Testing Products for ASTM D3528

Superior to D1002 for high-strength bonds because it eliminates the eccentric peel forces during the pull.
Testing Products for ASTM D3574
Compression/Tear

Pre-flexing: You must compress the foam to 75% of its thickness twice before taking the actual measurement.

Recommended Machine: 100-1000-6
Testing Products for ASTM D3846
Shear

Notch Alignment: The two notches must be on opposite sides and offset by exactly 0.25 inches.

Recommended Machine: 312-25-980
Testing Products for ASTM D412
Tension

High Elongation: Rubbers can stretch 500% to 1000% before breaking.

Recommended Machine: 240-500-1400
Testing Products for ASTM D429
Adhesion (Peel/Pull)

Peak Capture: Peel tests produce high-frequency oscillations as the bond breaks.

Recommended Machine: 140-2250-6
Testing Products for ASTM D4533
Tear

Fabric Toughness: Geotextiles are designed to resist rock punctures; they are grabby and tough.

Recommended Machine: 314-100-1215
Testing Products for ASTM D5034
Tension

The Grab Center: You only clamp the center 1″ of a 4″ wide fabric to simulate real-world snagging.

Recommended Machine: 100-1000-6
Testing Products for ASTM D5035
Tension

Edge Fraying: You must ravel the edges (pull out side threads) to reach the exact target width.

Recommended Machine: 313-50-1200
Testing Products for ASTM D5169
Shear

The 5lb Roller: The bond of Velcro is only as good as the pressure used to close it.

Recommended Machine: 100-1000-6
Testing Products for ASTM D5379

Uses a V-notch to create a pure shear state in the center of the specimen. Highly sensitive to notch precision.
Testing Products for ASTM D5733
Tear

The Notch: The tear must follow the fibers; the trapezoid shape forces the tear across a wider area.

Recommended Machine: 100-250-12
Testing Products for ASTM D5766
Tension

Stress Concentration: This test measures how much the hole weakens the overall structure (Open Hole Tension).

Recommended Machine: 612-1000-630
Testing Products for ASTM D624
Tear

The Nick Factor: The depth of the pre-cut nick is the most sensitive variable in the test.

Recommended Machine: 100-500-6
Testing Products for ASTM D6272

Similar to D790 but uses a 4-point setup to create a constant-stress region between the loading noses.
Testing Products for ASTM D638
Tension

Viscoelasticity: Plastics change properties based on speed.

Recommended Machine: 312-25-980
Testing Products for ASTM D6484
Compression

Compression After Impact: Tests how much a hole (damage) reduces the crushing strength of a wing panel.

Recommended Machine: 612-1000-630
Testing Products for ASTM D6641
Compression

Perfect Alignment: Even a 0.1° tilt will cause Euler buckling.

Recommended Machine: 316-300-1130
Testing Products for ASTM D695
Compression

The Buckling Risk: If the specimen is too slender, it will bend instead of compress.

Recommended Machine: 313-50-1200
Testing Products for ASTM D732
Shear (Punch)

Tool Clearance: The gap between the punch and the die must be precisely maintained to avoid burring.

Recommended Machine: 313-50-1200
Testing Products for ASTM D751
Multiple

Burst Pressure: This often uses a Ball Burst fixture (a 1″ steel ball pushed through the fabric).

Recommended Machine: 314-100-1215
