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)
 |
| Fig: Strip test |
- 5 samples for warp direction
- 5 samples for weft direction
- First taken a sample of (60mmx300)mm and then frayed down to (50mmx300)mm
- Sample is clamped in the jaws
- CRE 500mm per minute loading
- Gauge length 200mm
- Mean breaking force
- Mean elongation at break
 |
| Fig: Grab strength test |
- Sample size: 100x1500mm
- Jaw width – 25mm
- Gauge length- 75mm
- Sample is clamped between the jaw
- Speed is adjusted so then the sample is broken in 20±3 seconds.
- Mean breaking force.
- Mean elongation at break.
