GB/T 3917.1 is the Chinese national method for fabric tear force using a ballistic pendulum. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What GB/T 3917.1 Covers
It measures the force to propagate a tear across a woven fabric with a pendulum, the GB/T ballistic-pendulum tear method.
How the Test Is Run
A notched fabric specimen is torn by a falling pendulum, and the energy lost gives the tear force.
Why It Matters
Tear strength governs fabric durability; a calibrated pendulum tester and controlled conditioning are used.
