CONT

The recommended units for breaking force are the centinewton for fibers and yarns, and decanewton for cabled yarns.

CONT

Uster Tensorapid 3: The automatic tensile testing installation determines the breaking force and the corresponding elongation of staple fiber yarns, ply yarns and filament yarns, slivers, skeins and woven fabric samples. Force measurements up to 1000 N are possible without exchanging the force transducer.

CONT

1. Force at break before accelerated aging: Ultimate tensile strength (MPA) not less than 21.0. Ultimate elongation (%) not less than 700. 2. Force at break after accelerated aging: Ultimate tensile strength (MPA) not less than 16.0. Ultimate elongation (%) not less than 500 ... .
