13-62 Textile Burst Testers

INTRODUCTION

Burst Testers for Textiles are used as a multidirectional tensile test to identify failure in the direction of least resistance for evaluating physical strength and fiber bond. Models are available to test a variety of materials. These models can also be fitted with a device to measure the deflection of the sample prior to burst.

PRINCIPLE

The textile burst tester is designed to meet international standards for tests on textiles. In textiles, the burst tester measures the fabrics strength along with immediate or eventual effects of dyes, chemicals and processes. It also demonstrates the results of wear, age and environment and evaluates the comparative strength of alternative fibers.

OPERATION

The Textile Burst Tester is designed for measuring the bursting strength of fabric materials subjected to an increasing hydrostatic pressure. This pressure is applied to a circular region of the specimen via an elastic diaphragm. The specimen is firmly held round the edge of this circular region by a pneumatic clamping device. When the pressure is applied, the specimen deforms together with the diaphragm. The bursting strength corresponds to the maximum pressure supported by the specimen before failure

APPLICATIONS

Textiles, Fibers, Non-woven’s, Polyester, Fabrics and Felts etc.
Strength, stiffness, dye ability, resilience, fatigue elasticity, orientation and crystallinit
