ASTM D1004
TearTear resistance (Graves tear) of plastic film and sheeting — initiation tear.
A cut or notched specimen is pulled so the tear propagates from the flaw, giving tear strength — the number that matters once a part is already damaged.
Tear resistance (Graves tear) of plastic film and sheeting — initiation tear.
Tear propagation resistance (trouser tear method) of plastic films.
Trouser tear and graves tear of films.
Tearing strength of fabrics by the tongue (single rip) procedure (CRE machine).
Engine mounts, bushings, seals and weatherstrips — tensile, tear and compression of elastomers.
Trapezoid tearing strength of geotextiles.
Tear strength of conventional vulcanized rubber and thermoplastic elastomers (Die A, B, C and trouser).
Tongue and trouser tear of fabrics.
Tear properties of fabrics — trouser, wing and tongue-shaped specimens.
Paper — tearing resistance (Elmendorf reference; trouser tear on UTM as supplementary).
Leather — stitch tear resistance (upholstery and footwear seam design).
Leather — tear load: single-edge and double-edge (Baumann) tear.
Tear resistance of compounds for tyres, belts and moulded goods.
Tear strength of rubber — trouser, angle (Die C) and crescent test pieces; small (Delft) test pieces.
Tear resistance of rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics.
Conveyor belts — method for determination of tear propagation resistance of textile belts.
Tear propagation of film packaging; easy-open feature validation.
Trouser tear and Elmendorf tear resistance for plastic films and sheeting.
Tear strength of flexible cellular polymeric materials.
Nonwovens — strip tensile and trapezoid tear (hygiene, medical, filtration, wipes).

Thickness, width and expected break force decide the grip as much as the method does. Send us those and we will specify the frame, the load cell and the fixture around them.
