DIN 53862 — Elmendorf Tear Resistance of Woven Fabrics (Falling Pendulum)

← Back to all standards

DIN 53862 is a legacy German method for the tear resistance of woven textile fabrics. Current work references the ISO fabric tear methods. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What DIN 53862 Covers

It measured the tear resistance of woven fabrics, an approach now carried by the current ISO 13937 series.

How the Test Is Run

A notched or trouser specimen is torn by the specified method, and the tear force is recorded.

Why It Matters

For new work, use EN ISO 13937-1 or ISO 13937-2, which cover current fabric tear testing.

Reading the Designation

Cited as DIN 53862 with its edition year. Confirm the edition and specimen or fixture requirements before finalizing setup. To configure a testing setup, request a quote.
