BS EN ISO 4674-2:1998

Rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics. Determination of tear resistance. Ballistic pendulum method | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This part of this ISO 4674 describes a method for the determination of tear resistance based on the action of an active force applied to a notched test piece. The test may be carried out on:

• — test pieces that have been conditioned in a
• — standard atmosphere, or
• — test pieces that have undergone pre-treatment, e.g. water immersion.

The results obtained by this method are not to be compared with those obtained by methods involving constant rate of tear.
