4 Principle
A specimen is held across its entire width in a set of clamps or jaws (see Figure 3) of a tensile testing
machine operated at a constant displacement speed, and a longitudinal force is applied to the test
specimen until the specimen ruptures. The tensile properties of the test specimen are calculated from
machine scales, dials, autographic recording charts, or an interfaced computer. A constant test speed is
selected so as to give a strain rate of (20 ±5) % per minute in the gauge length of the specimen, except for
products that exhibit a low strain, i.e. less than or equal to 5 %. For these products, e.g. glass, the speed
is reduced so that the specimen breaks in 30 ±5 s.
The basic distinction between the current method and other methods for measuring tensile properties
of fabrics is the width of the specimen. In the current method, the width is greater than the length
ǡ
ȋ
Ȍ
gauge length area.
The greater width reduces the contraction effect of such fabrics and provides a relationship closer to the
