UNE EN ISO 13936 Seam slippage testing of fabrics
The UNE EN ISO 13936 seam slippage test is a critical procedure in the textile industry, ensuring that seams and edges are securely bonded. This standard applies to woven and knitted fabrics used in various sectors such as clothing, upholstery, and industrial textiles. Seam slippage testing ensures that garments and other products maintain their structural integrity over time.
The test method involves placing a specimen under tension and measuring the amount of seam slippage or displacement when stress is applied along the lengthwise direction. This helps to determine the strength and durability of the seams in fabric products. Compliance with this standard is essential for manufacturers aiming to meet international quality benchmarks.
The test procedure requires precise control over specimen preparation, which includes selecting appropriate specimens that represent typical seam configurations used in production processes. Specimen preparation must also account for any specific requirements specified by the customer or relevant standards.
Instrumentation plays a crucial role in conducting this test accurately and repeatably. High-quality testing machines equipped with precise measurement systems are necessary to ensure accurate results. These instruments typically feature digital displays, force transducers, and displacement sensors that provide real-time data during the test.
The process of performing the seam slippage test involves several steps: mounting the specimen on the machine, applying a specified load gradually until a predetermined elongation is reached, recording the seam slip distance, and then analyzing the results. The force required to cause a certain amount of seam slip can vary depending on factors like fabric type, needle size, thread count, etc.
Once conducted correctly, this test provides valuable insights into how well seams hold up under stress conditions similar to those encountered during normal use or washing cycles. It allows manufacturers to identify potential weaknesses in their designs early on so they can make necessary adjustments before large-scale production begins.
