27、logy D883 and Guide D5033.4. Significance and Use4.1 Compression tests provide information about the com-pressive properties of plastic lumber and shapes when theseproducts are used under conditions approximating those underwhich the tests are made. In the case of some materials, therewill be a spec

28、ification that requires the use of this test method,but with some procedural modifications that take precedencewhen adhering to the specification. Therefore, it is advisable torefer to that material specification before using this testmethod. Table 1 in Classification D4000 lists the ASTMmaterials s

29、tandards that currently exist.4.2 Compressive properties include modulus of elasticity,secant modulus, compressive strength, and stress at a givenstrain. In the case of a material that fails in compression by ashattering fracture, the compressive strength has a very definitevalue. In the case of a m

30、aterial that does not fail in compressionby a shattering fracture nor exhibits a compressive yield point,the compressive strength is an arbitrary one depending uponthe degree of distortion that is regarded as indicating completefailure. Many plastic lumber materials will not exhibit a trueyield poin

31、t. Compressive strength can have no real meaning insuch cases. For plastic lumber, the stress at a given strain of3 % (0.03 in./in. (mm/mm) is typically used.4.3 Compression tests provide a standard method of obtain-ing data for research and development, quality control, accep-tance or rejection und

32、er specifications, and special purposes.The tests cannot be considered significant for engineeringdesign in applications differing widely from the load-time scaleof the standard test. Such applications require additional testssuch as impact, creep, and fatigue.5. Apparatus5.1 Testing MachineAny suit

47、h. Calculate and record theminimum value of the cross-sectional area. Measure the lengthof the specimen at several points and record the value (see TestMethods D5947 for additional information).10.1.1 For test specimens that have some characteristic thatdoes not allow for accurate measurement of the
