I am in the process of developing a repeatable test standard for testing seals of 1.5-2.0 mil LDPE. These seals are manufactured with a hot press and have a tendency to be variable if the manufacturing process is deviated from. In thinking through the development of the test standard, it appears as though suspending a sample in a fixture and attaching a weight to the opposite end will allow me to perform a "snap" test by dropping the weight in a controlled manner.
My questions are:
-Is there a current ASTM standard (I've searched with zero results) that might reference a test similar to this?
-In application, is the "snap" test the most repeatable test that could be conducted?
-I will be required to test samples along a radius, will a deviation in setup or methodology be required?
As always, time is of the essence since they wanted this yesterday. Thanks in advance for all of your help
