ISO 1924-2 — Tensile properties of paper and board (20 mm/min)

← Back to all standards

ISO 1924-2 is the tensile test method for paper and board using a constant rate of elongation of 20 mm/min. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ISO 1924-2 Covers

It determines tensile strength, stretch, and tensile energy absorption of paper and board at a defined elongation rate, the standard tensile method for these materials.

How the Test Is Run

A conditioned strip is gripped and pulled at 20 mm/min while force and elongation are recorded, and tensile strength, stretch at break, and energy absorption are calculated.

Why It Matters

Tensile properties govern runnability and end-use strength of paper; low-slip line grips and controlled conditioning are essential.

Reading the Designation

Cited as ISO 1924-2 with its edition year. Confirm the edition and specimen or conditioning requirements before finalizing setup. To configure a paper testing setup, request a quote.
