Determination of tensile properties A.1 General The tensile properties of foldable products shall be tested in accordance with EN 12311-1 with the following modifications. A.2 Apparatus Tensile testing machine in accordance with EN 12311-1. A.3 Sampling Test samples shall be taken in accordance with EN 13416. A.4 Preparation of test specimens For the purpose of a complete tensile test, two sets of test specimens are to be prepared: one set of five for the longitudinal direction and one set of five for the transverse direction. Test specimens shall be cut from a test piece not closer than 100 mm to the edge of the sheet, with the aid of a template, or die cutter, to provide rectangular test specimens measuring (100,0 ± 0,5) mm wide by a length of at least 200 mm + (2 × gripping length), the longer direction being the test direction. Any non-permanent surface layer or provisional protection sheet shall be removed. Test specimens shall be conditioned for at least 20 h at a temperature of (23 ± 2) °C and relative air humidity in the range 30 % to 70 % before testing. A.5 Procedure The 100 mm wide test specimen shall be folded and joined in the middle as shown in Figure A.1 and tightly clamped in the tensile test machine taking care that the axes of the specimen and grips are correctly aligned. The clear distance between grips shall be (200 ± 1) mm. The test specimen shall be arranged concentrically. A pre-load of maximum 5 N shall be applied before the start of the test to take out any slack in the test specimen. The folded edges shall meet in the middle of the sheet without overlapping. The tolerance of the deviation from the middle shall not exceed ± 1 mm. SIST EN 13859-1:2005
Key l gripping length Figure A.1 — Folding of a test specimen A.6 Expression and evaluation of results Determine from the force and distance recorder, or from the data registered, the maximum force and the corresponding elongation calculated from the separation of the tensile testing machine grips (or extensiometer) and expressed as a percentage of the original gauge length. Disregard any test result where the test specimen breaks within 10 mm from the grips or when it slips by mor
