    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Describes a method for determining the (out-of-plane) tearing resistance of paper.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This International Standard specifies a method for determining the (out-of-plane) tearing resistance of paper. It can also be used for boards having a low grammage if the tearing resistance is within the range of the instrument.

    This International Standard does not apply to corrugated fibreboard, but it may be applied to the components of such boards. It is not suitable for determining the cross-direction tearing resistance of highly directional paper (or board).
