Surfaces for sports areas - Determination of tensile strength of synthetic yarns EN 13864:2004

Publication date:   Dec 27, 2006

Scope

This European Standard describes two methods for the determination of the tensile properties of pile yarns in the construction of synthetic turf. Method A is used for determining the tensile properties of synthetic yarns taken from packages prior to the manufacture of synthetic turf. Method B is used for determining the tensile properties of pile yarns from the manufactured synthetic turf. The results from the two methods are not comparable and method B is less accurate.
