scope:

1.1 This test method describes two procedures for measuring the rigidity of polyolefin film and sheeting.

1.2 Procedure A prescribes a procedure using high-voltage static eliminators and the use of TFE-fluorocarbon-coated plates to overcome the spurious effects of static electricity and friction.

1.3 Procedure B prescribes the use of a fine powder on uncoated plates to achieve a similar effect.

Note 1

Although the two procedures are designed to achieve similar effect, they may not achieve the same results.
