ASTM D828 covers procedures for determining tensile properties of paper and paperboard.The tensile properties measured in this test method are fundamental properties associated with the manufacture, or end use, or both, of paper and paper products. They may be influenced by, or indicative of the type fibers used or the treatment of the fibers, or both, in a particular paper. They may also be influenced by or indicative of specific manufacturing procedures used in producing a specific paper or paper product. Likewise, paper converting operations may significantly impact properties measured using this test method, and this test method may be used to measure and understand such effects.
By means of our tensile testing expertise and modular product design, we will help find the solution that is right for you. Give our test engineers a call today for help configuring the best test machine and accessories according to ASTM D828.
