1、Designation:D221100(Reapproved 2021)Standard Test Method forElongation of Leather1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2211;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parenth
2、eses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the elon-gation or stretch characteristics of leather produced by a tensileload.This test method is intended for
3、use on all types of leatherand with all of the breaking load tests.This test method doesnot apply to wet blue.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are

7、men under tension.4.Significance and Use4.1 The elongation measurement may be made at anydesignated load and is expressed as a percentage of the originaldistance between the jaws or between bench marks of theunstretched specimen.The speed of the machine is important.Speeds under or more than 10 6 2
8、in./min(4.2 6 0.8 mm/s)will give variables in the results,thus affecting the reproduc-ibility of the method.The direction relative to the backboneand the width of the test specimen determines the magnitude ofthe elongation.This test method is excellent for development,control,specification acceptanc
