    The document discusses various strength properties of fabrics including tensile strength, tearing strength, and bursting strength. It defines each type of strength, describes how they are tested, and lists some factors that can affect the strength of fabrics such as molecular structure, fiber fineness, and humidity. Tensile strength is the force before a fabric breaks when pulled, tearing strength is the force to continue a tear, and bursting strength is the ability to resist rupture from inside pressure.

    Fabric Strength
    Fabric strength is generally considered to be
    next to fibre length and fineness in the order
    of importance amongst fabric properties.
    Fabric strength denotes the maximum tension
    the fibre is able to sustain before breaking.
    It can be expressed as breaking stength or
    load, tenacity etc.
    Elongation denotes elongation percentage of
    fibre at break.

    Factors Affecting the strength of


    Fabric
    Molecular Structure
    Number and intensity of weak
    places
    Coarseness or fineness of fibre
    Relative Humidity
    Elasticity

    Tensile Strength

    Tensile strengthis a measurement of theforcerequired to pull the fabric


    to the point where it breaks. It is the maximum amount oftensile
    stressthat it can take before failure, for example breaking

    Tensile Strength Test


    Fabric samples are tested in
    the warp (lengthwise) and
    weft (crosswise) direction.
    They are clamped in
    amachineand extended
    until they break. The
    breaking load and extension
    are measured. The
    extensibility of the fabric
    contributes to its comfort.

    Tearing Strength

    Tearing Strength is the force required to continue a tear


    or rip already stated in a fabric.

    Bursting Strength Test


    In this test a 25mm diameter steel ball is pushed through the stretched fabric and the force
    required to do so is recorded.
    The advantage of the test is that it can be carried out on a standard universal strength tester
    with a suitable attachment.
    There is also no limit to the amount a sample can be extended as there is with the diaphragm
    test.

    Diaphragm bursting test:

    In this test the fabric sample is clamped over a rubber diaphragm by means of an
    annular clamping ring.
    An increasing fluid pressure is applied to the underside of the diaphragm until the
    specimen bursts.
    The operating fluid may be a liquid or a gas.

    Sample:

    Specimens of two sizes are used; 30mm and 113mm.


    The specimen with the larger diameter fails at lower pressure (approximately 1/5 of the
    30mm diameter value).
    The standard requires 10 specimens to be tested.
    Procedure :

    The fabric sample is clamped over the rubber diaphgram.


    The pressure in the fluid increases at such a rate that the specimen
    bursts within 20/3 sec (p1)
    The height (extension) of the diaphragm is noted.
    Another test is carried out without a specimen.
    The pressure to do this is noted and then deducted from the earlier
    reading.
    (p1-p2) is the actual bursting strength of the specimen.

    Disadvantages:

    Fabrics with very high extensibility (knitted fabrics) creates problem because the rubber
    diaphragm has to stretch to the same amount.

    Blank test is required, which needs accuracy, or pressure distance calibration chart is
    required.
    Spilling of liquid may occur or chances of leakage.
    Diameter of the specimen may be varied.

    It is good to have a test length greater than the fibre length. A diameter of say 1.2'', which
    is recommended by some standard, is little on the smaller side for woven cotton cloth.

    For knotted fabrics the length of yarn (a 1.2'' circular fabric) is much longer due to looped
    structure.

    Crimp percentage in warp and weft plays an important role. For similar yarn, the direction
    with lower crimp percentage will break.
