This standard specifies a method to measureThe elongation of a self adhesive tape when it is subjected to a tensile force sufficient to cause it to break.The elongation at break of the adhesive tape is of value as an indication of its uniformity and quality, as well as a rough indication of its ability to conform to curved and irregular surfaces. It is usually determined atThe same time asThe breaking strength.The maximum width of adhesive tape tested byThis method is 25 mm. For adhesive tapes of this width or less,The elongation at break measured corresponds to that as supplied commercially, with factory-cut edges.
