ASTM D624 is the test method for the tear strength of conventional vulcanized rubber and thermoplastic elastomers. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ASTM D624 Covers
It measures the force to tear rubber using specimen shapes such as the trouser, crescent, and angle (nick) specimens, characterizing tear resistance.
How the Test Is Run
A rubber tear specimen is pulled in a tensile machine at a controlled rate until it tears, and the tear strength is calculated from the peak force and thickness.
Why It Matters
Tear strength governs rubber durability against cutting and tearing; grips and a tensile frame suited to elastomers are used.
