AASTMT IC Egypt
AASTMT Leather Technology Center offers the following tests:
| (1) | |
| Test name | Leather - Physical and Mechanical Tests - Determination of Thickness |
| Standard number | ISO 2589:2016(E), IULTCS/IUP 4:2016(E) |
| Scope | Determining the thickness of leather. This method is applicable to all types of leather of any tannage. The measurement is valid for both the whole leather and a test sample. |
| (2) | |
| Test name | Leather - Physical and Mechanical Tests - Determination of Apparent density and mass per unit area |
| Standard number | ISO 2420:2017(E), IULTCS/IUP 5:2017(E) |
| Scope | Determining the apparent density and mas per unit area of leather. It is applicable to all leathers. |
| (3) | |
| Test name | Leather - Physical and Mechanical Tests - Determination of tensile strength and percentage extension |
| Standard number | ISO 3376:2011(E), IULTCS/IUP 6:2011(E) |
| Scope | Determining the tensile strength, elongation at a specified load and elongation at break of leather. It is applicable to all types of leathers. |
| (4) | |
| Test name | Leather - Physical and Mechanical Tests - Determination of tear load - Single edge tear |
| Standard number | ISO 3377-1:2011(E), IULTCS/IUP 40-1:2011(E) |
| Scope | Determining the tear strength of leather using a single edge tear. Sometimes is described as a trouser tear. It is applicable to all types of leather |
| (5) | |
| Test name | Leather - Physical and Mechanical Tests - Determination of tear load - Double edge tear |
| Standard number | ISO 3377-2:2016(E), IULTCS/IUP 8:2016(E) |
| Scope | Determining the tear strength of leather using a double edged tear. Sometimes is described as a Baumann tear. It is applicable to all types of leather |
| (6) | |
| Test name | Leather - Physical and Mechanical Tests - Measurement of stitch tear resistance |
| Standard number | ISO 23910:2019(E), IULTCS/IUP 44:2019(E) |
| Scope | Determining the stitch tear resistance of leather. It can be used on all leathers but it is particularly suitable for leathers over 1.2 mm in thickness. |
| (7) | |
| Test name | Leather - Test for adhesion of finish |
| Standard number | ISO 11644:2009(E), IULTCS/IUP 44: 2009(E) |
| Scope | Measuring the adhesion of the finish to leather or the adhesion between two adjacent layers of finish. The method is valid for all finished leathers with a smooth surface that can be bonded to an adherent plate without the adhesive penetrating into the finish. Preliminary experiments might be necessary to determine whether these conditions are met. This test method is valid for finished leathers with a finish-coat thickness of at least 15 µm. |
| (8) | |
| Test name | Leather - Determination of flex resistance - Flexometer method |
| Standard number | ISO 5402-1:2017(E), IULTCS/IUP 20:2017(E) |
| Scope | Determining the wet or dry flex resistance of leather and finishes applied to leather. It is applicable to all types of flexible leather below 3.0 mm in thickness. |
| (9) | |
| Test name | Footwear - Test Methods for upper and lining - Flex resistance |
| Standard number | ISO 17694:2016(E) |
| Scope | Determining the flex resistance of uppers and lining irrespective of the material in order to assess the suitability for the end use. |
| (10) | |
| Test name | Footwear - Test methods for uppers and lining - Water vapor permeability and absorption |
| Standard number | ISO 17699:2003(E) |
| Scope | Specifying two test methods for assessing, respectively, the water vapor absorption of uppers or complete upper assembly irrespective of the material, in order to assess the suitability for the end use. |
| (11) | |
| Test name | Leather - Physical and Mechanical Tests - Determination of water absorption by capillary action (wicking) |
| Standard number | ISO 19074:2015(E), IULTCS/IUP 57:2015(E) |
| Scope | Determining the rate of absorption of water by capillary action or wicking in leathers. Applicable to all types of leather. |
| (12) | |
| Test name | Leather - Physical and Mechanical Tests - Determination of water vapor permeability |
| Standard number | ISO 14268:2012(E), IULTCS/IUP 15:2012(E) |
| Scope | Determining of water vapor permeability of leather and provides alternative methods of sample preparation. |
| (13) | |
| Test name | Leather - Physical and Mechanical Tests - Determination of water vapor absorption |
| Standard number | ISO 17229:2016(E), IULTCS/IUP 42:2016(E) |
| Scope | Determining the water vapor absorption of leather. The method is applicable for all leathers but is particularly relevant for leathers intended for footwear uppers and linings. |
