ISO 9290 is the textiles method for the tear resistance of woven fabrics using a falling-pendulum apparatus. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ISO 9290 Covers
It measures the force to propagate a tear across a woven fabric with a pendulum, an index of tear strength.
How the Test Is Run
A notched fabric specimen is torn by a falling pendulum, and the energy lost gives the tear resistance.
Why It Matters
Tear resistance governs fabric durability; a calibrated pendulum tester and controlled conditioning are used.
