ASTM D412 is used to test the tensile properties of rubber and elastomeric materials, primarily measuring:

Test Parameters

• Tensile Strength – The material’s ability to withstand high tensile forces.
• Elongation at Break – The stretching behavior of rubber before rupture.
• Stress-Strain Behavior – The deformation characteristics under different stress levels.

Applications

Tires & Sealing Rings – Ensures reliability and elasticity in high-load environments.
Industrial Rubber Products – Evaluates the strength and durability of transmission belts and hoses.
