ASTM F1342 evaluates puncture resistance of protective clothing materials which may include plastics or elastomeric films, coated fabrics, flexible materials, laminates, or textile materials. ASTM F1342 is not intended to measure puncture resistance to all types of punctures encountered using protective clothing material.
What is ASTM F1342?
ASTM F1342 involves a procedure where a puncture probe of specified dimensions is used for puncturing specimens. ASTM F1342 evaluates puncture resistance of protective clothing materials, specifically for puncture forced on specimens perpendicular to material surface. There is no supporting structure under the material specimen.

ASTM F1342 Test Systems
100 Family Electromechanical Universal Test Machine
Most Economical
The 100 Family is the most economical solution but it offers less functionality and flexibility then other systems. The load frame is compact and lightweight which is great if lab table space is limited. Complete system includes controller software, load frame, actuator and grips specifically configured for your biomedical test. 21 CFR compliance software and torsion options are available.
240 Family Electromechanical Universal Test Machine
Best Performance
The 240 Family is the ideal solution for 95% of static biomedical tests and features higher travel and faster speeds compared to traditional universal test machines. The load frame is compact and lightweight which is great if lab space is limited. Complete system includes controller software, load frame and grips specifically configured for your test requirements. 21 CFR compliance software and torsion options are available.
300 Series Electromechanical Universal Test Machine
Most Versatile
The 300 series offers adjustable test space and is a popular choice for static tension and compression tests. These dual column testers are available in both tabletop and floor standing models. 21 CFR compliance software and torsion options are available.
