In the Fiat-Lancia 7-M8601 standard, published jointly by Fiat automobile company and its affiliate Lancia automobile company, a test method is defined for determining the tensile strength of textile mats and driver panel coverings made of robust composite insulation material used in the interiors of automobiles.
Car mats used in the automotive industry are generally made from synthetic fibers and composite insulation materials. Car mats made from a synthetic rubber base with nylon fibers are the most common. Properties such as waterproofing, as well as their ability to trap dirt and dust, contribute to their popularity. Mats with a rubber-like structure are lightweight and easy to bend. Knowing the material properties is crucial for determining the appropriate parameters for shaping the mats. These properties include tensile strength and Poisson's ratio (the ratio of the absolute values of axial and lateral strains), void holding force , and similar shaping parameters.
The main properties of composites as a class of materials are: high strength, high modulus, low density, excellent resistance to fatigue, creep, creep rupture, corrosion and wear, and low coefficient of thermal expansion.
Composite materials are multifunctional materials with unprecedented mechanical and physical properties that are tailored to meet the requirements of a particular application. Composite mats show great resistance to abrasion, corrosion and exposure to high temperatures.
Robust and composite materials are also preferred in the driver panel. The Fiat-Lancia 7-M8601 standard specifies the requirements for insulated composite materials used in both floor mats and the driver's panel, and also provides a procedure for determining the tensile strength of this material.
Ultimate tensile strength is the highest force a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking. In brittle materials the ultimate tensile strength is close to the yield point, whereas in ductile materials the ultimate tensile strength is higher.
Our organization, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, within the scope of Fiat-Lancia 7-M8601 standard, textile mats made of robust composite insulation material and driver panel coatings It also provides testing services to determine its strength.
