ASTM D5034 is the test method for the breaking strength and elongation of textile fabrics using the grab method. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ASTM D5034 Covers
It determines the breaking force and elongation of fabrics with grips clamping a central portion of the width, the ASTM grab tensile method.
How the Test Is Run
A conditioned fabric specimen is clamped over a central width by grab jaws and pulled at a controlled rate, and breaking force and elongation are recorded.
Why It Matters
Grab tensile strength gives a practical measure of fabric strength; grab jaws of the specified width and controlled conditioning are essential.
