(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Tension Strength of Sew-Through Flange Buttons
Standard Test Method for Tension Strength of Sew-Through Flange Buttons
SCOPE
1.1 This test method measures the resistance of the bridge of a sew-through button to a steadily increasing strain.
1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as the standard. Within the text, the inch-pound units are shown in parentheses. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the practice.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
