1 General Principles
1.1

Basis of CAMPUS

The basis of CAMPUS is the set of the following three International Standards:
ISO 10350-1, Plastics - Acquisition and presentation of comparable single-point data –Part 1: Moulding materials.
ISO 11403-1, Plastics - Acquisition and presentation of comparable multipoint data - Part
1: Mechanical properties.
ISO 11403-2, Plastics - Acquisition and presentation of comparable multipoint data - Part
2: Thermal and processing properties.
These standards where developed by the Technical Committee ISO/TC 61 “Plastics”, SubCommittee SC 2 “Mechanical Properties”, Working Group WG 8 “Forms of Data
Presentation”. CAMPUS represents an application of these standards in the sense that, as
far as possible,• the data tables in CAMPUS are taken from the above International Standards only,• the lowest status of development for their application generally being „Draft International
Standard, DIS“. This relates to the above indicated standards and to the relevantmaterial and test standards as well.
1.2

Scope of this Document

The status of ISO 10350-1, ISO 11403-1 and ISO 11403-2 and of the many standards
involved, combined with the rules of CAMPUS given above, are difficult to handle for allthat are less familiar with the standardization system. The present document therefore lists
the single-point and multipoint properties included in CAMPUS and summarizes the test
conditions and supplementary instructions that are given in the standards and often are
asked for.
1.3

Specimen Conditioning

1.3.1

Humidity Insensitive Materials

For materials that have properties that are not significantly sensitive to any absorbed
water, test specimens are conditioned according to the International Standard appropriate
to the material. If the materials standard is not available, condition test specimens at (23 ±2) °C and (50 ± 10) % r.h. for a minimum length of time of 88 h (see ISO 291, Class 2).

1.3.2 Humidity Sensitive Materials
1.3.2.1 Dry and Humid StateFor those materials having properties that are significantly dependent upon theconcentration of any absorbed water, consult the relevant materials standard forprocedures for conditioning specimens to achieve material that has one of the following
two states:• Dry: For thermoplastics the dry state is that as moulded.
• Humid: In equilibrium with an atmosphere of 50% r.h. at 23 °C.
Following such conditioning, all test specimens are stored at (23 ± 2) °C for a minimum of
16 h before testing. The storage atmosphere is either dry (sealed) or at 50% r.h.
depending upon the condition of the specimen.
Ensure that humid test specimens do not markedly lose water and dry test specimens do
not markedly take up water up to the end of the individual test.
The different states are handled like one material, presenting singlepoint-data in twocolumns and multipoint data as separate graphics but with the following exceptions:

1.3.2.4 Exceptions for Creep Data

Creep tests are carried out in a laboratory with the atmosphere 23 °C / 50 % r.h.. For
testing at an elevated temperature this results in test atmospheres of the same absolutebut markedly lower relative humidity, that can be calculated according to the following
equation.
UT = U23 exp [ - T* (T23-1 - T-1)]

(1.1)

where
UT
is the relative humidity at the test temperature T, in % r.h.;U23 is the relative humidity of the laboratory atmosphere, i.e. at 23 °C, in % r.h.;T23= 296 K is the temperature of the laboratory atmosphere in K;
T
is the test temperature in K;
T*= 5213 K.
E.g. starting at the laboratory atmosphere 23 °C / 50 % r.h. and raising the test
temperature to T = (60 + 273) K leads to a test humidity of UT = 7 % r.h. only. Ensure thatfor a humidity sensitive material the test specimen is in equilibrium with the relevant test
atmosphere before starting the test.
Resulting from the conditions described above the humidity of the test specimens differs
between different test temperatures: Creep data of humidity sensitive materials, taken at
different temperatures, do not refer to comparable material states.

1.3.3

Ageing of Test Specimens(Physical) ageing is the change of a property versus time without any chemical change(e.g. decomposition). It takes place after the processing of the test specimen, i.e. after
cooling from elevated temperatures to a lower temperature, at which structural relaxation
times are long in comparison with the ageing time. Ageing may be generated by volumeretardation, relaxation of internal stresses and recrystallization. Its type, amount and ratedepend on the ageing temperature.
In case of room-temperature testing, the ageing time is the period between cooling downfrom processing temperatures and reading the property, the minimum of this period being
the minimum conditioning time, given in clause 1.3.1 and 1.3.2, i.e. 88 h, and all properties
that require testing times up to some hours maximum, conventionally are carried out soonafter. Therefore, the ageing time and the conditioning time generally are in the same orderof magnitude, resulting in extensively comparable ageing states and thus roomtemperature properties. This holds too for the testing at low temperatures, which retard
further ageing.
The ageing process is more complicated when measurements are made at elevatedtemperatures: The room-temperature ageing of the conditioning period may at least partly
be reversed, followed by a modified ageing type at the higher temperature. For testing thethermal properties melting (Tm), glass (Tg) and softening temperatures (Tf and VST) as
well as the coefficients of thermal expansion (αp and αn) the temperature run is fixed in therelevant testing standard. Thus, the measured properties are based on states of ageing,
which are comparable between different laboratories. To ensure this, no conditioning atelevated temperatures is provided beyond the procedures described in the relevant
standard for the material. For testing stress-strain diagrams at elevated temperatures awarm-up time as short as possible is used that suffices for attaining homogeneoustemperatures. e.g. 20 min to 30 min.
An insufficient state of standardization is present for the testing of creep data: The wide
range of testing times between 1 h and 103 h or even 104 h is not accompanied by suitably
fixed conditioning i.e. ageing times. For room-temperature testing the conditioning time of≤ 88 h results in floating ageing states for a large range of the testing-time „window“. For
the testing at elevated temperatures even no conditioning procedure is given, though theaction of ageing is well described in ISO 899-1, annex A. The only reasonable definition
would be: „Condition the test specimen prior to loading at the relevant test temperature, forat least the planned testing time“. This however will double the amount of time for testing
creep data.

1.4

Test Atmosphere1.4.1

Principles

The test is conducted in the same atmosphere as used for conditioning, or the residence
time between conditioning and including testing is short enough to prevent the specimensfrom undergoing any changes in their material state and hence behaviour.
1.4.2

Change of Humidity

The testing of room-temperature properties commonly is carried out at the laboratory
atmosphere of 23 °C and 50% r.h.. For testing initially dry plastics, the maximum residence
time that avoids unacceptable changes of properties depends on the thickness of the test
specimen and the sensitivity of the test method. Up to now the following examples are
known.
The tensile modulus versus time of PA66 can be described by the following equation:
Et(t) / Et0 = 1- 0,028 t1/2/h

(1.2)

where
Et(t) is the tensile modulus after the residence time t;
Et0
is the tensile modulus of the initially dry material;tis the residence time in hour, h;his the specimen thickness in millimeter, mm.
At h = 4 mm thickness e.g., the tensile modulus decreases by 1% within two hours.
The impact strength of initially dry plastics tested at the humid laboratory atmosphere,
generally increases with the residence time. For Charpy notched impact strength e.g. themaximum residence time of the test specimens is 8,2 h for PA66 and 3,2 h for PA6 to
avoid an increase of more than 5%.
The action of the uncontrolled humidity uptake on the softening temperatures Tf and VSTof initially dry materials has not yet been studied.
1.4.3

Change of Temperature

Differences in temperature between the test specimen and the testing atmosphere can behandled only for short-time tests, i.e. impact tests, and often are advantageous indeveloping automatic equipment. ISO 179-2 (instrumented Charpy test) gives therecommendation to use resident times less than 10 s for low-temperature-conditioned
specimens tested at room temperature.

2 Single-Point Data
According to clause 1, the acquisition of the single-point data generally shall be in accordance with ISO 10350-1. With respect to the high number of properties and thus of test
methods and test standards involved, it was split up into the following two parts.
Part 1: Moulding materials
Part 2: Long-fibre-reinforced plastics

The indicated symbols were introduced into CAMPUS from version 4.1 onwards. This
paper therefore gives the symbols according to ISO 10350-1 commonly for all languages.
In ISO 10350-1 the properties additionally are numbered. These numbers however dependon the exclusion or inclusion of properties and thus differ between the versions of ISO
10350, whereas the symbols represent a permanent designation system. The numbers
therefore have not been introduced into CAMPUS.
For the injection or compression moulding of test specimens see clause 2.2.7.
For machining specimens from compression moulded plates see ISO 2818.
For the conditioning of the test specimens see clause 1.3.

2.2.2 Mechanical Properties
2.2.2.1 Test conditions and specimen

The tests are generally carried out at the standard laboratory conditions 23 °C / 50 % r.h..
For testing the properties of moisture sensitive materials in the dry state (as moulded) see
clause 1.4.2. For testing low-temperature-conditioned specimens at room temperature see
clause 1.4.3.
ISO 20753 describes two types of multi-purpose specimens for tensile tests. The typeA11 specimen has a lower value for the radius of the shoulders of 20 mm to 25 mm(recommended: 24 mm ± 1 mm), which thereby enables a central region to be obtained oflength at least 80 mm. The standard ISO bar having dimensions 80 mm x 10 mm x 4 mm
can thus be cut from the central region of this type of test specimen which is therefore
demanded for directly moulded specimens. The type A21 specimen has a larger shoulder
radius of >60 mm (recommended: 60 mm ± 0,5 mm) and is provided only for specimens
machined from compression moulded plates.

ISO 527-1 requires, that the prestress at the start of the tensile test shall be less than the
stress at 0,05% strain, which corresponds to the lower limit of the modulus-testing interval.
The clamping procedure, however, generally generates higher values of prestress, positiveor negative. These shall be equilibrated to the above given limit before starting the test.
The tensile modulus is defined as the secant modulus taken between the strains of
0,05% and 0,25%, using the test speed of 1 mm/min.
Instead of using the two distinct stress/strain points the tensile modulus can be determinedalso by a linear regression procedure applied on the part of the curve between thesementioned points.
Record value of nominal strain at break only for specimens that show yielding or abreaking strain beyond 10% when tested at a speed of 50 mm/min. The test speed shallbe 50 mm/min, see Figure 1 and Table 5.
After the measurement of the tensile modulus at the test speed of 1 mm/min, the sametest specimen can be used for testing the other relevant tensile properties. It can be
unloaded however intermediately, i.e. starting a second test with the speed of 5 mm/min or

Contents of CAMPUS

50 mm/min, respectively, at zero-point load. Using the one test specimen at both 5
mm/min and 50 mm/min is not allowed.
The nominal strain shall be used beyond yielding, see Table 5. Its determination is based
upon the relative change of the grip separation L, see Figure 1, upper abscissa, instead of
the change of the gauge length L0, see Figure 1, lower abscissa.
Note that the nominal strain at break can be only half the strain at break formerly used.
The nominal strain at break is additively composed by the strain at yield and the part ofnominal strain between yield and break.
If break occurs above 50% nominal strain, record it as >50.
Record σ50 value for specimens only that show no yielding up to 50% strain, see Table 5.
Record σB and εB-values for specimens only that show break without yielding. For a strain
at break of less than or equal to 10% when tested at a speed of 50 mm/min the test speed
shall be 5 mm/min, see Figure 1. For a strain at break greater than 10% and up to 50%
when tested at a speed of 50 mm/min the test speed shall be 50 mm/min. See Table 5.

The designations and abbreviations that have been used for the property are somewhat

Processing Conditions for Test Specimens

For injection or compression moulding, the procedures described in ISO 293, ISO 294-1
and -3, ISO 295 or ISO 10724-1 and -2 shall be used. The moulding method and theconditions are specified in the relevant International Standard for the material. If moulding
conditions have not yet been standardized, they shall represent the centre of therecommended processing ranges. In each case and for each of the processing methods
they shall be the same for every specimen.
If only compression moulding conditions are indicated, all test specimens shall becompression moulded. If both compression and injection moulding conditions areindicated, only the plates larger than 60 mm x 60 mm shall be compression moulded.

The values for the injection velocity vI to be recorded shall be taken for processing
multipurpose-test specimens and bars, using the ISO moulds type A or B, see ISO 294-1.
For the other specimen types, i.e. small plates (ISO moulds D1 or D2, see ISO 294-3), it isrecommended that the relevant injection velocity vI be chosen such that the injection time tI
is comparable to that used for the ISO mould type A.
The values for the pressure at hold pH to be recorded are suitable for processing 4 mm
thick test specimens, i.e. multipurpose-test specimens and bars, using the ISO moulds
type A or B, see ISO 294-1. For the other specimen types, i.e. small plates (ISO moulds
D1 or D2, see ISO 294-3), markedly lower values may be sufficient to prevent the test
specimen from sink marks.

ISO 527-1 requires, that the prestress at the start of the tensile test shall be less than the
stress at 0,05 % strain, which corresponds to the lower limit of the modulus-testing interval. The clamping procedure, however, generally generates higher values of prestress,
positive or negative. These shall be equilibrated to the above given limit before starting thetest.
Record data between -40 °C and the maximum working temperature. Data can berecorded for a maximum of 10 temperatures.
For testing single-point (room-temperature) data the test speed depends on the mode of
failure of the material, see Table 5. In order to avoid changing the test speed at different
temperatures for a given material, multipoint data are measured using the common test
speed of 5 mm/min.
The test is carried out up to an ultimate point that may be the yield point Y or, if no yielding
is observed, the breaking point B or 50% (TPE 300%) strain maximum. If relevant, theultimate point of the diagrams is designated by B (Break) or Y (Yield). Depending on the
difference in test speed, the stress and strain at yield or the stress at 50% strain, maydiffer from the corresponding single-point data.
The data for anisotropic stress-strain-temperature-curves is recorded likewise. Curves
determined in the normal and parallel direction are plotted in a combined diagram by the
CAMPUS software.

The specific enthalpy difference is referred to room temperature [∆H(23°C) = 0]: It is theintegral of the specific heat cP (at constant pressure), starting at room temperature tohigher and lower temperatures.
The specific heat is measured in a cooling run, using the temperature rate of -10 K/min,starting at the maximum recommended processing temperature and down to -40 °C.
The resulting temperature at the onset of crystallization Tc, respectively the glass transition
temperature Tg may be indicated in the diagram. The difference between the melting temperature Tm and the crystallization temperature Tc gives an impression of the hysteresis in

Based on a capillary or slit-die rheometer, the basic properties are the shear stress τ,corrected according to the Bagley method, and the shear rate γ, corrected according to
Weissenberg- Rabinowitsch. For each temperature the shear stress τ (the shear viscosity,i.e. the ratio η = τ /γ) is recorded between the shear rates 3 s-1 and 30.000 s-1 at ninevalues equidistant on a logarithmic scale: ∆lgγ = 0,5.
Data is recorded for 3 temperatures that cover the range of the recommended processing
temperatures.
Corresponding to the secant moduli (see 3.4), the viscosity is the secant slope of theshear-stress versus shear-rate diagram, the latter however being much easier to understand and to interpret compared to the viscosity diagram.

The specific volume is measured at constant pressures of (20; 40; 80; 120; 160 and 200)
MPa, starting at the maximum recommended processing temperature and cooling with 2,5K/min down to room temperature. The isobar for 0,1 MPa (≈ 1 bar) is extrapolated.
For the data below the relevant freezing temperatures, crystallization or glass transition
temperatures, record if they are measured, using a direct piston-displacement method, i.e.
under uniaxial -strain condition, or indirectly with the test specimen immersed in a
hydraulic fluid, e.g. mercurium.
Below the relevant freezing temperatures, data from different isobars should not be used

25 generic grades of thermoplastics have been tested, commissioned by CAMPUS. ThesepvT data are included in CAMPUS and can be linked to commercial grades where
relevant. pvT data mainly depend on the chemical composition of the plastic only and arenearly independent of features between different commercial grades, including averagemolecular mass, except extreme cases like PE-UHM. The contribution of inorganic fillers

thickness at a set of selected temperatures and cooling to room-temperature as describedin section 1.3.3.
The preferred method for thermoplastic materials is the Fixed temperature method (IEC60216-1). At least five but typically ten equidistantly distributed ageing periods arenecessary for one LTHA curve. After each period a series of five specimens is returned toroom temperature and subjected to the property measurement indicating the degree of
aging. The periods have to be chosen such to allow for at least two data points before theend-of-life point (e.g. 50% retention) and one after the end-of-life point.
It is also acceptable to use the Fixed time frame method (IEC 60216-6) instead with a timeframe of >552 h.
The initial property is the property of the material after conditioning for 48 h at the lowest of
the selected aging temperatures. All data is normalized to this initial value according to theequation
P [%] = P (t, T) / P (48 h, Tmin) * 100.

the International Standard for the Acquisition and Presentation of comparable multipoint

The list of chemicals (see Table 12) for which the chemical resistance can be described isfollowing ISO 175.
Because the description of the chemical resistance of a polymer is generally more
complicated than is possible in a simple ranking of yes or no CAMPUS gives the possibility
to add more information in internal or external links. The ranking follows the following

5 Abbreviated Terms
This guide for fixing abbreviated descriptions mainly is relevant for licensees only and shallbe the only source of searchable abbreviations used in CAMPUS.
ISO 1043-1 includes abbreviated terms, that have come into established use (like ABS),
symbols for components of these terms (i.e. AN, B and S) and symbols for special characteristics (like -HI). The latter two types of symbols enable to compile additional descriptions of the one plastic, different from the abbreviated term (e.g. SAN-HI or S/AN+B/S/AN
instead of ABS). The aim however of this guide (as of ISO 1043) is „to prevent the occurrence of more than one abbreviated term for a given plastics material“. Only in this casethe designation system described in ISO 1043 becomes suitable for searching purposes.
The following principles, therefore, shall be used for CAMPUS.
All polymers shall be presented according to the following system:(P1+P2+P3)-I-(F1+F2)X FR(FR1+FR2)...
where:
P1: polymer 1
P2: polymer 2
P3: polymer 3
F1:
filler 1
F2:
filler 2
X:
total weight percentage of fillers (= % F1 + % F2)
I:
grade is impact modified
FR: flame retardant
FR1: flame retardant agent 1
FR2: flame retardant agent 2... :indicates more ingredients which are not specified••••

The polymers P1, P2 and P3 shall be taken from the list of base polymers, separate
document “Base Polymers”.
Copolymers are handled as base polymers.
For mixtures and blends start with the polymer that forms the continuous phase.
The fillers F1 and F2 shall be taken from the list of fillers, starting with the filler having
the highest amount of addition.

Examples:
ABS
ABS+PC(ABS+PC)-GF20
PC-(GF+GB)10
PC-GF(ABS+PC)-(GF+CF)30...
For the table of allowed base polymers, fillers and flame retardants see separate
document http://www.campusplastics.com/docs/basepoly.htm Each licensee can request
to add more base polymers and fillers via M-Base.
