Nonwovens — Test methods — Part 5: Determination of resistance to mechanical penetration (ball burst procedure)

Nontissés — Méthodes d’essai — Partie 5: Détermination de la résistance à la pénétration mécanique (méthode d’éclatement à la bille)

Abstract / scope

This document specifies a method for determining the resistance to mechanical penetration of nonwoven fabrics by a ball of a given diameter.

The method is primarily designed to be used on nonwovens with some degree of elasticity, for which a regular burst test does not apply.
