NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 2/Sec 5) (First Revision) which is identical with ISO 3167 : 2002 Plastics
Multipurpose test specimens issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Plastics Sectional
Committee and approval of the Petroleum, Coal and Related Products Division Council.
This standard was originally published in 1997 which was identical with ISO 3167 : 1993. The first
revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of ISO 3167 : 2002.
The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without
deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention
is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words International Standard appear referring to this standard, they should be
read as Indian Standard.
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice
is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
In this adopted standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian
Standards also exist. The corresponding Indian Standards which are to be substituted in their respective
place are listed below along with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated:

PART 2 SAMPLING AND PREPARATION OF TEST SPECIMENS
Section 5 Multipurpose Test Specimens
( First Revision )
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies requirements relating to multipurpose test specimens for plastic moulding
materials intended for processing by injection or direct compression moulding.
Specimens of types A and B are tensile test specimens from which, with simple machining, specimens for a variety
of other tests can be taken (see annex A). Because they have such wide utility, these tensile specimens are referred
to in this International Standard as multipurpose test specimens.
The principal advantage of a multipurpose test specimen is that it allows all the test methods mentioned in annex A
to be carried out on the basis of comparable mouldings. Consequently, the properties measured are coherent as all
are measured with specimens in the same state. In other words, it can be expected that test results for a given set of
specimens will not vary appreciably due to unintentionally different moulding conditions. On the other hand, if
desired, the influence of moulding conditions and/or different states of the specimens can be assessed without
difficulty for all of the properties measured.
For quality-control purposes, the multipurpose test specimen may serve as a convenient source of further specimens
not readily available. Furthermore, the fact that only one mould is required may be advantageous.
The use of multipurpose test specimens shall be agreed upon by the interested parties, because there may be
significant differences between properties of the multipurpose test specimens and those specified in the relevant test
methods.
The main modification with respect to the previous edition of this International Standard lies in narrowing the
tolerances on the radius of the shoulder of specimen types A and B. Taking into account the fact that many moulds
based on the previous edition are still in use, the changes are introduced as recommendations only. It is intended to
change from recommended to mandatory use at the next revision. Thereby a time span of about 10 years is
provided, allowing a gradual transition in the course of regular mould replacement. See also annex B.

The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these
publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to
investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For
undated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC
maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

The recommended overall length of 170 mm for type A is consistent with ISO 294-1 and ISO 10724-1. For some materials,
the length of the tabs may need to be extended (e.g. to give an overall length of 200 mm) to prevent breakage or slippage in the
jaws of the test machine.

The recommended values and ranges may become mandatory on occasion of the next revision of the standard. The lower
tolerances on the radius reduce the ranges of the stress concentrations that are found at the transitions between the narrow
parallel-sided and the rounded portions. Together with the smaller tolerance on the distance between the broad parallel-sided
portions for type B, a common value of the initial distance between jaws can be used for tensile testing (see ISO 527-2).

Consequences of changes in geometry

L = 115 mm 1 mm
The shortest possible distance from clamp to shoulder is:
4,932 mm
previous edition:
6,002 mm
This is not a very big change, but it affects the effective length. It may be used to determine nominal strain data in the
pre-yield range for e.g. modulus determination under severe conditions, where extensometers cannot be used, e.g.
in temperature-controlled enclosures, by using grip separation only. However, the effective length is quite sensitive to
radius changes, and limiting the radius tolerance reduces possible error sources when utilizing this method. It may be
introduced in ISO 527-2 on the occasion of the next revision.
The reduction of the radius tolerance of machined specimens allows the use of a common clamping distance of
1 % 1 % (average of 22 materials)
was found. Compared to the radius reduction from 60 mm to 20 mm, the recommended increase from (20 mm to
25 mm) to (23 mm to 25 mm) will result in only a very minor reduction of the notch factor, with negligible effect on the
test results.
Changes in tensile strength at yield values due to the radius tolerance reduction for injection-moulded specimens are
not to be expected. There may be a slight increase in strain-at-break values.
