ISO 1974

Test Materials: ISO 1974 specifies the use of textile samples, which should be of uniform thickness and free from defects. Specimens must be prepared to specific dimensions for consistency in testing.

Test Process: The test involves applying a tensile force to the sample using a specialized tearing machine. The fabric is clamped, and a blade initiates a tear, with the energy required to propagate the tear being measured.

Test Result Interpretation: Results are reported in Newtons, indicating the tear strength of the material. Higher values reflect greater resistance to tearing, providing essential insights into the durability and performance of textile products in practical applications.
