ISO 13934-2 (Grab Method) — Fabric Maximum Force Tensile Test

← Back to all standards

ISO 13934-2 is the test method for the maximum force of textile fabrics using the grab method. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ISO 13934-2 Covers

It determines the breaking force of woven fabrics with grips that clamp only a central portion of the specimen width, a faster route to relative strength.

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 the maximum force is recorded.

Why It Matters

The grab method gives quick comparative fabric strength; grab jaws of the specified width and controlled conditioning keep results comparable.
