ISO 3689

ISO 3689 specifies the test method for determining the puncture propagation tear resistance of fabrics coated with rubber or plastics. This test is essential for evaluating the durability of coated fabrics in applications where they may be subjected to punctures and tears, such as in industrial materials, tarps, inflatable structures, and protective clothing. The test measures the resistance of the fabric to the propagation of a tear once it has been punctured, providing critical information about the fabric's toughness and reliability.

The standard outlines the procedure for preparing test specimens, applying a puncture force, and measuring how easily the tear propagates. The results help manufacturers ensure that their coated fabrics meet the necessary quality standards for toughness and resilience in demanding environments.

At Pacorr Testing Instruments Pvt Ltd, we offer equipment that adheres to ISO 3689, allowing manufacturers to accurately test the puncture propagation tear resistance of their coated fabrics. This ensures that the materials perform reliably under challenging conditions and meet the industry standards for durability and strength.
