BS 5116 Test Method for Determining the Tensile Strength of Plain Cotton Fiber Bundles

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of BS 5116 standard. This British standard specifies a test method for the determination of tensile strength of cotton fibers arranged in parallel in a straight bundle.

BS 5116 Test Method for Determining the Tensile Strength of Plain Cotton Fiber Bundles

The method is applied to fibers obtained from raw cotton or fibers from various stages of the manufacturing process, or to fibers separated or extracted from manufactured cotton products. The method is applicable to fibers tested at zero nominal gauge length or finite gauge length.

The method is specifically designed for use with tensile strength testers designed for specific use on flat cotton fiber bundles. It can be used with other tensile strength testers if they are equipped with adapters to accommodate fiber clamps.

It describes a method using specially adapted tensile strength test instruments and is applicable to fibers tested with a zero nominal gauge length or a finite gauge length.
