This document specifies a method for determining the tensile properties of pipes made of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U), oriented unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-O), chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-C) and high-impact poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-HI, PVC-M or PVC-A), and in particular the following properties: the stress at yield and stress at break; the elongation at break. NOTE The general method of test for the determination of the tensile properties of thermoplastics pipes is given in ISO6259-1 .This document also gives, for information purposes only, the corresponding basic specifications in AnnexesA, B, C and D.
