Textiles - Tear properties of fabrics - Part 1: Determination of tear force using ballistic pendulum method (Elmendorf) (ISO 13937-1:2000)

This part of EN ISO 13937 describes a method known as the ballistic pendulum (Elmendorf) method for the determination of tear force of textile fabrics. The method describes the measurement of the tear force required to propagate a single-rip tear of defined length from a cut in a fabric when a sudden force is applied. The test is mainlu applicable to woven textile fabrics. It may be applicable to fabrics produced by other techniques, e.g. to nonwovens (with the same under-mentioned restrictions as for the woven fabrics).

Textilien - Weiterreißeigenschaften von textilen Flächengebilden - Teil 1: Bestimmung der Weiterreißkraft mit dem ballistischen Pendel (Elmendorf) (ISO 13937-1:2000)

Dieser Teil von EN ISO 13937 beschreibt das Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Weiterreißkraft textiler Flächengebilde mit dem ballistischen Pendel nach Elmendorf. Bei diesem Verfahren wird die Kraft bestimmt, die zum schnellen Durchreißen eines von einem Einschnitt im textilen Flächengebilde ausgehenden Risses über einen bestimmten Weg erforderlich ist. Die Prüfung ist hauptsächlich für Gewebe anwendbar. Sie darf jedoch auch auf textile Flächengebilde angewendet werden, die nach anderen Techniken hergestellt wurden, z.B. auf Vliesstoffe (mit den gleichen unten genannten Einschränkungen wie für Gewebe).

Textiles - Propriétés de déchirement des étoffes - Partie 1: Détermination de la force de déchirure a l'aide de la méthode balistique au pendule (Elmendorf) (ISO 13937-1:2000)

La présente partie de l'ISO 13937 décrit une méthode appelée méthode balistique au pendule (méthode Elmendorf) pour la détermination de la force de déchirure des étoffes. La méthode prescrit le mode de mesurage de la force de déchirure nécessaire pour poursuivre une déchirure d'une longueur définie amorcée par une entaille dans une étoffe lors de l'application d'une force brusque.L'essai s'applique essentiellement aux étoffes tissées. Il peut être appliqué aux étoffes produites par d'autres techniques, comme les non-tissés (avec les mêmes restrictions que celles qui sont mentionnées ci-dessous pour les étoffes tissées).En général, l'essai ne s'applique pas aux étoffes tricotées et aux tissus élastiques. Il ne convient pas aux étoffes très anisotropes ou aux étoffes lâches dans lesquelles la déchirure risque de se propager dans un sens différent.NOTE 1 : Pour les essais réalisés avec des appareils d'essai de traction, la partie 2 de la norme traite d'une méthode de déchirure unique appelée l'essai du pantalon, la partie 3 de l'essai sur éprouvette croissant et la partie 4 de l'essai de languette.NOTE 2 : Pour la méthode balistique au pendule des étoffes revêtues, se référer à l'ISO 4674-2. En ce qui concerne l'essai sur éprouvette trapézoïdale, se référer à l'ISO 9073-4 pour la méthode pour non-tissés et à l'ISO 4674 pour celle des étoffes revêtues.

Overview

EN ISO 13937-1:2000 - Textiles - Tear properties of fabrics - Part 1: Determination of tear force using ballistic pendulum method (Elmendorf) - describes the Elmendorf (ballistic pendulum) method for measuring the tear force required to propagate a single-rip tear of defined length when a sudden force is applied. The method is primarily intended for woven textile fabrics and may be applied to other fabric types (for example, nonwovens) with the same restrictions noted for woven constructions.

Key Topics

  • Test principle: Use of a ballistic pendulum (Elmendorf) to apply a sudden force that propagates a single-rip tear from a pre-cut in the specimen.
  • Specimen preparation: Defined cutting of the fabric and preparation of a consistent initial tear length (as specified in the standard).
  • Apparatus requirements: Description of the Elmendorf pendulum test equipment, calibration and maintenance essentials.
  • Measurement and calculation: Converting the pendulum’s measured energy loss or deflection into tear force values and recording results.
  • Applicability and limitations: Main applicability to woven fabrics; conditional applicability to fabrics produced by other techniques (e.g., nonwovens) with restrictions.
  • Reporting and documentation: Required test results, conditions and any deviations to ensure reproducibility and comparability.

Applications

EN ISO 13937-1:2000 is used wherever accurate assessment of fabric tear resistance under a sudden loading is required:

  • Quality control and factory acceptance testing for apparel, upholstery, home textiles, and technical textiles
  • Material selection in product development and R&D to compare tear performance
  • Safety and performance evaluation for protective clothing and automotive interiors
  • Comparative testing in textile research laboratories and accredited testing facilities

Who uses this standard

  • Textile manufacturers and converters performing routine quality assurance
  • Independent textile testing laboratories
  • Product designers and R&D teams evaluating material durability
  • Specifiers and procurement teams setting minimum performance criteria
  • Standards bodies and certification organizations referencing tear performance

Related Standards

  • ISO/EN standards covering other tear test methods (for example, ISO 13937-2 - trouser test) and complimentary tensile and elongation standards used together to build a full mechanical profile of textile fabrics.
