ASTM D5170 Fasteners T-peel Test Machine

ASTM-D5170 – Standard Test Method for Peel Strength (‘T’ Method) of Hook and Loop Touch Fasteners

This test method covers the measurement of the peel strength of hook and loop touch fasteners using a recording constant-rate-of-extension tensile testing machine (CRE).

This test method gives a measure of a key property of hook and loop touch fasteners which is of interest to users of such devices. This is a means of determining the resistance to separation when forces are applied normal to the line of separation of the fastener.
