tensile test ASTM D 2370
tensile test ASTM D 2370
(OP)
Hi
i wonder does the specimen thickness affects results of tensile strength of Epoxy coating materiel when tested in accordance to ASTM D 2370 ,to get higher results test a thicker specimen ?!

I dont know about epoxy but for steel there is a fixed relation between diameter and initial length for elongation calculation in tensile tests. Some standards use Lo=4xDiameter and others Lo=5xdiameter. I guess that for other materials the same principle applies
