This document specifies methods for determining the compressive strength, the corresponding compressive strain, the compressive stress at 10% nominal compressive strain, and the compressive modulus of rigid cellular plastics.Two procedures are specified. Procedure A and Procedure B.Procedure A utilizes the compression plate displacement for the nominal property determination. It is used to determine:compressive strength and the corresponding nominal compressive strain;compressive stress at 10% nominal compressive strain;nominal compressive modulus.Procedure B uses an extensometer and determines the conventional properties. It is used to determine:compressive strength and the corresponding compressive strain;compressive modulus.
