The testing of fabrics offers a comprehensive review of the various tests that can be performed on fabrics. [20] Fabric testing includes measurements such as fabric weight, fabric width, shrinkage testing, colour fastness to washing, fastness to light, pilling, tearing and bursting strength, etc.
Tensile testing, also known as tension testing, [1] is a fundamental materials science and engineering test in which a sample is subjected to a controlled tension until failure. Properties that are directly measured via a tensile test are ultimate tensile strength , breaking strength , maximum elongation and reduction in area. [ 2 ]
The test method evaluates the thermal resistance and water vapor permeability of fabrics, which bear on the garment's comfort. [115] [116] ISO 11092:2014 (the test for physiological effects — Test for measuring thermal resistance and water-vapor resistance) [117] ASTM F1868 (test for measuring thermal and evaporative resistance) [118]
The ultimate tensile strength of a material is an intensive property; therefore its value does not depend on the size of the test specimen.However, depending on the material, it may be dependent on other factors, such as the preparation of the specimen, the presence or otherwise of surface defects, and the temperature of the test environment and material.
KES is composed of four different machines on which a total of six tests can be performed: [2] Tensile & shear tester – tensile, shear; Pure bending tester – pure bending; Compression tester – compression; Surface tester – surface friction and roughness
Fabric weight is measured in grams per square metre or g/m 2 (also abbreviated as GSM). GSM is the metric measurement of the weight of a fabric—it is a critical parameter for any textile product. The weight may affect density, thickness and many physical properties of the fabric, such as strength.
A proper seam will be able to carry the load requirements for the structure. The seam area should be stronger than the original coated fabric when testing for tensile strength. The base fabric's tensile strength is determined by the size and strength (tenacity) of the yarns and the number of yarns per linear inch or meter. The larger the yarn ...
Hydraulic Bulge Test (HBT) is a method of biaxial tensile testing. It used to determine the mechanical properties such as Young’s moduli, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and strain-hardening properties of sheet material like thin films.
