ISO 37 Rubber Tensile Stress–Strain Properties Testing

← Back to all standards

ISO 37 is the test method for the tensile stress-strain properties of vulcanized rubber and thermoplastic elastomers. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ISO 37 Covers

It determines tensile strength, elongation at break, and stress at defined elongations for rubber, the international basis for elastomer tensile acceptance.

How the Test Is Run

A dumbbell or ring specimen is pulled at a high, controlled speed with elongation measured over the gauge length, and the tensile properties are recorded.

Why It Matters

Rubber tensile properties characterize compound quality and cure; grips for soft, high-elongation material and long travel are essential.
