BURST TESTING
Burst Testers are used as a multi-directional tensile test
to identify failure in the direction of least resistance
for evaluating physical strength and fiber bond. Models
are available to test a variety of materials. These
models can also be fitted with a device to measure the
deflection of the sample prior to burst.

The rubber diaphragms with specific thickness and
shore hardness must have a bulge versus pressure
pattern within the tolerance of the standards related to
the type of material tested.

The Burst tester is designed to meet international
standards for tests on paper, foils, paper boards,
corrugated board, textiles etc.
OPERATION
The Burst Tester is designed for measuring the
bursting strength of fabric materials subjected to an
increasing hydrostatic pressure. This pressure is applied
to a circular region of the specimen via an elastic
diaphragm. The specimen is firmly held round the edge
of this circular region by a pneumatic clamping device.
When the pressure is applied, the specimen deforms
together with the diaphragm. The bursting strength
corresponds to the maximum pressure supported by
the specimen before failure. Identical, in the principle
to the multi-directional tensile test, Ball Burst Method
for Fabrics, this measurement is independent from
the cutting direction of the sample (machine or cross)
since the failure naturally occurs in the least resistance
direction.

APPLICATIONS
• Textiles, Fibers, Non-woven’s, Polyester, Fabrics
and Felts etc.
• Strength, stiffness, dye ability, resilience, fatigue
elasticity, orientation and crystallinity.
