BS EN 13895 is an international standard that focuses on various aspects of good quality textiles and fabric products.
BS EN 13895 specifies a method for the determination of tensile properties of monofilaments.
BS EN 13895 covers the technicalities such as related terms and definitions, the principle, apparatus, sampling, conditioning, test procedures, etc. for the determination of tensile properties of monofilaments.
BS EN 13895 on tensile properties of monofilaments is useful for:
Quality of textiles can be coined as the level of acceptance of clothing products or services. For the textile and apparel industry, product quality is checked in terms of finish and class of the fibres, yarns, fabric construction, colourfastness, designs, and the final product.
BS EN 13895 describes a methodology to investigate the tensile properties of textiles, that is tensile testing. Tensile properties vary from material to material and are determined through tensile testing, which helps users to create a load versus elongation curve. This curve can then be converted into a stress versus strain curve.
BS EN 13895 explains a tensile test which is a fundamental mechanical test, that indicates to the users how the material will react to forces being applied in tension. In the test, a carefully prepared specimen is loaded in a very controlled manner while measuring the applied load and the elongation of the specimen over some distance.
Thus, by using BS EN 13895 you can obtain a standard method to determine the tensile properties of textiles.
