    Alternatively, the results may be reported as energy lost per unit cross-sectional area at the notch (J/m 2 or ft·lb/in 2). In Europe, ISO 180 methods are used and results are based only on the cross-sectional area at the notch (J/m 2). The dimensions of a standard specimen for ASTM D256 are 63.5 × 12.7 × 3.2 mm (2.5 × 0.5 × 0.125 in).
