ISO 13934-1 Textiles - Tensile Properties of Fabrics - Part 1: Determination of Elongation at Maximum and Maximum Force Using the Strip Method

In the ISO 13934-1 standard developed by the International Standards Organization (ISO), a test method is defined to determine the maximum strength and elongation of textile fabrics at maximum strength using a strip method. This test method is mainly applied to woven textile fabrics, including fabrics that exhibit stretch properties provided by the presence of an elastomeric fiber, mechanical or chemical treatment. This test method can also be applied to fabrics produced with different techniques. Normally, this test method is not applicable for geotextiles, non-woven fabrics, coated fabrics, textile-glass woven fabrics and fabrics made from carbon fiber or polyolefin tape yarns.

In this test method, the tests are carried out in a standard atmosphere. The method is limited to the use of constant strain rate testing machines.

This standard is designed to determine specific mechanical properties of textile products using various test methods, generally employing tensile testing machines. Examples include tensile properties, seam tensile properties, tear properties, and seam slippage. For these standards, a test method is accepted to the extent that it is appropriate. Results obtained using one method should not be compared with results obtained using other methods.

For the purposes of this standard,

• Constant spread rate testing machine refers to a tensile testing machine equipped with a fixed gripper and another gripper that moves at a constant speed throughout the test. In this way, the entire test system is free of any deviations.
• The expression strip test refers to the tensile test in which the entire width of the test specimen is held in the jaws of the test machine.
• The indicator length refers to the distance between two active clamping points of a tester.
• The initial length expression refers to the length of a test specimen under specified bias between two active clamping points at the start of certain tests.
• The expression elongation expresses the ratio of the elongation of a test specimen to its initial length.

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 ISO 13934-1 standard, for determining the tensile properties of fabrics, using the strip method at maximum strength and maximum strength. Determination of elongation also provides testing services.
