ASTM D1424-09(2013) Standard Testing Instruments
ASTM D1424-09 (2013) is a standard test method for tearing strength of fabrics (falling pendulum method). Tearing strength is a stamina presented by a fabric in upping the tear after making a slit. It is widely used by the industries ranging from textiles, apparel, and technical fabrics to packaging and industrial materials to measure the durability, integrity, and uniformity of a fabric's performance when tested under controlled laboratory conditions.

Significance
ASTM D1424-09 is important because it provides a good method of quantifying the ability of fabric to withstand tearing under real-world conditions. Measurement of tear propagation resistance can provide detection of material weakness, validation of fabric construction quality, and reliability of its manufacture. It has proven to be very important, as it can be used for comparing batches of fabrics and qualifying raw materials and may be used as the criteria to ensure the maintenance of production standards when mechanical durability or fabric strength is considered to be a very important end-use performance requirement.
