Determination of Fabric Strength by Ballistic Tester
This document describes a procedure for determining the strength of a fabric sample using a Ballistic tester. The procedure involves mounting a fabric sample in the jaws of the Ballistic tester, calibrating the tester, releasing the pendulum to pull on the sample until it breaks, and recording the breaking force in pounds. The work of rupture is then calculated using the height measurements taken during the test.

Determination of fabric strength by Ballistic tester.
Aim: - Determination of fabric strength by Ballistic tester.
Material & equipments required: - fabric sample, lea of yarn, Ballistic tester and scissor. Procedure:- 1) 1st keep the pendulum top right side with the help of catch & hold there. 2) Fasten the specimen in both the jaws, pointer also in centre. 3) Calibration is done before the mounting of sample. 4) After placing the samples in both the jaws, release the catch to start the pendulum, which causes the rupture of the sample indicators to move across the scales. 5) When pendulum is released, it swings downward and when it is nearly vertical, it begins to pull on the specimen. 6) Take the readings when the indicators stop at the time of break.
Observations:-
Test No Breaking force in lbs.
Calculation: - Measures ‘work of rupture’ of a specimen instead of maximum
breaking force.
Work of rupture = W (h1 – h2) in lbs.
Result:-
Precaution:- 1) Fixed the sample with both the jaws specimen carefully. 2) Check the scale reading carefully.
