What is ASTM standard for tensile test of fabric?

 

The ASTM D5034 standard provides guidelines for conducting the tensile test using a grab method. In this test, a specimen of the fabric is held between two clamps, and a force is applied until the fabric specimen breaks. The test measures the breaking strength (maximum force applied before the fabric breaks) and elongation (the percentage increase in length of the fabric at the breaking point) of the fabric.

 

The test results obtained using ASTM D5034 provide valuable information about the fabric's ability to withstand pulling or stretching forces. These properties are important for determining the fabric's suitability for various applications, such as apparel, home textiles, and industrial uses.

 

As with any standard test method, it is essential to follow the specific instructions outlined in ASTM D5034 to ensure accurate and reliable test results. This includes the preparation of test specimens, the selection of appropriate testing equipment, and adherence to the specified testing conditions and procedures.
