How to Perform ISO 1924-2 Paper and Paperboard Tensile Testing

Home / Testing Standards / ISO 1924-2 Paper and Paperboard Tensile Testing

Summary of Test

ISO 1924-2 is tensile test used to determine the tensile properties of paper and paperboard. It is similar to ASTM D828, but with minor differences in regards to suggested grip geometry and test speed. For consistent results, users should pay careful attention when aligning the specimens in the grips. ADMET software can easily provide all of the required calculations in this test.

Before conducting ISO 1924-2, it is important to read the entire specification in the relevant ISO publication.

Recommended Equipment

Testing Procedure

  1. Prepare and condition the test specimens according to the dimensions and guidance described in the test standard.
  2. Move the grips to the required grip separation and insert the specimen into the grips. Carefully align the specimen in the direction of the applied force and ensure there is no slack in the material.
  3. Apply load to the specimen at the constant rate of grip separation defined in the standard.
  4. Continue test until specimen failure, while ensuring that the specimen does not slip in the jaws or break at the clamping area.

Calculations:

  • Tensile Strength at Break
  • Elongation and/or Strain at Break
  • Tensile Energy Absorption
  • Modulus of Elasticity
