Puncture fixtures are used to determine the puncture resistance of plastic films, fabric, geomembranes, and other materials. ADMET puncture fixtures can be customized or customers may choose a puncture fixture designed per a specific test method. If you do not see an applicable puncture fixture below, contact us and we will work with you to design a fixture to your specifications. Read our page on Puncture Testing Essentials for further information on puncture testing, recommended equipment, and the test methods that outline puncture test setups.

FS-PT-ASTM D751 Puncture Fixture
ASTM D751 includes two sections covering burst and puncture testing. Section 18 requires the use of a spherical plunger to determine the bursting strength of the coated fabric sample. Section 22 requires a sharper puncture probe to determine the puncture resistance of the coated fabric. Both tests are run in the compressive direction where the plunger/probe travels down towards the specimen placed in the specimen holding ring of the FS-PT-ASTM D751. The same specimen holding ring is used for both burst and puncture test methods per ASTM D751.
Testing Standards: ASTM D751 Section 18 & Section 22

FS-PT-ASTM D3787 Puncture Fixture
FS-PT-ASTM D3787 includes a 12.7mm (0.5in) radius probe and a 44.45mm (1.75in) diameter specimen holding ring to measure the bursting strength of textiles by performing a constant-rate-of-traverse (CRT) ball burst test. This test method is applicable for textiles or fabrics exhibiting a high degree of ultimate elongation. 20kN and 50kN fixture options are available.
Testing Standard: ASTM D3787
