Rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics. Determination of tear strength. Trapezoidal method (five-highest-peak calculation) | Status: Current

1 Scope This document specifies test conditions and the procedure to be followed for determining the tear strength of a trapezoidal specimen of a rubber- or plastics-coated fabric, using a tensile testing machine. This test can be carried out:

• • either on test specimens conditioned in reference atmospheres; or
• • on test specimens which have been subjected to any necessary treatment for the application considered, for example dipping.
