Mechanical testing of textiles and PPE: tear, abrasion, elongation, and puncture
We conduct mechanical tests of fabrics, materials, and personal protective equipment (PPE) for compliance with the requirements of a series of standards, including DSTU EN ISO 9073, DSTU EN ISO 13935, DSTU ISO 13937, DSTU EN ISO 13934, etc. for strength, elasticity, and wear resistance. The tests allow us to assess product quality, guarantee safety of use, and confirm compliance with technical regulations.
Main types of mechanical tests:
Puncture test:
- – Assessment of resistance to puncture by sharp objects (relevant for PPE — gloves, protective clothing, footwear);
- – Determination of maximum load before damage.
Випробування на розрив:
- – Визначення міцності матеріалу при розтягуванні до розриву;
- – Оцінка граничного навантаження і подовження.
Tear test:
– Іsimulation of mechanical impact that may cause damage under operating conditions;
– Assessment of the stability of seams and edges of the product.
Elongation test:
- – Analysis of deformation properties (how elastic or rigid the material is);
- – Important for fabrics that need to perform in dynamic conditions.
We accept samples from manufacturers, trading companies, importers, and certification bodies.
