Designation:D 5935 96Standard Practice forPlasticsAcquisition and Presentation of ComparableSingle-Point Data1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5935;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(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice identifies specific test procedures for theacquisition and presentation of comparable data for certainbasic properties of plastics.In general,each property isspecified by a single experimental value,although in certaincases,properties are represented by two values obtained underdifferent test conditions.The properties included are thosepresented conventionally in manufacturers data sheets.Thetest methods and test conditions apply predominantly to thoseplastics that may be injection-or compression-moulded orprepared as sheets of specified thickness.1.2 This practice is identical to ISO 10350.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:D 5936 Specification for Multipurpose Test SpecimensUsed for Testing Plastics2D 5937 Test Method for Determination of Tensile Proper-ties of Moulding and Extrusion Plastics2D 5938 Guide Describing the General Principles for Deter-mination of Tensile Properties of Plastics2D 5939 Practice for Preparing Multipurpose Test Specimensand Bars of Thermoplastics by Injection Moulding2D 5940 Practice for Preparing Small Plate Test Specimensof Thermoplastics by Injection Moulding2D 5942 Test Method for Determining Charpy ImpactStrength of Plastics2D 5943 Test Method for Determining Flexural Properties ofPlastics2D 5944 Guide for Describing the General Principles forDetermining the Temperature of Deflection of PlasticsUnder Load2D 5945 Test Method for Determining Temperature of De-flection of Plastics and Ebonite Under Load22.2ISO Standards:3ISO 62:1980 PlasticsDetermination of Water AbsorptionISO 75-1:1993 PlasticsDetermination of Temperature ofDeflection Under LoadPart 1:General Test MethodISO 75-2:1993 PlasticsDetermination of Temperature ofDeflection Under LoadPart 2:Plastics and EboniteISO 75-3:1993 PlasticsDetermination of Temperature ofDeflection Under LoadPart 3:High-Strength Thermo-setting Laminates and Long-Fibre-Reinforced PlasticsISO 178:1993 PlasticsDetermination of Flexural Proper-tiesISO 179:1993 PlasticsDetermination of Charpy ImpactStrengthISO 291:1977 PlasticsStandard Atmospheres for Condi-tioning and TestingISO 293:1986 PlasticsCompressionMouldingTestSpecimens of Thermoplastic MaterialsISO 294 PlasticsInjection Moulding of Test Specimens ofThermoplastic MaterialsISO 295:1991 PlasticsCompression Moulding of TestSpecimens of Thermosetting MaterialsISO 306:1987 PlasticsThermoplasticMaterialsDetermination of Vicat Softening TemperatureISO 527-1:1993 PlasticsDeterminationofTensilePropertiesPart 1:General PrinciplesISO 527-2:1993 PlasticsDeterminationofTensilePropertiesPart 2:Test Conditions for Moulding andExtrusion PlasticsISO 899-1:1993 PlasticsDeterminationofCreepBehaviourPart 1:Tensile CreepISO 1133:1991 PlasticsDetermination of the Melt Mass-Flow Rate(MFR)and the Melt Volume-Flow Rate(MVR)of ThermoplasticsISO 1183:1987 PlasticsMethods for Determining theDensity and Relative Density of Non-Cellular PlasticsISO 1210:1992 PlasticsDetermination of the Burning Be-haviour of Horizontal and Vertical Specimens in Contactwith a Small-Flame Ignition SourceISO 2577:1984 PlasticsThermosettingMouldingMaterialsDetermination of Shrinkage1Precision and Bias This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM CommitteeD-20 on Plastics and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D20.61 on USATechnical Advisory Group for ISO/TC 61 on Plastics.Current edition approved June 10,1996.Published August 1996.2Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 08.03.3Available from American National Standards Institute,11 W.42nd St.,13thFloor,New York,NY 10036.1AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR TESTING AND MATERIALS100 Barr Harbor Dr.,West Conshohocken,PA 19428Reprinted from the Annual Book of ASTM Standards.Copyright ASTMNOTICE:This standard has either been superseded and replaced by a new version or discontinued.Contact ASTM International(www.astm.org)for the latest information.ISO 2818:1980 PlasticsPreparation of Test Specimens byMachiningISO 3146:1985 PlasticsDetermination of Melting Behav-iour(Melting Temperature or Melting Range)of Semi-Crystalline PolymersISO 3167:1993 PlasticsMultipurpose Test SpecimensISO 4589:1984 PlasticsDetermination of Flammabilityby Oxygen IndexISO 8256:1990 PlasticsDetermination of Tensile-ImpactStrengthISO 10724 PlasticsThermosetting Mouldi
