ASTM D828 Test Standard: A Guide to Paper & Paperboard Tensile Testing

ASTM D828 Test Standard: A Guide to Paper & Paperboard Tensile Testing

Introduction to ASTM D828 Test Standard

ASTM D828 is a crucial standard for evaluating the tensile properties of paper and paperboard. Established by ASTM International, this test determines tensile strength, elongation, and energy absorption using constant-rate-of-elongation testing equipment.

Key Properties Measured

  • Tensile Strength at Rupture: Maximum force before breakage.
  • Elongation at Rupture: Degree of stretch before failure.
  • Tensile Energy Absorption: Energy absorbed before rupture.

Grips for ASTM D828 Testing

  • Mechanical Vise Grips: Affordable, manual screw-action clamps with adjustable jaws.
  • Pneumatic Grips: Offer consistent pressure and alignment, ideal for precise testing.

Recommended Universal Testing Machines (UTM)

For ASTM D828, 50N to 2kN UTMs are ideal. The VEW 260E UTM, a single-column desktop machine, offers accurate tensile, compression, and bending tests for various materials.

Test Procedure

  1. Specimen Preparation: Cut and condition specimens per ASTM D828 guidelines.
  2. Insertion & Alignment: Use jigs for proper specimen placement.
  3. Grip Pressure Optimization: Adjust grip pressure for accurate results.
  4. Load Application: Apply force at the specified rate.
  5. Test Completion: Ensure failure occurs away from grip points.

Conclusion

ASTM D828 provides standardized, reliable testing for paper and packaging industries, ensuring compliance with quality control standards in Malaysia and beyond.
