ASTM F1306 - Puncture Test Fixture

In this ASTM F1306 plastic film puncture test demonstration, we show how flexible barrier films are prepared and secured for testing. This standard measures the slow rate penetration resistance of packaging materials, ensuring they can withstand real-world handling without tearing or puncturing.

The ASTM F1306 puncture fixture connects to a universal testing machine using a clevis pin. The film specimen is tightened into the fixture, and the probe—designed with a specific radius per the standard—is used to puncture the material at a controlled rate. This simple setup delivers consistent, reliable data for quality control and material comparison.
