DANSK DS/EN ISO 13938-2 PDF

This standard describes a pneumatic determination of bursting strength and bursting distension of textile fabrics. From the available data there appears to be no significant difference in the bursting strength results achieved using hydraulic or pneumatic burst testers, for pressures up to 800 kPa. This pressure range covers the majority of performance levels expected of general apparel. For speciality textiles requiring high bursting pressures, the hydraulic apparatus is more suitable.
