Tensile Strength:
Test to determine the breaking strength and elongation of most textile fabrics. Not recommended for knit fabrics or fabrics with high stretch value. To determine tensile strength of fabric two type of test are done. They are:
Strip Test (British Standard)
Grab Test (US standard)
Sample Preparation:
5 samples for warp direction
5 samples for weft direction
First taken a sample of (60mmx300)mm and then frayed down to (50mmx300)mm
Test Procedure:
Sample is clamped in the jaws
CRE 500mm per minute loading
Gauge length 200m
Test Result:
Mean breaking force
Mean elongation at break
