Information on the most widely used ASTM standards within the materials testing industry
ASTM D1004
Film/ thin plastic sheeting tear fixture ASTM D1004, vise grip or self-tightening roller grips are the most popular for this application and the least expensive. They can be provided with a rubber faced surface to measure the tear resistance strength of flexible plastic film and sheeting.
ASTM D1004 test method focuses on the tear resistance of flexible plastic film and sheeting at very low speed test rates of 51 mm/min (2 in/min). The test method uses force to initiate tearing.
