Silicone rubber feels soft and is also susceptible to cuts and abrasion, having low tear resistance.
2.
Tear resistance of a geomembrane becomes important when it is exposed to high winds or handling stress during installation.
3.
There are various ASTM methods for measuring tear resistance of geomembranes, with most common reports using ASTM D1004.
4.
It is usually evaluated as the tear-yield ratio, the ratio of tear resistance to yield strength.
5.
Wrestling is conducted on a padded mat that must have excellent shock absorption, tear resistance, and compression qualities.
6.
Materials with low tear resistance tend to have poor resistance to hard materials, since hardness is not related to tear resistance ).
7.
Materials with low tear resistance tend to have poor resistance to hard materials, since hardness is not related to tear resistance ).
8.
Notch toughness is a measure of tear resistance, a steel's ability to resist further tearing from a pre-existing notch.
9.
Cordura fabrics are available in a wide range of constructions, weights and aesthetics, including versions designed especially for tear resistance and color retention.
10.
Typical tear resistances show a value of 40 to 45 lb for 60-mil HDPE and 50 to 60 lb for 80-mil HDPE.
