Summary of Test
ASTM D3787 is a test method specific to textiles that demonstrate significant ultimate elongations. The test determines the bursting strength of textiles by exerting a force on the clamped material with a spherical plunger until the material breaks.
Before conducting ASTM D3787, it is important to read the entire specification in the relevant ASTM publication.
Recommended Equipment
Testing Procedure
- Prepare the test specimens as described in the test method, usually five specimens per material being tested. Follow procedures for conditioning the specimens.
- Place the test specimen into the ring clamp, and fasten securely. There should be no tension in the fabric.
- Apply a force to the specimen with the spherical plunger at the constant rate of speed noted in the test standard.
- Continue the application of the force until the specimen bursts, and record the load at burst.
