ISO 37 describes a method for the determination of the tensile stress-strain properties of vulcanized and thermoplastic rubbers. The properties which can be determined are tensile strength, elongation at break, stress at a given elongation, elongation at a given stress, stress at yield and elongation at yield. The measurement of stress and strain at yield applies only to some thermoplastic rubbers and certain other compounds.
Equipment required
Universal testing machine in compliance with ISO 5893. The machine shall be capable of performing the test at rates of traverse of 100mm/min, 200 mm/min, and 500 mm/min. By means of our rubber testing expertise and modular product design, we will help find the testing solution that is right for you. Give one of our application engineers a call today for help with creating the best budget and testing plan according to ISO 37.
Recommended Test Machine
Forces up to 5 kN (1,125 lbf)
Low force tabletop systems
