Fabric Tensile Strength Test
Tensile Strength Test for
Fabric (ISO: 1394-1; 1999)
Tensile strength of fabric
Objective:
To determine the fabric behavior due to tensile strength force.
Principle:
According to the Newton force adding by pulling fabric specimen by moving jaw,
tensile load elongation curve is generated by aiding loading cell of machine
and converts this signal into computer and particular curve is illustrated.
Tools
and equipment: Marking pen, scissor, metallic rods,
C.R.E tensile strength tester.
Procedure:
Tensile
strength test was done to determine maximum breaking force and maximum breaking
elongation either weft or warp directions of woven fabric. When samples
arranging process for this test, each five specimen were cut diagonally either
weft or warp directions. After cutting process each specimens of warp direction
was marked to identify warp and weft specimens in the test. According to the
ISO standard each specimen dimension was taken as 150 mm x 50 mm (±0.5). After
smoothly removed several threads until met straight line and, prepared
specimens were kept minimum 4 hours for conditioning. According to
international standard, chamber temperature was 20 ± 20C and
relative humidity was 65 ±4%. After completion of all above treatment process,
tensile strength test was launched using C.R.E tensile strength testing
machine.
