Puncture fixtures — ASTM D4833, D6241, EN 388, and geomembrane, textile, and glove puncture methods.
Puncture fixtures measure resistance to sharp probe penetration on geomembranes, geotextiles, gloves, packaging, and films.
The specimen is clamped in a ring and driven through by a standard probe at controlled speed until failure.
Vector designs and manufactures grips and fixtures for the test standards listed below. Configuration is confirmed for your specimen type and frame capacity.
| Standard | Max. load / force |
|---|---|
| ASTM D4833, GOST R56586, DIN EN ISO 20482 (geomembrane) | Typical 5–50 kN |
| ASTM D3787, D6797, D751, ISO 9073-5 (textile) | Typical 100 N – 2 kN |
| ASTM F1306 (food packaging) | Typical 100–500 N |
