ASTM D2209 Leather Tensile Strength Test Machine

ASTM D2209 – 00(2015) : Standard Test Method for Tensile Strength of Leather

 This test method covers the determination of the load required to rupture a leather test specimen having a ¹/₂-in. (12.7-mm) width. The load to rupture divided by the original unstretched cross-sectional area gives the tensile strength. It may be used for all types of leather that are smooth and firm enough to permit accurate thickness measurements. This test method does not apply to wet blue.
