Designation:D406721Standard Classification System and Basis for Specification forReinforced and Filled Poly(Phenylene Sulfide)(PPS)Injection Molding and Extrusion Materials Using ASTMMethods1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4067;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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This classification system covers reinforced and filledpoly(phenylene sulfide)materials suitable for injection mold-ing and extrusion.1.2 This classification system is not intended for the selec-tion of materials,but only as a means to call out plasticmaterials to be used for the manufacture of parts.The selectionof these materials shall be made by personnel with expertise inthe plastics field where the environment,inherent properties ofthe materials,performance of the parts,part design,manufac-turing process,and economics are considered.1.3 The properties included in this classification system arethose required to identify the compositions covered.Ifnecessary,other requirements identifying particular character-istics important to specific applications shall be designated byusing the suffixes given in Section 5 or Classification SystemD4000.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.NOTE1There is no known ISO equivalent to this standard.NOTE2ASTM Standard D6358 provides a classification system forthe same materials covered in this standard,along with additional PPSmaterials,with the major difference being its use of ISO test methods,versus the use of ASTM test methods in this standard.The user of thisstandard is encouraged to evaluate switching to the use of Standard D6358as it is more up to date with current practices.1.5 This precautionary statement pertains only to the testmethod portion of this classification system,Section 12.Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety,health,andenvironmental practices and determine the applicability ofregulatory 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:2D256 Test Methods for Determining the Izod PendulumImpact Resistance of PlasticsD618 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 PlasticsD1238 Test Method for Melt Flow Rates of Thermoplasticsby Extrusion PlastometerD1600 Terminology forAbbreviated Terms Relating to Plas-ticsD3418 Test Method for Transition Temperatures and En-thalpies of Fusion and Crystallization of Polymers byDifferential Scanning CalorimetryD3641 Practice for Injection Molding Test Specimens ofThermoplastic Molding and Extrusion MaterialsD3835 Test Method for Determination of Properties ofPolymeric Materials by Means of a Capillary RheometerD3892 Practice for Packaging/Packing of PlasticsD4000 Classification System for Specifying Plastic Materi-als1This classification system is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D20 onPlastics and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D20.15 on ThermoplasticMaterials.Current edition approved Dec.1,2021.Published December 2021.Originallyapproved in 1982.Last previous edition approved in 2016 as D4067 16.DOI:10.1520/D4067-21.2For 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.1?D5630 Test Method for Ash Content in PlasticsD5740 Guide fo
