DIN EN ISO 13934-1 (accredited)

Our testing lab performs testing in accordance with the DIN EN ISO 13934-1 standard (determination of maximum force and elongation at maximum force using the strip method) competently in an accredited procedure.

This test method is used to determine the tensile properties of textile fabrics. It allows the mechanical performance of a fabric under uniaxial stress to be precisely characterized – an essential quality feature for technical textiles, apparel fabrics, and composite materials.

For testing, samples are prepared in strip form with defined dimensions. These are clamped at both ends in a tensile testing machine and stretched at a constant speed until failure. The testing speed and the gauge length are specified in the standard to ensure reproducible and comparable results. During the test, the applied force and elongation are measured continuously. From these data, the maximum force (in N) and the elongation at maximum force (in %) are determined.

The test can be performed in the warp and weft directions (for woven fabrics) or in various directions for other types of fabrics such as knitted or nonwoven materials.

Testing according to DIN EN ISO 13934-1 in our accredited laboratory provides a reliable assessment of the tensile strength and elongation behavior of textile materials.
