Welcome to our new Instron Community Blog hosted by Instron. It is a compilation of the freshest, brightest, most-talented minds that Instron has to offer. The world of materials science is so vast and encompasses the broadest range of industries, materials, and challenges that no one person can possibly possess all the knowledge required to be the resident expert – or master of materials science. It takes a small army behind the scenes collaborating and sharing technical know-how, experiences, and ideas to present the most accurate, relevant, and timely information to you – our readers.

We invite you to tell us who you are, share your stories and talk about your experiences. Join the Instron Community.

Resolving the Issue of Seam Slippage in Tensile Testing

 
When evaluating seam strength and seam integrity in tensile testing, seam slippage can occur. Under a certain load, the warp and weft threads of a sewn seam start pulling away before the fabric itself ruptures. Due to this byproduct, the effect of fabric stretching needs to be "subtracted" from the equation. Learn how you can use Bluehill® testing software’s seam slippage calculation to easily account for this.
