What is BS 1932-2 – Testing the strength of yarns and threads about?

BS 1932-2 is an international standard that focuses on the determination methods for knot strength and loop strength.

BS 1932-2 describes methods for determination of the knot strength of specimens of yarn in each of which a single overhand knot has been tied and the loop strength of interlinked looped lengths of yarn.

BS 1932-2 provides for the determination of the strength of yarns both in equilibrium with the standard temperate atmosphere for testing and in the wet state.

Who is BS 1932-2 - Testing the strength of yarns and threads for?

BS 1932-2 on testing the strength of yarns and threads is useful for:

Textile manufacturer
Clothing industries
Textile testing laboratories
Fabric quality assurance authorities
Regulatory authorities

Why should you use BS 1932-2 - Testing the strength of yarns and threads?

The tensile strength of the yarn can be termed as the force required to break the yarn. The tensile strength of the yarn is a very important property of yarn. It directly affects the performance of yarn during weaving and another process.

BS 1932-2 specifies the technicalities for two methods used to test the strength of the yarns and threads:

Bundle strength
Single-end strength

BS 1932-2 also informs you about a specific type of clamp and the proper load cell that should be used to conduct testing for yarn and thread. This is the only way to get completely accurate results.

BS 1932-2 is essential for testing the strength of yarns and threads from packages the productivity of production environments. By pinpointing the tensile strength, you can operate within safe bounds to prevent breaks that halt production and hamper efficiency.

A high-quality testing clamp is an asset to your production environment. BS 1932-2 allows you to monitor tensile strengths constantly without slowing or stopping production.
