1. Scope
1.1 These test methods cover procedures used to evaluate the tensile (tension) properties of vulcanized thermoset rubbers and thermoplastic elastomers. These methods are not applicable to ebonite and similar hard, low elongation materials. The methods appear as follows:
| Test Method A—Dumbbell and Straight Section Specimens |
| Test Method B—Cut Ring Specimens |
NOTE 1— These two different methods do not produce identical results.
