If you have a tensile tester at work you may already have copies of
these specifications, so you may want to look for them in the books
instead of paying for a download.
For tensile testing of plastic specimens thinner than 1 mm use ASTM D882
http://www.techstreet.com/cgi-bin/detail?product_id912450 (This test
method is similar to ISO 527-3, but is not considered technically
equivalent), and for specimens up to 14 mm thick use ASTM D638
http://www.techstreet.com/cgi-bin/detail?product_id912429 (This test
method and ISO 527-1 are technically equivalent)
Both are available for download in Adobe Acrobat format from ASTM at the
URLs shown above at US$36.00 and US$41.50, respectively.
Perhaps more appropriate because it describes a test for welds is ASTM
C1147 http://www.techstreet.com/cgi-bin/detail?product_id1358 also
available for download at US$30.50.
Check the descriptions at these URLs for more details.

Subject: Redux test?
Just like with what seems like everyone else, the date on my Redux
has gone by. Its getting time to move the fuselage in the garage so I
will need to use what is left or acquire some more. In previous
discussions on this I don't believe that any one made mention of what
configuration a test coupon should look like. I would like to make up a
coupon and put it on a tensile tester at work. If the coupon breaks
before the adhesive bond goes away I'm figuring on calling the stuff
good. The material has been stored in the house away from temperature
swings etc.
Can someone direct me to some reference or personal experience.
It will be good to start on the fuselage. I'm pretty much punch drunk
---From filling, sanding, priming, sanding . . . . . . flight control
surfaces and wings. Empty Super fill jars and primer cans scattered
about the garage look like so many wasted beer cans left over from an
alcoholic binge.
