D5749-24 – Standard Test Method Technical Guide
📋 Scope and Classification of Reinforced and Plain Gummed Tape
ASTM D5749-24 establishes the standard specification for plain and reinforced paper gummed adhesive tapes used primarily for securing and banding paper products and closing fiberboard boxes. This standard supersedes federal specifications CID A-A-1492, CID A-A-1671, and PPP-T-45. Values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. Per Section 1.5, this specification was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization.
📌 Key Update: The 2024 revision modernizes the requirements and aligns with standardization principles established by the WTO TBT Committee. Users should reference the latest edition to ensure compliance.
⚙️ Test Methods and Referenced Specifications
Conformance to D5749 requires adherence to numerous referenced standards. Conditioning of test specimens follows Practice D685. The tensile properties are determined by Test Method D828. Internal tearing resistance is measured using TAPPI T 414, while basis weight is established per TAPPI T 410. The water resistance of the adhesive bond is tested according to TAPPI UM 575.
