Static tearing is one of the most common types of failure in textile fabrics and determines the durability of an article. The tear resistance is the strength parameter, which characterizes the textile product with respect to its resistance to outer mechanical forces. In the presented work, we describe in detail the problem of static tear strength in woven fabrics. In the first part, the meaning of the tear strength in an assessment of textiles, particularly with reference to the present day, is presented.

Key Words: standards • static tearing • testing methods • woven fabrics
