ASTM D412

ASTM D412 is a standard test method for testing the tensile properties of rubber compounds. This test method is used to determine the ability of rubber materials to resist deformation under tension and to evaluate their strength, elongation, and modulus of elasticity.

Frequently Asked Questions

ASTM D412 is a standard test method for determining the tensile properties of thermoplastic elastomers and thermoset rubber.

ASTM D412 explicitly addresses determining tensile properties for rubber and elastomeric materials. This standard outlines the procedures for conducting tensile tests, enabling precise measurement of parameters such as tensile strength, elongation at break, and modulus.

The test chamber allows testing at elevated (up to 280C° (535F°)) and low (down to -80C° (-112F°)) temperatures.

Each method involves stretching a rubber sample until it breaks or deforms permanently and measuring the amount of force required to do so.
