ISO 293:2004

ISO 293:2004 specifies the methods for preparing test specimens of thermoplastic materials using compression molding. This standard is essential for ensuring consistent and reliable test samples that can be used in various types of material testing, such as mechanical, thermal, or chemical performance assessments. Compression molding is widely used for shaping thermoplastics under controlled heat and pressure conditions, allowing for the production of specimens with uniform dimensions and properties.

The standard outlines the conditions under which thermoplastic materials should be molded, including temperature, pressure, and cooling rate, as well as the preparation and conditioning of the material before molding. ISO 293:2004 ensures that the specimens produced are of high quality and suitable for further testing according to other relevant standards.

At Pacorr Testing Instruments Pvt Ltd, our testing equipment is designed to support compliance with ISO 293:2004, ensuring that manufacturers can produce high-quality, standardized test specimens for evaluating the performance of their thermoplastic materials. This is crucial for industries such as automotive, electronics, and packaging, where precise material properties are critical for product reliability and performance.
