Self-adhesive tapes - Measurement of breaking strength
This standard specifies a method to measure the breaking strength of a self adhesive tape when it is subjected to a tensile force sufficient to cause it to break. The breaking strength of adhesive tape is of value as an indication of its uniformity and quality, and its ability to withstand stresses during application and use. The maximum width of adhesive tape tested by this method is 25 mm. For adhesive tapes of this width or less, the breaking strength measured corresponds to that as supplied commercially, with factory-cut edges.
Klebebänder - Messung der Bruchkraft
Diese Norm beschreibt ein Verfahren zum Messen der Bruchkraft eines Klebebandes,wenn dieses einer Zugkraft ausgesetzt wird, die zum Bruch des Bandes führt. Die Bruchkraft ist wichtig für die Bewertung der Gleichmäßigkeit und Qualität des Klebebandes sowie für seine Eignung, Belastungen bei der Handhabung und in der Anwendung standzuhalten. Mit dieser Methode können Bänder bis zu einer Breite von maximal 25 mm geprüft werden.
Rubans auto-adhésifs - Mesure de la résistance à la rupture
La présente norme européenne prescrit une méthode pour déterminer la résistance à la rupture d'un ruban adhésif quand il est soumis à un effort de traction suffisant pour provoquer sa rupture. La résistance à la rupture d'un ruban adhésif est intéressante comme mesure de son uniformité, de sa qualité et de son aptitude à supporter des efforts au cours de l'application et en service. La largeur maximale du ruban adhésif soumis à cette méthode de mesure est de 25 mm.
