1.1
This method determines the breaking strength of nonwoven textile fabrics. It
is intended primarily for testing materials that are difficult to grip in the
clamps of the testing machine and that cannot be tested satisfactorily by
CAN/CGSB-4.2 No. 9.1 or 9.2 (Note 1). 1.2
The procedure is applicable to fabric either in the conditioned state or wet. 1.3
The procedure is recommended particularly for use with a
constant-rate-of-extension tensile testing machine (e.g., strain gauge) (Note
2).
