EN 1875-3 Rubber or Plastic Coated Fabrics, Determination of Tear Strength, Part 3: Standard Test for Trapezoid Method

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 1875-3 standard. This standard defines the test conditions and procedure to be followed for determining the tear strength of a trapezoidal sample of rubber or plastic coated fabric using a tensile testing machine.

EN 1875-3 Rubber or Plastic Coated Fabrics, Determination of Tear Strength, Part 3: Standard Test for Trapezoid Method

This test can be performed in the following situations:

  • Either on test specimens conditioned in reference atmospheres;
  • On test specimens that have undergone any treatment necessary for the application under consideration, such as immersion.

Tearing is one of the more common means of destruction for many thin and flexible materials. Knowing the resistance of these materials to such behavior is therefore very important.

The first part describes two methods using a tensile testing machine at a constant strain rate. The second part describes a dynamic method that uses the kinetic energy of a falling pendulum. For these two parts, the tear propagates in a direction parallel to the applied force. The third part uses a trapezoidal test piece in which the tear propagates in a direction perpendicular to the applied force.
