ASTM D1693-12
Historical Standard: ASTM D1693-12 Standard Test Method for Environmental Stress-Cracking of Ethylene Plastics
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D1693
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the susceptibility of ethylene plastics, as defined in Terminology D883 , to environmental stress-cracking when subjected to the conditions herein specified. Under certain conditions of stress and in the presence of environments such as soaps, wetting agents, oils, or detergents, ethylene plastics may exhibit mechanical failure by cracking.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
Note 1There is no known ISO equivalent for this standard.
