ISO 13937-1 is a standard used for measuring the tear strength of textiles using the tongue tear method. This test involves cutting a rectangular sample with a tongue-shaped slit and then applying force to the sample in the direction perpendicular to the slit until it tears. The peak force required to tear the sample is recorded as the tear strength.

The standard specifies the testing procedure, including sample preparation, equipment calibration, and test conditions. It also provides guidelines for reporting the test results, including the tear force and the direction of tear propagation.

This standard is widely used in the textile industry to evaluate the tear resistance of fabrics and garments. It is important for manufacturers to comply with this standard to ensure consistent and reliable measurement of tear strength, which is a crucial factor in determining the durability and quality of textile products.

NextGen’s NG-HE Elmendorf complies with EN ISO 13937-1 standard.
