This standard describes a hydraulic method for the determination of bursting strength and bursting distension of textile fabrics. In this part a hydraulic pressure is applied using a constant rate of pumping device. Note prEN ISO 13938-2 describes a method using pneumatic pressure. The method is applicable to knitted, woven, nonwoven and laminated fabrics. It may be suitable for fabrics produced by other techniques. The test is suitable for test specimens in the conditioned or wet state.
