ofInsulating MaterialsD618 Practice for Conditioning Plastics for TestingD638 Test Method for Tensile Properties of PlasticsD648 Test Method for Deflection Temperature of PlasticsUnder Flexural Load in the Edgewise PositionD790 Test Methods for Flexural Properties of Unreinforcedand Reinforced Plastics and Electrical Insulating Materi-alsD792 Test Methods for Density and Specific Gravity(Rela-tive Density)of Plastics by DisplacementD883 Terminology Relating to PlasticsD1600 Terminology forAbbreviated Terms Relating to Plas-ticsD2863 Test Method for Measuring the Minimum OxygenConcentration to Support Candle-Like Combustion ofPlastics(Oxygen Index)D3641 Practice for Injection Molding Test Specimens ofThermoplastic Molding and Extrusion MaterialsD3418 Test Method for Transition Temperatures and En-thalpies of Fusion and Crystallization of Polymers byDifferential Scanning CalorimetryD3835 Test Method for Determination of Properties ofPolymeric Materials by Means of a Capillary Rheometer1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D20 on Plasticsand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D20.15 on Thermoplastic Materi-als.Current edition approved Sept.1,2022.Published September 2022.Originallyapproved in 2016.Last previous edition approved in 2016 as D8033-16.DOI:10.1520/D8033-222For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1D3892 Practice for
