Some Balloon Materials Testing Methods

Item

Title
Some Balloon Materials Testing Methods
Description
Standard and novel test procedures that appear to be appropriate for balloon films are reviewed. The CRA and CRL test methods for axial breaking strength and breaking factor are compared. The apparatus for tensile and tear tests at -80°C is outlined. Current and future tests using biaxial stresses are described, and the projection is made regarding future quantitative tests of toughness at low temperatures.
