17、ethylene products, e.g. pipes and fittings. The slow crack growth behaviour can be regarded as a combination of yield stress and the capability of disentanglement of tie molecules as reported by Kramer and Brown.3,6,7The disentanglement capability of a polymer will determine its resistance against s
18、low crack growth.The strain hardening modulus of a polymer is a measure of the disentanglement capability of the tie molecules of this polymer and is an intrinsic property. The strain hardening modulus of polyethylene is obtained from a stress-strain curve above the natural draw ratio. The stress-st
19、rain curve of a compression moulded sample is relatively easily obtained using a tensile test apparatus equipped with an optical extensometer. The test time of the strain hardening modulus is a consequence of the speed of tensile testing and is therefore constant for all measurements and independent
20、 of the slow crack growth property of the tested material itself.The strain hardening modulus value allows discrimination between materials. It has been demonstrated that the strain hardening modulus corresponds very well with several environmental stress cracking test methods for high density polye

The stress-strain curve is obtained sufficiently beyond the natural draw ratio. The

The load cell shall be able to accurately measure forces in the range of 40 N for 0,30 mm thick samples and 120 N for 1,0 mm thick samples.5.1.2 Extensometer, which shall comply with Class 1, as defined in ISO 9513. The traverse displacement shall not be used as a measure of strain. For a 0,

Care shall be taken no
39、t to change the width of the test specimen by deformation. Therefore, it is recommended to use a microscope to measure width to avoid deforming the test specimen.5.3 Punch knife, in accordance with 6.1 shall be used.
