ASTM D 7744/D 7744M

1.1 The test method covers the tensile testing of high performance polyethylene tapes. The method includes testing procedure only and includes no specifications or tolerances. 1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard. 1.3 This standard includes the following test methods: Section Breaking Strength (Force) 11 Breaking Tenacity 12 Breaking Toughness 17 Elongation at Break 13 Force at Specified Elongation (FASE) 14 Linear Density 10 Modulus 15 Work-to-Break 16 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
