Textiles - Tear properties of fabrics - Part 3: Determination of tear force of wing-shaped test specimens (Single tear method) (ISO 13937-3:2000)
This Part of EN ISO 13937 describes a single tear method to determine fabric tear force, known as the wing test using a test specimen cut to form two wings for clamping inclined at a defined angle to the thread direction. The tear force measured is the force required to propagate a previously started tear. The test is mainly applicable to woven textile fabrics.
Textilien - Weiterreißeigenschaften von textilen Flächengebilden - Teil 3: Bestimmung der Weiterreißkraft mit dem Flügel-Weiterreißversuch (einfacher Weiterreißversuch) (ISO 13937-3:2000)
Dieser Teil von EN ISO 13937 beschreibt einen einfachen Weiterreißversuch zur Bestimmung der Weiterreißkraft textiler Flächengebilde, der als Flügel-Weiterreißversuch bekannt ist, bei dem eine Meßprobe so eingeschnitten wird, daß zwei zum Einspannen vorgesehene Flügel unter einem bestimmten Winkel zum Fadenverfauf erzeugt werden. Die gemessene Weiterreißkraft ist die Kraft, die zum Weiterreißen eines zuvor erzeugten Einschnittes erforderlich ist. Die Prüfung ist hauptsächlich für Gewebe anwendbar.
Textiles - Propriétés de déchirement des étoffes - Partie 3: Détermination de la force de déchirure des éprouvettes croissants (Méthode de la déchirure unique) (ISO 13937-3:2000)
La présente partie de l'ISO 13937 décrit une méthode à déchirure unique pour déterminer la force de déchirure d'une étoffe, appelée essai de l'éprouvette croissant, effectuée sur une éprouvette découpée en forme de croissant dont les deux branches sont fixées dans des pinces selon un angle défini par rapport au sens de fils. La force de déchirure mesurée est la force nécessaire à la propagation d'une déchirure amorcée.L'essai s'applique essentiellement aux étoffes tissées. Il peut être appliqué aux étoffes produites par d'autres techniques. En raison de la fixation des branches de l'éprouvette selon un plan incliné par rapport aux fils à déchirer, l'essai peut être utilisé pour la plupart des types d'étoffe sans déviation de la déchirure et avec moins de risques de retrait des fils que dans les autres essais.En général, la méthode d'essai décrite ne s'applique pas aux étoffes tricotées, aux tissus élastiques et aux non-tissés pour lesquels la méthode sur éprouvette trapézoïdale est utilisée de préférence (Note 2).La présente méthode permet uniquement l'utilisation d'appareils d'essai à vitesse constante d'allongement (CRE, en anglais : constant rate of extension).NOTE 1 : Pour les autres méthodes d'essai de déchirure utilisant des appareils d'essai de traction, la partie 2 de la norme décrit une méthode appelée essai sur éprouvette pantalon, la partie 4 la méthode de l'essai de languette et la partie 1 traite de la méthode balistique au pendule (méthode Elmendorf).NOTE 2 : En ce qui concerne la méthode sur éprouvette trapézoïdale, se référer à l'ISO 9073-4 pour les non-tissés et à l'ISO 4674 pour lesétoffes revêtues.

Overview
EN ISO 13937-3:2000 - Textiles - Tear properties of fabrics - Part 3: Determination of tear force of wing-shaped test specimens (Single tear method) - is a CEN-adopted ISO standard that defines the wing test (single tear method) for measuring the force required to propagate an already-started tear in a fabric. The procedure uses a specially cut, wing-shaped test specimen clamped so the wings are inclined at a defined angle to the thread direction. This Part is principally intended for woven textile fabrics and provides a repeatable way to quantify tear propagation resistance.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability: Specifies the single tear (wing) method for assessing tear propagation in fabrics, primarily woven materials.
- Specimen geometry: Describes the use of a wing-shaped specimen cut to form two wings for clamping at a defined angle relative to thread direction.
- Measured value: The tear force recorded is the force required to continue propagation of a pre-initiated tear.
- Test intent: Designed to give consistent, comparable measurements that reflect fabric behavior during tear propagation rather than initial tear initiation.
- Standardization context: Part of the ISO 13937 series addressing tear properties of fabrics; adopted by CEN and published as a national standard in member countries.
Applications
- Quality control for apparel and home textiles where tear propagation affects product durability and consumer safety.
- Performance testing for technical and industrial textiles (e.g., tarpaulins, upholstery, protective fabrics) where continued tearing is a failure mode.
- Comparative evaluation during material selection and R&D to compare weave constructions, yarn types, or finishing treatments regarding their resistance to tear propagation.
- Laboratory testing in textile testing houses, third-party certification bodies, and in-house QC departments that require standardized, reproducible tear-force data.
- Useful input for designers, engineers, and compliance teams concerned with lifecycle performance, warranty claims, and regulatory requirements.
Related Standards
- EN ISO 13937-3:2000 is one part of the broader ISO 13937 series on tear properties of fabrics; other parts address alternative tear test methods and specimen types. For a complete assessment of tear performance, consult the related ISO 13937 parts and relevant national/adopted CEN documents.
