Fishing nets — Determination of breaking load and knot breaking load of netting yarns

The tests may be carried out in both the dry and wet states but tests in wet state on the knotted yarn are considered to be particularly appropriate in indicating the behaviour of the yarn in use. A length of yarn is extended in the dry or wet state until it reaches the load at rupture. The test is performed using a suitable apparatus that records or indicates the applied load. - Replaces ISO Recommendation R 1805-1970.
