Test Method: SATRA TM130

Breakage of plastic lasts in bending test

January 1996

SCOPE

This method is intended to determine the risk of a last material breaking during shoe manufacture. The method is applicable to all plastic last materials.

PRINCIPLE

A notched test specimen is subjected to three point loading in a tensile machine until it breaks or bends without breaking. If breaking occurs the breaking force is determined. If required, the force per unit deformation is determined as a measure of rigidity.
