Textile Testing Lab

  In industrial applications, chords and yarns are often subjected to intense mechanical stresses. Whether used in lifting, securing loads, or as integral components in safety equipment, the breaking strength of chords is a critical factor that ensures operational safety, reliability, and durability. Accurate and reliable testing of breaking strength is therefore indispensable for manufacturers and end-users alike. In this blog, we explore why testing the breaking strength of chords is vital for industrial uses, the testing methodologies involved, relevant standards, and how proper testing supports quality assurance and regulatory compliance. Why Breaking Strength Testing Matters in Industrial Chords Industrial chords serve a variety of functions, such as: Lifting and rigging ropes Safety harnesses and fall arrest systems Load securing and towing cables Marine and construction applications All these uses demand that chords withstand high tensile forces without failure.

  In the textile industry, yarns and chords form the backbone of fabric production. The quality and durability of these fundamental materials significantly impact the performance and lifespan of finished textile products. One critical but often overlooked factor affecting yarn and chord durability is their moisture content . Proper moisture content testing is essential to ensure yarns and chords maintain optimal physical properties throughout manufacturing and end-use. In this blog, we will explore why moisture content testing is vital for yarn and chord durability, how it influences textile quality, and the testing methods that laboratories employ to guarantee product excellence. Understanding Moisture Content in Yarns and Chords Moisture content refers to the amount of water present in yarns or chords, expressed as a percentage of their total weight. Natural fibers like cotton, wool, and hemp typically retain a certain amount of moisture due to their hydrophilic nature, whereas...
