This method has been realized to produce tensile properties data for the control and specification of the plastic materials. The collection of these data is useful for the qualitative characterization and for research and …

Download PDF ASTM D638 tensile tests measure the force required to break a plastic sample specimen and the extent to which the specimen stretches or elongates to that breaking point. Tensile test procedure: Specimens are placed in the grips of the universal tester at a specified grip separation and pulled …

Download PDF BS EN 455-2 describes the testing requirements for determination of physical properties, including break strength, before and after accelerated aging, of medical gloves for single use, surgical gloves, examination/procedure gloves, long-cuff medical gloves, and seemed/welded gloves. For this test, we recommend either pneumatic grips side acting grips or …
