Polymeric materials, cellular flexible - Determination of stress-strain characteristics in compression - Part 1: Low-density materials
This document specifies a method for the determination of the compression stress/strain characteristics of low-density flexible cellular materials up to 250 kg/m3. It also specifies a method for the calculation of the compression stress value of such materials.
This document specifies a method for the determination of the compression stress/strain characteristics of low-density flexible cellular materials up to 250 kg/m3. It also specifies a method for the calculation of the compression stress value of such materials.
Covers the determination of material with a density up to 250 kg/m3. It also indicates a method for the calculation of the compression stress value of such materials. The compression stress/strain characteristic is a measure of the load-bearing properties of the material. Two formulas allow to calculate the results. Part 2 refers to high density materials. Constitutes a minor revision of the first edition (ISO 3386/1-1979).
The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
