1 ScopeThis part of ISO 22088 describes a procedure for assessing the environmental stress cracking (ESC)susceptibility of polymeric materials in chemical environments by slowly increasing the strain applied to a tensile specimen at a constant rate.It is applicable to test specimens prepared by moulding and/or machining and can be used to assess the relative ESC susceptibility of a material exposed to different environments or the relative ESC susceptibility of different plastics exposed to a specific environment.This is essentially a ranking test and is not intended for the provision of design data.The principle advantage of the test compared with the test
