Expert Commentary
The Big Standard for Vulcanized Rubber and Thermoplastic Elastomers—Tension. It uses Dumbbell specimens. The key technical requirement is Strain Measurement. Because rubber has massive elongation (up to 1000%), standard clip-on extensometers will slip or weigh down the specimen. MTO recommends non-contact Video Extensometry (AVE) or Long-Travel contact extensometers. Our software provides the Modulus at 100% and Modulus at 300%, which are the industry-standard specifications for nearly every rubber product on the market.
