EN ISO 4674-1 Rubber or Plastic Coated Fabrics, Determination of Tear Resistance, Part 1: Constant Tear Rate Methods

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 4674-1 testing. EN ISO 4674-1 specifies two methods for determining the forces required to initiate and propagate tearing of a coated fabric using the constant tear rate method.

The methods described are:

  • Method A: tongue tear;
  • Method B: tearing the pants.

Tearing is one of the more common means of destruction for many thin materials such as paper, coated or uncoated textiles, plastic films and leather. Knowing the resistance of these materials to such behavior is therefore very important.

In practice, tearing can result from many different conditions; Therefore, numerous test methods have been developed to predict the behavior of materials in various situations.

This section of EN ISO 4674 describes two methods using a tensile testing machine at a constant rate of extension. EN ISO 4674-2 describes a dynamic method that uses the kinetic energy of a falling pendulum.
