Information on the most widely used ASTM standards within the materials testing industry
Model: UT4016; ISO 13938.1
UT4016 hydraulic type Automatic Fabric Bursting Strength Tester is used test burst strength in a variety of textiles, nonwovens, paper, cardboard, plastics and medical products.
Test principle: the specimen is clamped on an extendable diaphragm, and a compressive liquid pressure is applied under the diaphragm to expand the diaphragm and the specimen. Increase the volume of liquid at a constant rate until the specimen ruptures, measuring the breakout strength and burst expansion.

Standard
ASTM D2210 Standard Test Method for Grain Crack and Extension of Leather by the Mullen Test
ASTM D2210 quantifies two core leather mechanical properties: grain crack resistance (burst pressure when the leather surface cracks under biaxial stretching) and extension/stretch percentage (deformation before grain failure). This method exclusively applies to thin, finished light leathers: shoe uppers, garment leather, glove leather, furniture upholstery leather. It explicitly excludes wet blue chrome-tanned crust leather.
ISO 2758 Paper — Determination of bursting strength
ISO 2758 defines a uniform hydraulic burst test for thin single-layer paper, measuring the maximum uniform hydraulic pressure (kPa) a paper sheet withstands before rupture. It is strictly separated from ISO 2759 for thick solid/corrugated board due to distinct equipment geometry and test parameters.
ISO 2759 Board — Determination of bursting strength.
ISO 2759 defines a uniform hydraulic bursting test method to measure the maximum uniform pressure a solid or corrugated fibreboard can withstand before rupture, with results expressed in kilopascals (kPa).
ISO 3036 Board — Determination of puncture resistance using a pendulum device.
ISO 3036 is an impact test method to quantify the energy required to fully pierce paperboard and corrugated fibreboard via a swinging pendulum triangular pyramid probe, with test results expressed in joules (J).
