Time to failure

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

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 […]
