EN 12562 is the test-method standard for para-aramid multifilament yarns used in high-performance textiles. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What EN 12562 Covers
It defines how the tensile and related properties of para-aramid (aramid) yarns are measured, supporting the specification of these high-strength fibers.
How the Test Is Run
A para-aramid yarn is gripped and pulled at a controlled rate with careful clamping to avoid fiber damage, and tensile strength and elongation are determined.
Why It Matters
Consistent yarn tensile data qualifies high-performance aramid fibers; grips that hold high-strength yarn without cutting it are essential.
