ASTM F2136 – NCLS Test – Slow Crack Growth Resistance Testing of HDPE – Test Equipment
Introduction ASTM F2136 – Notched, Constant Ligament-Stress (NCLS) Test to Determine Slow-Crack-Growth Resistance of HDPE Resins or HDPE Corrugated Pipe is a laboratory test method developed to evaluate the resistance of high-density polyethylene materials to Slow Crack Growth (SCG). Slow crack growth is one of the most important long-term failure mechanisms in polyethylene products subjected…
