Puncture Resistance Testing Equipment

Puncture resistance testing is a category of testing standards that focus on measuring the ability of a sample, usually film, rubber, or paper to withstand being ruptured by a probe when force is applied at a constant speed. In most cases a specially designed test jig is required to properly secure the sample for testing. It should also be noted that the design of the test probe may vary from standard to standard. A common test procedure in the medical field is a puncture test to determine the sharpness of a needle, syringe, or other probe. United offers a wide variety of equipment, including puncture test jigs and probes, that will enable you to perform accurate and repeatable puncture resistance testing.

Puncture Testing Universal Testing Systems

ADMET universal testing systems equipped with a puncture test fixture are capable of determining the puncture resistance of materials such as plastics, films, fabrics, geomembranes, and related products. Puncture testing primarily involves tear and stiffness and measures the resistance of a test specimen to puncture. ADMET offers a selection of puncture fixtures with varying probe and clamp sizes designed according to many ASTM and ISO test standards.

Common puncture testing definitions and keywords include:

  • Puncture resistance: The resisting force to penetration or puncture. Puncture resistance measurements are expressed in force units.
  • Puncture strength: The maximum stress a specimen can withstand before it exhibits failure by a penetrating or puncturing object. Puncture strength measurements are expressed in force per unit area.

Common puncture testing standards include:
