What is BS EN 16653 - Determination of stitch tear resistance for rubber or plastic-coated fabrics about?
BS EN 16653 is an international standard that focuses on test methods and the determination of stitch tear resistance for rubber or plastic-coated fabrics. BS EN 16653 specifies a method for the determination of the resistance of the seams of rubber or plastic-coated fabrics against tearing out a needle perpendicular to the stitching direction. This resistance is characterized by determining the stitch tear force.
Who is BS EN 16653 - Determination of stitch tear resistance for rubber or plastic-coated fabrics?
BS EN 16653 on test methods and the determination of stitch tear resistance for rubber or plastic-coated fabrics are useful for:
- Manufacturing unit of rubber or plastic-coated fabrics
- Quality assurance team
- Fabric testing facilities
Why should you use BS EN 16653 - Determination of stitch tear resistance for rubber or plastic-coated fabrics?
Tearing is amongst the more usual ways of destruction for many thin materials such as paper, coated or uncoated textiles, plastic films, and leather. Knowledge of the resistance of these materials to this type of behaviour is therefore very important. In BS EN 16653 tearing can result from very different circumstances; hence the large number of test methods that have been developed to predict the behaviour of materials in various situations.
BS EN 16653 assist you in sampling and conditioning the test methods. BS EN 16653 covers test apparatus and materials, expression results, and how to generate a test report to establish a result.
