The ASTM D1682 test provides test methods for determining the breaking load and elongation of textile fabrics. The test methods included in this standard are: the torn strip method and the cut strip method. The full name of this standard is as follows: ASTM D1682 Standard test methods for breaking the load and elongation of textile fabrics.
Tear or break strength is defined as the force required to initiate and sustain a fabric that tears in the weft or warp direction under certain conditions. A tear in a fabric or garment usually occurs gradually along a line. Various methods are used to measure tear strength. For example, bilingual tear test, trapezoidal tear test (ASTM D5587), and single tongue tear test (ASTM D2661, BS 4303).
The ASTM D1682 standard was withdrawn in 1992. Later, this standard was replaced by the following two standards:
ASTM D5034-09 Standard test method for tensile strength and elongation of textile fabrics (grab test)
ASTM D5035-11 Standard test method for tensile strength and elongation of textile fabrics (strip method)
Grip and modified grip test methods are presented in ASTM D5034-09 to determine the tensile strength and elongation of many textile fabrics. While the grip test method can be applied to woven, nonwoven and felt fabrics, the modified grip test method is primarily used for woven fabrics.
In the ASTM D5035-11 standard, the torn strip test method and the shear strip test method are presented to determine the tensile strength and elongation of many textile fabrics. The torn strip test method is applied to woven fabrics, while the cut strip test applies to nonwovens, felt fabrics and dipped or coated fabrics. This test method is used for knitted fabrics or fabrics with a stretch greater than 11 percent. Not recommended for
