Title
Standard Test Method for Failure in Sewn Seams of Woven Apparel Fabrics
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Jul 1, 2007
Scope:
This test method measures the sewn seam strength in woven
fabrics by applying a force perpendicular to the sewn seams.
NOTE 1—The grab test procedure in Test Method D 5034 shall be
used to determine any characteristic in fabric that can affect the
measurement of sewn seam strength.
This test method is applicable to sewn seams obtained from a
previously sewn article or seams sewn with fabric samples using
either a specific seam assembly (see Table 1), or production seam
assemblies.
This test method is used when a breaking force to rupture, a
minimum elongation, or both are required to determine the sewn seam
strength, seam slippage, or seam integrity of a particular fabric
for a specified end use.
NOTE 2—This test method is used in conjunction with Test Method
D 5034, which is used to measure breaking force and elongation of
textile fabrics. Sewn seams in woven fabrics can fail due to
rupture, slippage, or any combination thereof. Rupture can be
further categorized as failure or fabric, or sewing thread, or seam
slippage.
This test method does not predict actual wear performance of a
seam.
The values stated in either acceptable metric units (SI) or in
other units shall be regarded separately as standard. The values
expressed in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore
each system must be used independently of the other, without
combining values in any way.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
