ISO 34-1 is the test method for the tear strength of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubber using trouser, angle, and crescent specimens. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ISO 34-1 Covers
It measures the force to tear rubber with several specimen geometries, giving tear strength for elastomer specification and development.
How the Test Is Run
A rubber tear specimen is pulled at a controlled rate until it tears, and the tear strength is calculated from the force and thickness.
Why It Matters
Tear strength governs rubber durability; grips and a tensile frame suited to elastomers are used.
Reading the Designation
Cited as ISO 34-1 with its edition year. Confirm the edition and specimen or fixture requirements before finalizing setup. To configure a testing setup, request a quote.
Related Standards
ISO 34-2 uses small (Delft) specimens and ASTM D624 is the ASTM rubber tear method.
