Puncture Fixture for Packaging Materials
This fixture is comprised of a lower frame with a clamping mechanism that attaches to the base of the testing system, while a probe attaches to the load cell on the moving crosshead. The probe is then moved onto the specimen at a low rate of travel until failure occurs. Common results from these tests are maximum force, force at break, penetration distance, and energy to break.
Simple puncture fixture with clearly specified dimensions.
Upper fitting: Type O (12 mm connection with 6 mm clevis pin)
Lower fitting: Type D (1.25 in connection with 1/2 in clevis pin)
