ISO 5081

ISO 5081 is an international standard that specifies the method for determining the breaking strength and elongation of woven textile fabrics. This standard is essential for evaluating the mechanical properties of fabrics used in industries such as fashion, home furnishings, and industrial applications. The test helps manufacturers assess how woven textiles will perform when subjected to tensile forces, ensuring that the materials can meet quality and durability requirements.

During the ISO 5081 test, a sample of woven fabric is placed into a tensile testing machine where a steady force is applied until the fabric breaks. The key measurements obtained from this test include the breaking strength (the maximum load the fabric can withstand before failure) and the elongation (the extent to which the fabric stretches before breaking). These properties are critical for determining the fabric’s resilience to stress and its suitability for applications where durability and strength are essential.

At Pacorr Testing Instruments Pvt Ltd, we manufacture high-precision tensile testing equipment designed to comply with ISO 5081 standards. Our machines offer accurate and reliable measurements of breaking strength and elongation, helping manufacturers ensure their woven fabrics meet the required performance standards. By conducting ISO 5081 tests, companies can enhance the quality of their products, ensuring they are suitable for various end-use applications that demand high-strength and durable woven textiles.
