Description

TAPPI T404 – Tensile Breaking Strength and Elongation of Paper and Paperboard (Using Pendulum-Type Tester)

This method describes a procedure, using pendulum-type equipment, for determining two tensile breaking properties of paper and paperboard, namely, the force per unit width required to break a specimen (tensile strength) and the percentage elongation at breat (elongation). This procedure is applicable to all types of paper and board (excluding corrugated board) within the limitations of the instruments used. This procedure is not suitable for the determination of the elastic properties of paper and paperboard.
