ISO 13934-1 Tensile Properties of Fabrics (Strip Method)

← Back to all standards

ISO 13934-1 is the test method for the maximum force and elongation of textile fabrics using the strip method. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ISO 13934-1 Covers

It determines the breaking force and elongation of woven fabrics with a full-width strip clamped across its whole width, the standard strip tensile method for fabrics.

How the Test Is Run

A conditioned fabric strip is clamped across its full width and pulled at a controlled rate, and the maximum force and elongation at maximum force are recorded.

Why It Matters

Fabric tensile strength governs durability and end-use performance; wide fabric grips that hold without slip and controlled conditioning are essential.
