Tear & Strength

BS EN ISO 139: 2005 – Textiles, Standard Atmospheres for Conditioning and Testing.

THS react to customer demand, and test fabrics for use within specific industries. Rolling out a large programme of product testing, this includes tensile and tear strength testing. A unique testing programme for THS to undertake, away from the stringent fire standards, but when THS fabrics are to be situated within explosive, high-tension, or high-stress applications, including clothing applications, we have tests to back it up.

Tensile strength and tear resistance tests are run for a minimum 24 hours at 65+/-4%, relative humidity, 20+/-2’c

BS EN ISO 13934-1: 1999 – tensile strength in the warp and weft of the fabric.

BS EN ISO 13937-4: 2000 – tear resistance, torn across the warp and weft.

BS EN ISO 4764-1:2003 METHOD A – Tongue tear

BS EN ISO 4764-1:2003 METHOD B – Trouser tear

THS have tested 5 fabrics to the various tensile and tear standards, including polyesters and wire reinforced E-glass fabrics.
