Tensile Testing of Thin Plastic Sheeting - ASTM D882

ASTM D882 covers the determination of tensile properties of plastics in the form of thin sheeting, including film less than 1.0 mm (0.04 in.) in thickness.

Tensile properties determined by ASTM D882 are of value for the identification and characterization of materials for control and specification purposes.

Tensile properties may vary with specimen thickness, method of preparation, speed of testing, type of grips used, and manner of measuring extension.
