Expert Commentary
Standard for Failure in Sewn Seams of Woven Fabrics. It compares the strength of the seam to the strength of the base fabric. The hardware requirement is Pneumatic Action grips with rubber-faced jaws. Mechanical grips often relax during the test, leading to slippage. MTO’s pneumatic grips maintain a constant clamping pressure even as the fabric thins under load. Our software automatically calculates the Seam Efficiency, a critical metric for the apparel and automotive upholstery industries to ensure that the stitching is appropriately matched to the fabric’s tensile capacity.
