ISO 37 | Plastics and Rubber | Tension Testing
ISO 37 covers the testing of tensile properties of vulcanized and thermoplastic rubbers. The specification describes testing the stress-strain properties of either dumb-bell or ring specimens in a tensile testing machine until rupture.
Prior to conducting ISO 37, it is important to read the entire specification in the relevant ISO publication.

ISO 37 | Plastics and Rubber | Tension Testing
- Prepare specimens as described in the standard.
- Load the sample into a pair of tensile grips and attach your extensometer (if available).
- Begin the test by separating the tensile grips at a rate specified in the standard and run until sample break (rupture).
Calculations:
- Tensile Strength
- Elongation at Break
- Stress at a Given Elongation
- Elongation at a Given Stress
- Stress at Yield
