Textile glass; Woven fabric; Determination of tensile breaking force and breaking elongation by the strip method

This document establishes a standardized test method for evaluating the mechanical properties of glass fibre fabrics. It specifically outlines the procedure for determining breaking force and elongation at break using the strip test approach. The methodology defines the preparation of specimen strips, the required testing equipment, and the precise conditions under which the tensile test must be conducted. By adhering to these uniform guidelines, laboratories can ensure consistent and comparable results when assessing the strength and extensibility of textile glass fabrics. The standard provides clear instructions on how to calculate the breaking force and the corresponding elongation percentage, facilitating quality control and material selection in the manufacturing and application of glass fibre textiles. This approach is fundamental for manufacturers and users to verify that specific glass fabric products meet necessary performance criteria for their intended industrial applications.
