ZHTest Method: SATRA TM180
Measurement of the strength of stitched seams in upper and lining materials
November 2016
SCOPE
This method is intended to measure the breaking strength of stitched seams in shoe upper and lining materials. The method is applicable to seams cut from shoes or made up to simulate footwear constructions, but can also be used with seams cut from any stitched product. An alternative method is specified in Annex A for the platform cover on slippers with platform soles.
PRINCIPLE
A test specimen containing a stitched seam is gradually stretched by a tensile machine in a direction perpendicular to the seam until failure occurs. The breaking strength and type of failure are determined.
