Publication date:   Oct 4, 2000

Scope

This standard defines test conditions and the procedure to be followed for determining the tear strength of a trapezoidal specimen of a rubber- or plastics-coated fabric, using a tensile testing machine. This test may be carried out: - either on test specimens conditioned in reference atmospheres; or- on test specimens which have been subjected to any necessary treatment for the application considered, for example dipping.
