ISO 13937-2 is the trouser-shaped specimen (single-tear) method for the tear force of fabrics. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ISO 13937-2 Covers
It measures the force to continue a tear along a fabric using a trouser-shaped specimen pulled in a tensile machine, giving a tear-force trace.
How the Test Is Run
The two legs of a trouser specimen are gripped and pulled apart at a controlled rate, and the force to propagate the tear is recorded along the tear.
Why It Matters
Trouser tear reflects real tear propagation in fabrics; grips and a tensile frame with a suitable trace are used.
