3、escribes the measurement for burstingstrength with a ball burst strength tester of textiles or garmentsthat exhibit a high degree of ultimate elongation.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system are not neces
4、sarily exact equivalents;therefore,toensure conformance with the standard,each system shall beused independently of the other,and values from the twosystems shall not be combined.NOTE1For the measurement of bursting strength with a hydraulictesting machine,refer to Test Method D3786.NOTE2Constant Ra
