ASTM D624: Tear Strength Testing of Rubber and Elastomers
ASTM D624 is a common test method used to determine the tear strength of conventional vulcanized rubber and thermoplastic elastomers. Due to the specimen shapes often used, this test is sometimes called a trouser, angle, or crescent test. This video is intended to introduce you to the basic elements of an ASTM D624 test and will provide an overview of the testing equipment, software, and specimens needed.
