1 This International Standard describes two methods for the determination of the tensile strength of fabrics coated with rubber or plastics:
Method 1 — the strip test method, which is a method for the determination of tensile strength and elongation at break;
Method 2 — the grab test method, which is a method for the determination of tensile strength only.
2 The methods apply to test pieces in equilibrium with specific standard atmospheres for testing, and to wet test pieces.
3 Both methods require the use of a constant rate of extension (CRE) tensile-testing machine.
