ISO 6259-3 specifies the method for determining the tensile properties of polyolefin pipes, including polyethylene, cross-linked polyethylene, polypropylene, and polybutene. The standard focuses on key mechanical characteristics, such as:

• Stress at yield

• Elongation at break

The test ensures that polyolefin pipes meet consistent mechanical performance requirements, providing reliable behavior under operational stresses and installation conditions.

Tram testing equipment provides an automated and precise environment for performing ISO 6259-3 tests. Pipe specimens are securely mounted, and all measurements—including tensile force, elongation, stress at yield, and elongation at break—are automatically recorded and calculated using TramQA software, ensuring accurate and repeatable results.
