Purpose:

This document is intended to facilitate calculation of O-Ring tension testing values.

Application:

The calculation of the values for tensile strength, ultimate elongation, and modulus at 100% elongation from raw data obtained on O-Rings is outlined in its essentials in ASTM-D-1414. This document provides tables which simplify these calculations. Notations and symbols used herein are not identical to those used in ASTM D 1414.
