Standard Test Method for Stitch Tear Strength, Single Hole

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This test method is intended to be used to rate leathers as to their stitch tear strengths.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method is intended for determining the stitch-tearing strength of leather with a tear originating from one hole. It is particularly applicable to heavy leather. This test method does not apply to wet blue.
1.2 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.
