Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 17162:2014(E)
Fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advanced technical
ceramics) — Mechanical properties of monolithic ceramics
at room temperature — Determination of compressive
strength
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of nominal compressive strength
of advanced monolithic technical ceramic materials at room temperature.

The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
nominal compressive strength
σ
c,m
maximum nominal stress supported by the material at the instant of failure when loaded in linear elastic
compression
4 Significance and use
Advanced technical ceramics are used for applications in which their corrosion resistance, their high
temperature stability, their potential for light-weight constructions, and their high nominal compressive
strength can be utilized in an ideal manner. For application of ceramic components, it shall be considered
that they are loaded mainly with compressive stresses since this type of loading is considerably less
critical than probably appearing tensile stresses.
This International Standard describes the background for a directed material development, quality
control, and for component-optimised applications. It ensures the determination of comparable nominal
compressive strength data.
ISO 17162:2014(E)
The result obtained from a compression strength test is determined by a large number of factors
associated with the microstructure of the material, the surface finishing procedure applied for the
preparation of the test pieces, the size and shape of the test piece, the rate of load application, and the
relative humidity of the ambient atmosphere. Furthermore, the result obtained
