Introduction

Note: Nothing in this standard supercedes applicable laws and regulations.

Note: In the event of conflict between the English and domestic language, the English language shall take precedence.

Purpose. This test procedure shall be used for determining:

• Force at rupture, breaking strength

• Maximum Force, tensile strength

• Elongation at specified forces and maximum force

• Elongation at rupture, and

• Force elongation curve for textiles, Plastic Roll Goods (PRG) supported and unsupported, leathers, threads and other materials

Applicability. Textiles, plastic roll goods, leathers, threads, and other materials requiring tensile properties in their application.

Remarks. Summary of Test Procedure. A tensile load is applied to test specimen(s), using an electronic Constant Rate of Extension (CRE) tensile testing machine, until the specimen will no longer withstand an increase in force. The forces and elongations measured are recorded.
