Énergie de rupture. Les papiers destinés à subir des efforts brutaux, des chocs doivent avoir une bonne capacité d’allongement avant rupture. C'est le cas, par exemple, des krafts pour sacs grande contenance; pour tester leur résistance on les remplit, on les ferme et on les laisse tomber d’une hauteur de plus en plus grande : on note celle pour laquelle le sac éclate. Le papier utilisé à la confection de ces sacs est contrôlé sur un dynamomètre qui enregistre la courbe de la force de traction par rapport à l'allongement de l'éprouvette. 1, record 5, French, - %C3%A9nergie%20de%20rupture

On détermine la résistance à la rupture par traction en mesurant la force nécessaire pour rompre une bande de papier de longueur normalisée, la vitesse de traction étant également spécifiée dans la norme. L'allongement du papier peut être déterminé simultanément. Certains appareils de traction fournissent un diagramme force/allongement et permettent de calculer l'énergie à la rupture, qui est une mesure de la résistance du papier.
