ASTM D828: Tensile Testing of Paper and Paperboard in Malaysia

ASTM D828: Tensile Testing of Paper and Paperboard in Malaysia

ASTM D828 is an international standard used to evaluate the tensile properties of paper and paperboard. It provides guidelines for conducting tensile tests using constant-rate-of-elongation (CRE) equipment.

Key Testing Components

  • Mechanical Vise Grips: Cost-effective and versatile.
  • Pneumatic Grips: Adjustable for precise alignment.
  • Universal Testing Machines (UTMs): Machines with a capacity of 50N–2kN are ideal for this test.

ASTM D828 Testing Procedure

  1. Specimen Preparation: Follow the specified dimensions and conditioning requirements.
  2. Specimen Alignment: Ensure proper placement within the grips.
  3. Grip Pressure Optimization: Adjust pressure settings for accurate results.
  4. Load Application: Apply a load at a constant separation rate.
  5. Test Completion: Continue until specimen failure.

Measurements in ASTM D828 Testing

  • Tensile Strength at Rupture: Maximum force before breaking.
  • Elongation at Rupture: Percentage of length increase before failure.
  • Tensile Energy Absorption: Energy required to break the specimen.

This standard is widely used in Malaysia’s paper and packaging industry to ensure quality and durability.
