Key Features
Preparation of Test Pieces
Test may only be performed on pipes 24 hours after production.
Prepare three samples each with a length of 200+/-20mm long. Two circumferential marks are traced 100mm apart at equal distances from two ends.
Calculation of Results
Longitudinal Reversion is calculated as follows
RL, = L/Lo x 100
Where,
L = Lo –L;
L may be positive or negative.
Lo is the distance between the marks before the exposure in mm
L is the distance between the marks after the exposure in mm.
Calculate the value of the longitudinal reversion RL of the three sample pieces. Report the arithmetic mean of the three values.
A pipe of specified length is placed in a liquid bath or air oven at a specified temperature for a specified time . A marked length of this portion of pipe is measured, under identical conditions, before and after heating. The reversion is calculated as a percentage of the change in length in relation to the initial length. The surface appearance of the test piece shall not be changed after heating.
Air oven must be set to 100/110/120/150 Celsius according the pipe material.
At room temperature, (23 degrees Celsius +/- 2) measure the distance of the two circumferential marks using a caliper.
Then, suspend the test piece in the air oven. The test piece may only be placed in the air oven if the oven has reached the set temperature.
In placing the test sample in the air oven, the actual temperature of the oven must return to the set temperature within 15 minutes.
The duration of exposure is according the test sample material and the wall thickness of the sample, generally 60/120/240min.

Standard
ISO 17555 applies to packaging-grade BOPP films containing ≥95% polypropylene resin; usable as single-layer film or laminates paired with other plastic substrates. The test stipulated in ISO 17555 mainly include, tensile strength & strain at break, Dimensional change on heating (thermal shrinkage), Coefficient of water vapour transmission, Haze, Wetting tension etc.,
ISO 15988 specifies requirements for biaxially oriented transparent PET (BOPET) films, mainly used for packaging, either alone or as a laminated layer with other films. The main test stipualted in this standard include tensile strength and strain, Dimensional change on heating, Oxygen transmission coefficient, Water vapour transmission coefficient, Haze, Wetting tension, thickness etc.,
ISO 15987 specifies classification, mandatory visual, dimensional, mechanical, barrier, optical, surface energy, and food contact safety requirements for transparent BOPA film, supplied in roll form, either used standalone or laminated with PE, CPP, PET, aluminium foil for multi-layer packaging structures. The test stipulated in ISO 15987 mainly include, tensile strength & tensile strain at break, Oxygen transmission coefficient, Dimensional change on heating, Haze, Wetting tension etc.,
ASTM D1204 Standard Test Method for Linear Dimensional Changes of Nonrigid Thermoplastic Sheeting or Film at Elevated Temperature
ASTM D1204 is method to measure linear dimensional change (shrinkage or expansion) of nonrigid thermoplastic sheeting/film when exposed to a specified elevated temperature and time in air. Applies to nonrigid thermoplastic sheeting/film made by calender or extrusion processes, the heating medium is air (mechanical convection oven) — this points is the fundamental difference from ASTM D2732 (liquid bath).
ISO 13636 specifies requirements anf test methods for non-oriented PET (APET) sheets — made from virgin, recycled, or combined PET, thickness < 2.0 mm. It explicitly excludes foamed sheets and shrinkable films (those are covered elsewhere, e.g. biaxially oriented PET in ISO 15988). The mandatory performance tests including Tensile stress at yield, Heat shrinkage, Oxygen transmission rate (OTR), haze value, Intrinsic viscosity (IV).
ISO 11501 Plastics — Film and sheeting — Determination of dimensional change on heating
ISO 11501 specifies a uniform laboratory test method to quantify thermal dimensional variation of plastic films and thin sheets (max thickness 1 mm), covering both machine (longitudinal) and transverse directions, for all plastics whether heat-shrinkable or non-shrink grade.
Plastic pipe line marker
Plastic pipe line marker is an industrial testing equipment used to determine the longitudinal shrinkage of thermoplastic pipes, according to the standard design of " ISO 2505/GBT 6671-2001 Determination of longitudinal shrinkage of thermoplastic pipes", and the temperature resistance of pipes is evaluated by the size change of the specimen in a high temperature environment.
The equipment adopts a modular structure design, mainly composed of an operating table, double brackets, and fixed plates to form a frame system, equipped with adjustable scribing shaft and rotating roller shaft to achieve precise pressure. The core function is to draw a closed reticle with a spacing of 100mm on the surface of the pipe as the original gauge, measure the deformation after heating at 150°C for 60 minutes, and calculate the longitudinal shrinkage rate by formula. Its innovative structure includes a telescopic base to adapt to different pipe lengths, an inner wall limit mechanism to avoid surface damage, a slide rail with a lifting device to improve positioning accuracy, and mechanical optimization to improve structural stability in high-temperature environments. Some models are equipped with a weight rod assembly and anti-slip rubber strips to ensure uniform pressure as the specimen rotates and prevent the tube from slipping.
