What type of fabric can be tested for bursting strength?

The bursting strength test is typically conducted on various types of fabrics to assess their strength and resistance to bursting forces. It is commonly used in the textile industry to evaluate the quality and durability of fabrics. The test measures the maximum amount of pressure or force that a fabric can withstand before it ruptures or bursts.


Fabrics that can be tested for bursting strength include, but are not limited to:


1. Woven Fabrics: This includes fabrics made by interlacing two sets of yarns, such as cotton, polyester, nylon, silk, wool, or blended fabrics.

2. Knitted Fabrics: These fabrics are created by interlocking loops of yarn, and they can be tested for bursting strength as well. Examples include jersey, interlock, rib knit, or other knitted fabrics.


3. Non-woven Fabrics: Non-woven fabrics are made by bonding fibers together rather than weaving or knitting. They can also be subjected to bursting strength tests. Examples include felt, spunbond, meltblown, or airlaid fabrics.


4. Technical Textiles: Fabrics used in specialized applications, such as automotive textiles, geotextiles, medical textiles, or protective clothing, can also undergo bursting strength testing.


The bursting strength test provides valuable information about the fabric's ability to withstand pressure and can help determine its suitability for specific applications. The test is conducted using specialized bursting strength testing equipment, such as a hydraulic or pneumatic bursting strength tester, which applies pressure to a fabric specimen until it bursts.
