FABRIC STRENGTH

This is tested on tensile testing machine on a sample cut from

the sack.
Specimen width : 50 mm,
length : 300 mm
Gauge length : 200 mm
Test speed : 100 mm/min.
SEAM STRENGTH
 A cut sample from seam is tested in tensile testing machine for
the breaking strength.
DROP TEST
 A filled sack is dropped vertically on the bottom from a height
of 1.5m and there should be no failure in three drops.
DENIER OF THE TAPE
 A measure of weight per 9000m length of the tape.
TENASITY OF THE TAPE
 It is the measure of load per denier ie. The pulling force (load)
divided by denier.
