Time to failure explained An absolute strength (force at break) value does not always cover all the information about the strength of a yarn. When a yarn is used in applications where it is subjected to a constant load for a prolonged period of time, the maximum load is often lower than the force at […]

Mechanical properties of polymer yarns and filaments explained With the Instron 5564 tensile tester we’re able to test the mechanical properties of yarns and cords according to ASTM D-885 and BISFA 2004 ch 7 or on customer defined specifications. All measurements are standard done at 5 specimen (n=5) and average values are reported. Next to […]
