Nonwovens - Test methods - Part 18 : determination of tensile strength and elongation at break using the grab tensile test
This document specifies a test method for the determination of the breaking force of nonwovens using a grab method in conditioned or wet state.This test method is not applicable to materials which have a high percentage of stretch. Comparing test results from tensile testing machines operating on different principles is not applicable.This document specifies methods using constant rate of specimen extension (CRE) tensile testers. Constant-rate-of-loading (CRL) instruments is covered, for information, in ISO 2062:2009, Annex A, in recognition of the fact that these instruments are still in use and can be used by agreement.

ISO 9073-18:2007 specifies a grab tensile test procedure for determining the breaking strength and elongation of most nonwoven materials. It includes instructions for the testing of wet specimens. This grab tensile test procedure is applicable for most nonwovens, but is not recommended for nonwovens which have a high percentage of stretch.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

At a glance, you will be able to identify the additions, deletions or modifications to a text, table, figure and formula.
