Standard Test Method for
Breaking Force and Elongation of Textile Fabrics (Strip
Method)1

This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5035; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of the last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of the last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

1. Scope

1.1 This test method covers raveled strip and cut strip test
procedures for determining the breaking force and elongation
of most textile fabrics. Provision is made for wet testing.

1.1.1 The raveled strip test is applicable to woven fabrics
while the cut strip test is applicable to nonwoven fabrics, felted
fabrics, and dipped or coated fabrics.

1.2 This test method is not recommended for knitted fabrics
or for other textile fabrics which have high stretch (more than
11 %).
NOTE 1—For the determination of the breaking force and elongation of
textile fabrics using the grab test and modified grab test procedures, refer
to Test Method D 5034.
NOTE 2—For determination of the breaking force and elongation of
some specific types of fabrics which use the strip test, refer to Specifications D 579 and D 580.

1.3 This test method shows the values in both inch-pound
units and SI units. Inch-pound units are the technically correct
name for the customary units used in the United States. SI units
is the technically correct name for the system of metric units
known as the International System of Units. The values stated
in either acceptable metric units or in other units shall be
regarded separately as standard. The values expressed in each
system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system
must be used independently of the other, without combining in
any way.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
