Record 2 1996-08-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Textile Industries
  • Strength of Materials
  • Engineering Tests and Reliability
DEF

The length of a specimen whose weight is equal to the breaking load.

CONT

Each breaking length should be multiplied by the local value of gravity and then divided by the set standard value.

Key term(s)
  • breaking length

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industries du textile
  • Résistance des matériaux
  • Fiabilité, contrôle et essais (Ingénierie)
DEF

Longueur limite calculée, au-delà de laquelle une bande de tissu, d'une largeur quelconque mais uniforme, supposée suspendue par l'une de ses extrémités, se rompt sous son propre poids. La longueur de rupture, en kilomètres, est parfois utilisée.

OBS

longueur de rupture d'un tissu : terme et définition normalisés par l'AFNOR.

Record 3 1996-08-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Textile Industries
  • Strength of Materials
  • Engineering Tests and Reliability
DEF

A measure of the breaking strength of a yarn; the calculated length of a specimen whose weight is equal to its breaking load. The breaking length expressed in kilometers is numerically equal to the breaking tenacity expressed in grams-force per tex.

CONT

The breaking length expressed in kilometers is numerically equal to the breaking tenacity expressed in grams-force per tex.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industries du textile
  • Résistance des matériaux
  • Fiabilité, contrôle et essais (Ingénierie)
DEF

Mesure de la résistance à la rupture d'un fil; longueur calculée d'un spécimen dont le poids est égal à sa charge de rupture. La longueur de rupture exprimée en kilomètre est numériquement égale à la résistance à la rupture exprimée en grammes-force par tex.

Record 4 1994-10-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pulp and Paper
DEF

The calculated limiting length of a strip of paper or board of any uniform width, beyond which, if such a strip were suspended by one end, it would break by its own weight. NOTE - Breaking length is calculated from the tensile strength and the grammage measured under standard conditions of test.

OBS

The term "breaking length" has been standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pâtes et papier
DEF

Longueur limite calculée, au-delà de laquelle une bande de papier ou de carton de largeur uniforme, suspendue par l'une de ses extrémités, se romprait sous son propre poids. NOTE - La longueur de rupture est calculée à partir de la résistance à la rupture par traction et du grammage mesurés dans les conditions de la méthode d'essai normalisée.

OBS

Le terme "longueur de rupture" a été normalisé par l'ISO et l'AFNOR.

OBS

Dans le Cours de formation papetière de Jean Vilars (code CTD-1) on retrouvera le terme «longueur de rupture» sous l'article 12.2.3.1.
