ASTM D1922 Propagation Tear Resistance (Elmendorf) for Plastic Film
ASTM D1922 is the test method for the propagation tear resistance of plastic film using the Elmendorf pendulum. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ASTM D1922 Covers
It measures the force to propagate a tear through plastic film and thin sheeting with a pendulum, an index of film toughness.
How the Test Is Run
A pre-slit film specimen is torn by a falling pendulum, and the energy lost gives the propagation tear resistance.
Why It Matters
Tear resistance governs film performance in packaging; a calibrated Elmendorf tester and controlled conditioning are used.
