  • Tensile Testing: This test involves pulling a fiber to its breaking point to determine its tensile strength and elongation at break. The fiber is secured between two grips and subjected to a controlled pulling force until it breaks. Tensile testing is used to determine the fiber’s strength and its ability to withstand strain.

    Abrasion Testing: This test involves rubbing a fiber against a rough surface to determine its abrasion resistance. The fiber is rubbed against a specified surface with a specified weight and force, and the amount of fiber loss is measured. Abrasion testing is used to determine the durability of a fiber.

    Flexural Testing: This test involves bending a fiber to determine its flexural strength and modulus of elasticity. The fiber is supported at two points and subjected to a bending force until it breaks. Flexural testing is used to determine the fiber’s stiffness and flexibility.

    Impact Testing: This test involves dropping a weight onto a fiber to determine its impact strength. The fiber is clamped to a support and a weight is dropped onto it from a specified height. The amount of energy absorbed by the fiber is measured. Impact testing is used to determine the fiber’s ability to withstand sudden shocks.

    Compression Testing: This test involves compressing a fiber to determine its compressive strength and modulus of elasticity. The fiber is placed between two plates and subjected to a compressive force until it buckles. Compression testing is used to determine the fiber’s ability to withstand compressive forces.
