ASTM D2261 determines the tearing strength of textile fabrics by the tongue (single rip) procedure using a recording constant-rate-of-extension-type (CRE) tensile testing machine. Most textile fabrics can be tested by this test method and some modification of clamping techniques may be necessary for a given fabric due to its structure. TestResources provides machines, grips, equipment, and fixtures for testing in accordance with ASTM D2261.
By means of our fabric testing expertise and modular product design, we will help find the testing solution that is right for you. Give one of our application engineers a call today for help with creating the best budget and testing plan according to ASTM D2261.
