ASTM D1388 Test for Hardness of Fabrics

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D1388 testing. This standard covers the measurement of the stiffness properties of fabrics. The bending length is measured and the bending stiffness is calculated.

Two procedures are provided:

• The Cantilever Test using the principle of elbow bending of the fabric under its own mass.
• The Heart Cycle Test using the principle of a loop formed on a strip of fabric and suspended vertically.

This test method is applicable to most fabrics, including woven fabrics, air cushion fabrics, blankets, pile fabrics, knitted fabrics, layered fabrics, pile fabrics. The fabrics may be untreated, substantially sized, coated, resin-treated or otherwise processed.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. US conventional units can be approx.

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, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
