Determination of the elasticity of fabrics - Part 3: Narrow fabrics
This standard describes the test methods which can be used to measure the elasticity and related properties of narrow fabrics. Two methods are itemised: one for the purpose of product quality assurance (method A), and the other for product performance when in use (method B).
Bestimmung der Elastizität von Flächengebilden - Teil 3: Schmaltextilien
Diese Norm beschreibt die Prüfverfahren, die zur Messung der Elastizität und zugehöriger Eigenschaften von Schmaltextilien verwendet werden können. Zwei Verfahren werden genannt, von denen das eine (Verfahren A) der Sicherung der Produktqualität und das andere (Verfahren B) den Gebrauchseigenschaften des Produktes dient.
Détermination de l'élasticité des étoffes - Partie 3 : Etoffes étroites

2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN ISO 139, Textiles – Standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing (ISO 139:2005) EN ISO 7500-1, Metallic materials – Verification of static uniaxial testing machines – Part 1: Tension/compression testing machines – Verification and calibration of the force-measuring system (ISO 7500-1:2004) EN ISO 10012, Measurement management systems - Requirements for measurement processes and measuring equipment (ISO 10012:2003) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European standard the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 narrow fabric woven or knitted construction intended for use as a trim, binding, edging, strapping or harness, and designed to be used in its full width 3.2 elasticity property of a material by virtue of which it tends to recover its original size and shape immediately after removing the force causing deformation 3.3 constant-rate-of-extension (CRE) testing machine tensile testing machine provided with one clamp which is stationary and another clamp, which moves with a constant speed throughout the test, the entire testing system being virtually free from deflection 3.4 strip test specimen test specimen in which the full width is gripped in the jaws of the testing machine 3.5 gauge length distance between the two effective clamping points of a testing device, for this method where line clamps are employed, it is the distance between the two contact points 3.6 slack mounting insertion of a strip test specimen in the line clamps of the upper jaw, allowing it to hang freely under its own weight, guided by the hand to ensure perpendicular alignment to the line of pulling force, without any force being applied
3.15 force decay due to exercising loss of force, calculated and expressed as a percentage, as measured and recorded at the same elongation point on two different cycles when the test specimen is cycled several times between zero and a specified elongation (see Annex A) 3.16 un-recovered elongation ratio of the unrecovered extension of the test specimen after cycling, to a specified force or extension, to its initial length, expressed as a % 3.17 recovered elongation unrecovered elongation, expressed as a %, subtracted from 100 % 3.18 elastic recovery recovered elongation expressed as a % of the total elongation
Under conditions of use, the accuracy of the apparatus shall be at least class 1 of EN ISO 7500-1.
