ASTM D5734 — Tearing Strength of Nonwoven Fabrics (Elmendorf / Falling-Pendulum)
ASTM D5734 is the test method for the tear-propagation resistance of plastic film using a trouser-tear specimen. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ASTM D5734 Covers
It measures the average force to propagate a tear along plastic film with a trouser-shaped specimen pulled in a tensile machine.
How the Test Is Run
The two legs of a trouser film specimen are gripped and pulled apart at a controlled rate, and the force to propagate the tear is recorded.
Why It Matters
Trouser tear reflects tear propagation in films; grips and a tensile frame with a suitable trace are used.
