ASTM D 5587

Standard:

ASTM

Method:

ASTM D 5587

Title:

Tearing Strength of Fabrics by Trapezoid Procedure

Scope

The ASTM D 5587 test method covers the measurement of the tearing strength of textile fabrics by the trapezoid procedure using a recording constant-rate-of-extension-type (CRE) tensile testing machine.

Significance and Use

The trapezoid tear produces tension along a reasonably defined course such that the tear propagates across the width of the specimen. It is useful for estimating the relative tear resistance of different fabrics or different directions in the same fabric.
