Applied Technical Services conducts ASTM D618 Testing to standardize the temperature and humidity of an environment before and during procedures. The primary objective of ASTM D618 is to standardize the environmental conditions for tests involving plastic samples. Our technicians utilize state-of-the-art technology to properly acclimate plastic materials to conditions ideal for comparing test results across different facilities.
Why is Plastic Conditioning Important?
Conditioning is an essential step in the preparation and testing process of plastic materials. Unlike metals, temperature and humidity greatly influence the properties of plastics, so conditioning is necessary to regulate the testing environment to produce consistent results. Conditioning helps with the following:
- Bringing Materials to Average Room Conditions or Equilibrium
- Creating Reproducible Results
- Subjecting Materials to Abnormal Conditions to Evaluate
The Importance of ASTM Testing
The American Society for Testing and Materials, or ASTM, develops international testing standards that improve the safety, quality, and standardization of products and their production process. Our ISO/IEC 17025:2017-accredited testing and analysis facilities provide dozens of services in compliance with ASTM to ensure our services adhere to international standards.
