The force required to tear completely across a specifically nicked rubber test specimen or right angle test specimen, by elongating at a specific rate.
The ability of a material to resist the enlargement of a nick or cut, when tension is applied to the damaged specimen. Normally, this is expressed as "pounds per inch thickness".
The ability of a tape to resist tearing.
A material’s ability to withstand tearing. The test is performed by placing stress on an area of the material where a flaw is located. Tear Resistance is expressed in psi per inch width or kilonewton per meter width.
The force required to tear material, measured in PSI, when concentrated on a small area of the material. Quality composition shingles have superior tear resistance.
The load required to tear a material when the stress is concentrated on a small area of the specimen by the introduction of a prescribed flaw. Expressed in pounds force (N) or pounds per lineal inch.
Resistance to growth of a cut or nick when tension is applied to the cut specimen. Commonly expressed as "pounds per inch thickness".
Resistance to growth of a nick or cut in a test piece when tension is applied. Given in pounds per inch or Newton per millimeter.
The load required to tear a material when the stress is concentrated on a small area of the specimen by the introduction of a prescribed flaw. It's expressed in Newton or pounds per linear cm or inch.
The ability of a film to resist the propagation of a tear.
The resistance to growth of a nick or cut when tension is applied to the cut specimen. (ASTM D-624).
(1) A measure of the stress needed to continue rupturing the elastomeric sheet, usually after a cut has been initiated in the sheet; (2) The load required to tear a material, when the stress is concentrated on a small area of the material by the introduction of a prescribed flaw or notch. Expressed in psi (pounds force) per inch width or kN/m (kilonewton per meter width).
The ability of the shrink wrap film to resist zippering or propagation of a tear.
The measure of the ability of a material to resist tearing or being pulled apart or lacerated upon when being subjected to a tearing force.
The resistance to growth of a nick or cut when is applied to a test specimen. (ASTM D-624.) Expressed as pounds per lineal inch.
The resistance of a material to a force acting to initiate and then propagate a failure at the edge of a test specimen.
The resistance of a film to be torn. This is measured by Elmenforf Tear testing, and is measured as the force required totear a sample in the MD or TD direction.
The ability of a material to withstand tension without growth of a cut or nick in the seal.
