Scope: B) Lens Finish Runner
The multipurpose test ISO 3167 defines a single test SPI #1 Tab Gates
specimen has the basic specimen that can provide
shape of a tensile dog bone, samples for a wide variety of
150 mm long, testing. This is a significant
center section 10 mm wide difference from ASTM, where
4 mm thick by multi-cavity molds are often
80 mm long. used to provide the variety of
test samples for basic physical
testing.
