ISO 6259-2

ISO 6259-2 is a part of the ISO 6259 series, specifically focusing on the test conditions for determining the tensile properties of polyolefin pipes, such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). This standard is crucial for industries that rely on polyolefin pipes for applications in water supply, gas distribution, and industrial pipelines. By adhering to ISO 6259-2, manufacturers can ensure that their polyolefin pipes meet the required standards for strength, flexibility, and durability, making them suitable for long-term use under various pressure and environmental conditions.

In the ISO 6259-2 test, a section of polyolefin pipe is clamped in a tensile testing machine, and force is applied until the material breaks. The test measures key properties like tensile strength (the maximum load the pipe can withstand before failure), elongation at break (the degree to which the pipe stretches before it breaks), and the modulus of elasticity (the stiffness of the pipe). These results provide important data on the pipe’s ability to resist stress and strain, helping manufacturers assess the quality and performance of their polyolefin pipes.
