Tensile Strength Test for Fabrics

Textiles suffer many types of damage in daily use. Tensile, compression, bending, and friction cause the most important effects. These forces lead to fracture, tearing, and breaking. So, the textile’s tensile, tearing, and breaking properties directly affect the product’s durability. They also determine the textile’s quality. Tensile strength testing assesses the basic properties of textiles….
