ASTM D412 Tensile Strength Tester for Rubber Quality Assurance

Rubber manufacturer produces a variety of materials required by processors for different needs and requirements. They have to produce and process a huge amount of rubber material in a day for end-use manufacturers. They must have no time to check whether the quality is as per the demanding industry or not. Hence, the end-use producer needs to choose the material as per their set standards by checking a few factors in rubber quality. Tensile being the most important factor must be tested using efficient equipment, that makes the process easier and more precise. Through this blog, Pacorr brings their quality testing instruments experts for you to help understand the role of an ASTM D412 Tensile Strength Tester for Rubber Quality Assurance.

Tensile testing in rubber processing units

Rubber is a complex elastic polymeric substance that is made of latex, which may be extracted from tropical plants or produced synthetically. The composition of rubber makes them tough against environmental factors and also allows them to offer great tensile strength. Tensile strength is the ability of a material to get stretched to the maximum limit until it cracks and breaks down to fail. Rubber is naturally made strong but when used in several industries they are often mixed with other materials, and chemicals to process the raw rubber for end use. In this mixing, the rubber may lose its natural tensile strength a bit. Hence, it is important to know beforehand how much ductile the product is and if it fits the set industry requirement. The only solution to this is the precision-based quality assurance through an ASTM D412 Tensile Strength Tester.
