Applied Technical Services performs materials testing in accordance with standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials, such as ASTM D618. This ASTM D618 testing is conducted in our state-of-the-art materials testing laboratories.
ASTM D618: Conditioning Plastics for Testing
ASTM D618-21 is a standard that refers to the method used to condition plastic-based materials for testing. This conditioning is used to achieve several different effects, such as thermal cycling, humidity testing, and establishing a conditional baseline of temperature and humidity to ensure test results can be reproduced. ASTM D618-21 and ISO 291 are comparable standards, though ASTM D618 is more adaptable and precise.
