Standard tensile tests measure how much force it takes to break a material from scratch. But in the real world, rubber often gets scratched or cut first. Are you evaluating a (like NBR, EPDM, or Silicone)

The machine applies a constant rate of separation (typically at a speed of 100 mm/min or 500 mm/min depending on the specific application). As the grips move apart, the precut propagates through the uncut portion of the test piece. The test measures the force required to continuously tear the material.
