What is ISO 37 and why is it important?

ISO 37 is an international standard that specifies the method for determining the tensile properties of rubber and elastomers. This standard is crucial for evaluating the mechanical performance of rubber materials under various load conditions. ISO 37 provides important insights into the elasticity, strength and durability of rubber, which is essential in the automotive, construction and consumables industries.

Why choose ISO 37?

By opting for ISO 37 tests, you benefit from:

  • Accurate and reliable results: Get consistent data that meets international quality standards.
  • Insight into elastomeric performance: Get detailed information about the tensile properties of your rubber materials.
  • Improved product development: Use test results to optimize rubber formulations and designs.

How does ISO 37 work?

The testing process includes the following steps:

  1. Sample preparation: rubber samples are cut and prepared according to ISO 37 specifications, ensuring the correct dimensions and conditions.
  2. Tensile test: the test samples are placed in a tensile testing machine, where a controlled and increasing tensile force is applied until the material collapses.
  3. Data collection and analysis: During the test, key parameters such as tensile strength, strain at break and elastic modulus are measured and analyzed to provide insight into the performance of the rubber material.
