Textiles — Tear properties of fabrics
Part 3: Determination of tear force of wing-shaped test specimens (Single tear method)This standard mainly applies to most woven textile fabrics, but can be applicable to fabrics produced by other techniques. The method specifies a procedure to determine the tear strength of textile fabrics using the wing method. A rectangular specimen is cut on the shorter dimension to form “wings”, then cut again in the center of the shorter dimension to form a wing shape. Each wing is inserted into the grip faces and pulled to tear the fabric.
For this test, it is important to have an increased test data rate to ensure the capture a high number of data points. This is because when individual fibers within the fabric fail, the data rate must be fast enough to catch these peaks.
