What is Tensile Testing?
This is one of the most common mechanical testing

techniques. It is used to find out how strong a material

is and also how much it can be stretched before it
breaks.

Methods of Tensile Testing of Textiles
I.    Constant Rate of Elongation (CRE)

Constant rate of elongation tests are tests used to

determine the strength of textile materials. In constant
rate of elongation tests, the specimen is extended at a
constant rate and the force is a dependent quantity.

II.    Constant Rate of Loading (CRL)

Constant rate of loading tests are tests used to

determine the strength of textile materials. In constant
rate of loading (CRL) tests, the specimen is loaded at a
constant rate and the elongation is a dependent
quantity.

I.    Ballistic Tester

Tensile Strength of a single fiber can be determined by

Ballistic Tester and the test carried out by Ballistic
Tester is called Ballistic Test.

II.    Instron Tensile Tester
Instron Tensile Tester acts on the principle of
Constant Rate of Elongation. In Constant Rate of
Elongation, the specimen is extended at a constant
rate and the force is a dependent quantity.

III.    Lea Strength Tester
(C.S.P)
Lea strength tester is used for
determining the Tensile
Strength and Elongation of
Cotton, Wool, Jute and other
textile materials in form of
skein.

IV.    High Volume Fibre
tester (HVF)
High volume fiber tester is used
to determine fiber properties
like length, strength,
micronaire, maturity & colour.

V.    Uster HVI 1000

HVI uses the constant rate of elongation principle while

testing the fibre sample. The available conventional
methods of strength measurement are slow and are not
compatible to be used with the HVI. The main hindering
factor is the measurement of weight of the test specimen,
which is necessary to estimate the tenacity of the sample.
