Background

The ASTM D882 method, a standard typically used to assess the tensile properties of thin, plastic materials, utilizes grips to pull a sample in tension until it fails. This allows different tensile properties, such as Young’s Modulus, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation to be evaluated. Manufacturers of unconventional products often want to know these same metrics and wish to conduct those tests with the TA.XTPlus Texture Analyzer, Exponent software, TA-96BW and TA-96DWG grips. This study identifies important factors to consider when applying D882 methods to highly irregular products.
