ASTM D2256

ASTM D2256 is a standard test method used to determine the tensile properties of yarns made from different fibers. This test is critical for understanding the strength, elongation, and energy-to-break of yarns used in textiles, helping manufacturers evaluate their performance under stress. The method is particularly useful for assessing yarns used in fabrics, carpets, and industrial products, ensuring that they meet quality standards for durability and resilience.

In ASTM D2256, a length of yarn is clamped between the jaws of a tensile testing machine and subjected to a gradually increasing force until it breaks. The test measures the tensile strength, which is the maximum load the yarn can withstand, and the elongation, or how much the yarn stretches before breaking. These properties provide valuable insights into the yarn’s behavior during processing, handling, and end-use applications.

At Pacorr Testing Instruments Pvt Ltd, we offer advanced tensile testing machines that comply with ASTM D2256 standards. Our equipment ensures precise and repeatable measurements, allowing manufacturers to evaluate yarns accurately and make informed decisions about their products' quality. By conducting ASTM D2256 tests, businesses can ensure that their yarns perform well in various applications, from apparel to industrial textiles, guaranteeing long-term performance and customer satisfaction.
