ASTM D2952-95

1.1 This specification covers a general classification system for ethylene plastics. The requirements specified herein are not necessarily applicable for use as criteria in determining suitability for end use of a fabricated product.

1.2 The parameters used to classify and specify ethylene plastics are flexural modulus, flow rate, intrinsic viscosity, brittleness temperature, dielectric constant, and dissipation factor.

1.3 Ethylene plastic materials, being thermoplastic, are reprocessable and recyclable (see Note 2). This specification allows for the use of those ethylene plastic materials, provided that any specific requirements as governed by the producer and end user are met.

1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are given for information only.
