    itsFRNCs
    This document describes Method 4108 for determining the breaking strength and elongation of textile webbing, tape, and braided items. It outlines the test specimen requirements, number of determinations, apparatus used, test procedures, and reporting requirements. The apparatus consists of a straining mechanism to hold and apply strain to the specimen, clamps to secure the specimen, and a load and elongation recording mechanism. Specimens are tested by applying force at a uniform rate until rupture, and the breaking load and elongation are measured and averaged across test specimens.

    The document describes a test method for determining the breaking strength and elongation of textile webbing materials.

    The test method is used for determining the breaking strength and elongation of textile webbing, tape and braided items.

    The main parts of the apparatus are the straining mechanism, clamps, and load and elongation recording mechanisms. The straining mechanism applies strain to the specimen held by two clamps. The load and elongation are recorded.

    single length of 54 inches (1372 mm) and the full
    of the material as received.
    NUMBER OF DETERMINATIONS
    Unless otherwise specified in the procurement document, five specimens
    be tested from each sample unit.
    APPARATUS
    The machine shall consist of three main parts:
    (a) Straining mechanism
    (b) Clamps
    (c) Load and elongation recording mechanism(s)
    4.1.1 Straining mechanism. A machine wherein the specimen is held by two
    clamps and subjected to strain by a uniform movement of the pulling clamp.
    4.1.1.1 Unless otherwise specified in the procurement
    shall be adjusted so that the pulling clamp shall have a
    1.0 inches (76 25 mm) per minute.
    4.1.2 Clamps.

    4.1.2.1 Split drum. Unless otherwise specified in the procurement document,
    the machine shall have two clamps, split drum type as shown in Figure 4108 and
    the distance between the clamps (gage length) shall be 10 1/2 inches (254 mm
    13 mm) center to center.

    METHOD 4108
    4.1.2.2 Flat surface clamps. When clamps are specified other than split
    drum type the machine shall have two clamps with two jaws on each clamp.
    Each jaw face shall have a flat, smooth gripping surface.
    The design shall
    be such that one gripping surface or jaw may be an integral part of the
    rigid frame of the clamp or be fastened to allow a slight vertical movement
    while the other gripping surface or jaw shall be completely movable.
    Unless
    otherwise specified the dimension of the jaws parallel to the application of
    the load shall measure one inch (25 mm) and the dimension of the jaws perpendicular
    to this direction shall be greater than the width of the specimen being tested.
    All edges which might cause a cutting action shall be rounded to a radius not
    greater than 1/64 inch (0.4 mm). The test specimen shall be a minimum of 6
    inches (152 mm). The pulling clamp shall have a uniform speed 12 0.5 inches
    (305 13 mm) per minute. Unless otherwise specified, the distance between the
    jaws (gage length) shall be 3 inches (76 mm) at the start of the test.
    4.1.3 Load recording mechanism(s). Calibrated chart, dial or scale to
    indicate applied load. Unless otherwise specified for load determination,
    the machine shall be adjusted or set so that the maximum load required to
    break the specimen shall remain indicated on the calibrated chart, dial
    or scale after the specimen has ruptured.
    4.1
    0
    4 Capacity. The machine shall be of such capacity that the maximum
    load required to break the specimen shall be not greater than 85 percent or
    less than 15 percent of the rated capacity.
    4.1.5 Machine efficiency. The error of the machine shall not exceed 2
    percent for loads up to and including 50 pounds (223 N) and shall not exceed
    1 percent for loads greater than 50 pounds (223 N).
    5. PROCEDURE
    5.1 Reparation of specimen.
    5.1.1 Unless otherwise specified in the procurement document, the specimens
    tested shall be conditioned and tested under standard conditions in accordance
    with Section 4 of this Standard.
    5.1.2 When it is required that the elongation of the specimen shall be deter-
    mined, two fine ink marks shall be placed on the specimens spaced five inches
    (127 mm) apart. The marks shall be placed in such a manner that neither mark
    is closer than 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) to each clamp when the specimen is mounted
    in the clamps.
    5.2 The specimen shall be placed in the clamps of the machine with the
    long dimension parallel to the application of the load. When measurement
    of elongation is required a slight tension or a specific load required by
    the applicable procurement document shall be applied to the specimen as it is
    placed in the clamps and the two, fine ink marks shall not be closer than
    1-1/2 inches (38 mm) to either clamp.

    METHOD 4108
    5.3 Breaking strength. Force shall be applied to the specimen at such a
    rate that the clamp through which the force is applied will move at a rate of
    3.0 1.0 inches (76 25 mm) per minute until the specimen is ruptured. After
    rupture of the specimen, the breaking load shall be read from the dial, scale
    or chart and the value recorded.
    5.4 Elongation. Elongation shall be determined on the same specimen being
    tested for breaking strength. The equipment will be stopped and the distance
    between the two fine ink marks measured with calipers at the load level
    specified in the applicable procurement document and recorded.
    5.5 If a specimen slips between the clamps, breaks in or at the edges of
    the clamps, or if for any reason attributable to faulty technique, an individual
    measurement falls markedly below the average test result for the sample unit,
    such result shall be discarded and another specimen shall be tested.
    6. REPORT
    6.1 The breaking strength of the sample unit shall be the average of
    the results obtained from the five specimens tested and shall be reported
    separately as follows:
    Breaking strength Reported to nearest
    6.2
    tested
    0-500 lbs (0-2220 N) 1 lb (1 N)
    501 and up (2221 N and up) 5 lbs (10 N)
    The elongation of the sample unit shall be the average
    and shall be reported to the nearest 1.0 percent. The
    of the specimens
    report shall
    state that elongation was measured at break or at the load specified.
    6.3 Each individual value used to calculate the average shall also be
    reported.
