Standard Test Method for Tear Strength of Fabrics with the ASTM D5587 Trapezoid Procedure

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D5587 standard. This test method involves measuring the tear strength of textile fabrics by the trapezoidal procedure using a record constant-elongation type (CRE) tensile testing machine.

Standard Test Method for Tear Strength of Fabrics with the ASTM D5587 Trapezoid Procedure

The CRE type tensile tester has become the tester of choice for determining trapezoidal tear strength. It is recognized that some constant velocity type (CRT) tensile testing machines continue to be used. As a result, these testers can be used upon agreement between the buyer and supplier.

This test method applies to most fabrics, including woven fabrics, airbag fabrics, blankets, pile fabrics, knitted fabrics, layered fabrics, pile fabrics, and non-woven fabrics. The fabrics may be untreated, substantially sized, coated, resin-treated or otherwise processed.

The tear strength measured in this test method requires that tearing be initiated prior to testing. The reported value obtained is not directly related to the force required to initiate or initiate the tear.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. Values ​​in parentheses are for informational purposes only.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
