ISO 4674-2: Tear resistance of rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics (ballistic pendulum)

← Back to all standards

ISO 4674-2 is the ballistic-pendulum method for the tear resistance of rubber- or plastic-coated fabrics. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ISO 4674-2 Covers

It measures the tear resistance of coated fabrics with a pendulum, relevant to tarpaulins, tents, and industrial coated textiles.

How the Test Is Run

A notched coated-fabric specimen is torn by a falling pendulum, and the energy lost gives the tear resistance.

Why It Matters

Tear resistance governs the durability of coated fabrics; a calibrated pendulum tester and controlled conditioning are used.
