Plastic test specimens used in ASTM D2863 (Measuring the Minimum Oxygen Concentration to Support Candle-Like Combustion of Plastics - Oxygen Index). This test method describes three different procedures and six types of test specimens. These test specimens can be made from a wide range of sheet, molded, and flexible film plastics. The specimen type and specimen size varies based on the specimen material used. See ASTM D2863 Table 1 to determine the appropriate specimen type for your project.
