Test used to assess the tear resistance of fabric materials, specifically trouser-shaped specimens. In this test, a fabric sample shaped like a trouser leg is subjected to a controlled force, inducing a tear along a single path. The force required to initiate and propagate the tear is measured, providing insight into the fabric’s ability to withstand tearing forces. This test is relevant in evaluating the durability of fabrics used in garments like pants and other similar applications, where tear resistance is essential for maintaining the integrity of the clothing during use.
