This standard describes a hydraulic method for determining burst strength and burst swelling of textile fabrics.
In this standard, a hydraulic pressure is applied using a constant pumping device speed. ISO 13938-2 describes a method using pneumatic pressure.
The method can be applied to knitted, woven, non-woven and laminated fabrics. It may be suitable for fabrics produced by other techniques. The test is suitable for test specimens in the conditioned or wet condition.
From the available data there appears to be no significant difference in burst strength results obtained using hydraulic or pneumatic burst testers for pressures up to 800 kPa. This pressure range covers most of the performance levels expected from general wear. Hydraulic apparatus is more suitable for special textiles that require high burst pressures.
