Introduction to ASTM D828
The methods for figuring out the tensile characteristics of paper and paperboard are outlined in ASTM D828. This standard covers the use of tensile testing apparatus with a constant rate of elongation that may be manually or computer-controlled and that can be used in a vertical or horizontal orientation. With the exception of integrated corrugated board, this approach may be used with a variety of paper, paperboard, paper products, and related materials that fall within the measuring parameters of the apparatus. MaTestLab is one of the best testing service providers, with the best network of testing laboratories in the USA to carry out ASTM D828 tests for our clients. ASTM D828 helps with performance evaluation and quality assessment by offering insightful information about the mechanical behavior and robustness of paper and paperboard products.
ASTM D828 Test Methods
| Apparatus Setup | The apparatus setup entails adjusting clamping pressure and aligning the grips perpendicular to the direction of the applied force. |
| Measurements Methods | The specimen is stretched continuously until it ruptures to find the various properties. |
ASTM D828 Specimens
| Specimen Details | ASTM D828 test specimens must be devoid of any irregularities, such as creases or holes. |
| Specimen Preparation | From each test unit, ten specimens are cut in the two main directions of the paper. |
| Specimen Dimensions | To fit within the grips, standard test specimens are around 254 mm long and 25.4 mm broad. |
