ISO 12625-4 — Tensile strength, stretch, and tensile energy absorption for tissue

← Back to all standards

ISO 12625-4 is the test method for the tensile strength, stretch at maximum force, and tensile energy absorption of tissue paper and tissue products. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ISO 12625-4 Covers

It applies tensile testing to soft, low-strength tissue, addressing the gentle handling and sensitive force measurement these delicate products need.

How the Test Is Run

A tissue strip is gripped with low pressure and pulled at a controlled rate, and tensile strength, stretch at maximum force, and energy absorption are recorded.

Why It Matters

Tissue tensile properties define softness-strength balance and converting performance; sensitive load cells and gentle grips are essential.
