Test specimens should have a width to thickness ratios of at least 8:1. Two sets of specimens are tested for anisotropic materials, the first set parallel to the direction of polymer orientation (MD - machine direction) and the second set perpendicular to the direction of polymer orientation (TD - transverse direction).
