Similar Specifications to ASTM D6797 (Ball-Burst Testing / Puncture ASTM Family)
Direct Burst / Ball Burst Equivalents (Closest Comparisons)
- ASTM D3787 — Ball burst using hydraulic diaphragm
- ASTM D3786 — Diaphragm burst (no ball)
- ASTM D774 — Paper and board burst strength
These represent the traditional bursting strength family, primarily differing in pressure-based vs force-based loading.
UTM-Based Puncture / Penetration (Mechanically Similar to D6797)
- ASTM D4833 — Sharp probe puncture
- ASTM D6241 — Large plunger puncture
- ASTM F1306 — Film puncture resistance
- ASTM D5748 — Film puncture and propagation
These methods align closely with ASTM D6797 in that they:
- Use direct force application via a UTM
- Generate force–displacement data
- Maintain a rigid, well-defined load train
Application-Specific / Advanced Puncture Methods
- ASTM F1342 — Probe puncture for PPE and barrier materials
- ASTM D5494 — Multi-axial puncture loading
- ASTM E643 — Metallic analog to ball burst
These extend puncture testing into specialized materials and loading geometries, while preserving the out-of-plane loading concept.
