Items evaluated as tensile characteristics of plastic materials include the tensile modulus, strength, and break strain. In this Data Sheet, the tensile modulus of polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) specimens (dumbbell shaped and cut types) was calculated based on displacement data acquired using an extensometer at a low temperature of -40 \u00b0C. In addition, the strength and break strain for the respective plastic materials were also evaluated.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-efdf405 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"efdf405\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>Measurements and Jigs<\/strong><\/h2><p>In finding a sample&#8217;s tensile modulus, it is necessary to use an extensometer capable of measuring tiny deformations of the sample with high accuracy. Measurements of crosshead travel distances include errors not only from sample deformation, but also from load cell and test jig deformation. When the deformation region is very small, the ratio of the error becomes significant, so this data is not suitable for tensile modulus calculations. In such cases, an extensometer that can measure changes in the gauge length with an accuracy of at least 1 % must be used. When measuring the modulus of elasticity with a 50 mm gauge length, this corresponds to an accuracy of 1m. In this test, a one-touch contact type extensometer, capable of operating even in a -40 \u00b0C environment, was used.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7e5e71 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c7e5e71\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>Measurements and Jigs<\/strong><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-413e636 e-grid e-con-full e-con e-child\" data-id=\"413e636\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2206f5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2206f5f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/shimadzu-testing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/tensile-tests-of-plastic-materials-at-low-temperatures-40-C-fig1-test-status.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"tensile-tests-of-plastic-materials-at-low-temperatures-40-C-fig1-test-status\" data-elementor-lightbox-description=\"Fig. 1: Test Status\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTUxNzgsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9zaGltYWR6dS10ZXN0aW5nLmNvbVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNFwvMDlcL3RlbnNpbGUtdGVzdHMtb2YtcGxhc3RpYy1tYXRlcmlhbHMtYXQtbG93LXRlbXBlcmF0dXJlcy00MC1DLWZpZzEtdGVzdC1zdGF0dXMuanBnIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/shimadzu-testing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/tensile-tests-of-plastic-materials-at-low-temperatures-40-C-fig1-test-status-768x590.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-15178\" alt=\"Fig. 1: Test Status\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Fig. 1: Test Status<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f029c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7f029c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/shimadzu-testing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/tensile-tests-of-plastic-materials-at-low-temperatures-40-C-fig2-relationship-between-stress-and-strain.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"tensile-tests-of-plastic-materials-at-low-temperatures-40-C-fig2-relationship-between-stress-and-strain\" data-elementor-lightbox-description=\"Fig. 2: Relationship Between Stress and Strain\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTUxNzksInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9zaGltYWR6dS10ZXN0aW5nLmNvbVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNFwvMDlcL3RlbnNpbGUtdGVzdHMtb2YtcGxhc3RpYy1tYXRlcmlhbHMtYXQtbG93LXRlbXBlcmF0dXJlcy00MC1DLWZpZzItcmVsYXRpb25zaGlwLWJldHdlZW4tc3RyZXNzLWFuZC1zdHJhaW4uanBnIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"635\" src=\"https:\/\/shimadzu-testing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/tensile-tests-of-plastic-materials-at-low-temperatures-40-C-fig2-relationship-between-stress-and-strain-768x635.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-15179\" alt=\"Fig. 2: Relationship Between Stress and Strain\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Fig. 2: Relationship Between Stress and Strain<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-458c548 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"458c548\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In the results, samples with an &#8220;RT&#8221; suffix were measured in a room temperature environment, and those with a &#8220;-40&#8221; suffix were measured at -40 \u00b0C.
