Description (English):

ISO 6133:2015 specifies five methods of calculating, after testing, the tear strength and the adhesion strength of vulcanized rubber or fabrics coated with or adhered to rubber or plastics. The results are calculated by determining the median and range of peak values from a graphical plot of force versus time recorded during the test. A trace for an adhesion strength test or tear strength test can show few or many force peaks, depending on the material under investigation. The choice of the method of calculation depends on the number of peaks in the trace. The purpose of this International Standard is to obtain more uniformity in the evaluation and presentation of test results. It is applicable only, however, when specified in another International Standard, i.e. a method of test or a specification. For other details, such as apparatus, test piece preparation, conditioning, procedure, etc., requirements given in the relevant International Standard shall apply. NOTE In certain cases, the methods of analysis given might not be adequate, for example, for peak values showing a trend with time. In cases where the minimum force values are of interest, it is possible to use the same methods of calculation as when determining from a range of peak values.

Abstract

Overview

ISO 6133:2015 - "Rubber and plastics - Analysis of multi-peak traces obtained in determinations of tear strength and adhesion strength" - defines standardized methods for post-test analysis of force-versus-time traces produced during tear and adhesion tests on vulcanized rubber, rubber-coated fabrics or plastics. The standard specifies five calculation methods (A–E) to determine the median peak force and range of peak values from multi-peak traces, promoting uniform evaluation and presentation of test results.

Key topics and requirements

Scope: Applies to the analysis step only and is to be used when referenced by another test method or specification (e.g., a method of test for tear or adhesion).
Five analysis methods (A–E):
- Method A: For traces with fewer than five peaks - determine median, range, minimum and maximum.
- Method B: For 5–20 peaks - use central 80% of the trace and compute median and range.
- Method C: For >20 clearly defined peaks - sample 9 evenly spaced peak values and compute median and range.
- Method D: For undulating traces where peaks are not distinct - report the arithmetic mean (midpoint between max and min).
- Method E: For very dense peaks (too close for counting) - report arithmetic mean as midpoint of highest and lowest peaks.
Peak definition and validity:
- A peak is a point where slope changes from positive to negative (instantaneous maximum).
- A peak is valid only if the drop to the following minimum exceeds 2% of the maximum force.
Signal handling: When using computerized analysis, filter the signal (e.g., impose minimum drop percentage and minimum time between peaks) to avoid spurious small peaks.
Limitations: Methods may be inadequate for traces showing a clear trend over time; same methods can be applied when minimum force values are of interest.

Applications

Quality control and R&D in rubber and plastics manufacturing for evaluating tear strength and adhesion strength.
Test laboratories reporting standardized, comparable results of force-time traces.
Product specification verification where an internationally consistent method of analyzing multi-peak traces is required.

Who should use this standard

Materials and test engineers, laboratory technicians, QA professionals, and standards bodies involved in mechanical testing of rubber and rubber-coated fabrics.
Organizations that need consistent post-processing rules for force vs time traces to ensure comparability of tear and adhesion data.

Trace-analysis report (required items)

Reports should include: reference to ISO 6133, the relevant test, the chosen method (A–E), median peak (or mean for D/E), range of peak values, and date of calculation.

Related standards

ISO 6133 is intended to be referenced by other ISO test methods and specifications for tear and adhesion testing. It was developed by ISO/TC 45 (Rubber and rubber products), SC 2 (Testing and analysis).
