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).
Polymer Orientation

Definition |
| Elongation @ Break |
Tensile elongation corresponding to the point of rupture. |
| Elongation @ Yield |
Tensile elongation corresponding to the point of yield. |
| Tensile Strength @ Break |
Tensile stress corresponding to the point of rupture. |
| Tensile Strength @ Yield |
Tensile stress corresponding to point of yield. |
| Secant Modulus |
Slope of a line drawn from the point of zero strain to a point on the stress strain curve at a specified strain. |
| Film Toughness |
Energy per unit volume absorbed by a specimen up to the point of rupture during a tensile test. The area under the stress strain curve. |
