Revised Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 6/Sec 2) (Third Revision) which is identical with ISO 3303-2 : 2020 'Rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics - Determination of bursting strength - Part 2: Hydraulic method' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation(s) of the Methods of Test for Rubber and Rubber Products Sectional Committee and approval of the Petroleum, Coal and Related Products Division Council.

The bursting strength of coated fabrics is often used as a measure of the multidirectional modulus of the material, as opposed to tensile properties which only provide guidance to the coated-fabric strength in one plane. In addition, bursting strength is more appropriate for testing materials prone to necking, such as coated fabrics with knitted substrates.
