Fibers, Yarns, Threads, Rovings

The physical characteristics of these primary textiles are mainly determined by tensile tests, with specimen preparation as specified by the relevant Standard.

The following examples are of tests using Standard EN ISO 2062, which specifies the procedure for determining the breaking force and elongation at break of textile yarns.
