ASTM D412 Tensile Test Methods for Vulcanized Rubber & Thermoplastic Elastomers

ASTM D412 · ASTM standard

ASTM D412 is the set of test methods for the tensile properties of vulcanized (thermoset) rubber and thermoplastic elastomers. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ASTM D412 Covers

It determines tensile strength, elongation at break, and stress at given elongations for rubber, the core mechanical properties for elastomer specification and quality control.

How the Test Is Run

A dumbbell or ring specimen is pulled at a high, controlled speed with elongation measured over the gauge length, and tensile strength and elongation at break are recorded.

Why It Matters

Rubber tensile properties define material quality and cure state; grips that hold soft, high-elongation material without slip and long travel are essential.
