Burst Strength – Probe Method
A probe is traversed through the specimen until it ruptures.
Test Procedure
An area of the sample of the prosthesis to be tested is clamped over a 10 mm diameter orifice by means of a flat annular clamp ring. A 10 mm cylindrical probe with a hemispherical head is traversed through the specimen until it ruptures. A tensile testing machine with a constant rate of traverse and with an accuracy of ± 5 % is used.
