Fishing nets — Determination of mesh breaking load of netting ISO 1806:1973

Publication date:   Jul 1, 1973

Scope

The tests may be carried out in both the dry and wet states but tests in wet state are considered to be particularly appropriate in indicating the behaviour of the netting in use. A mesh is extended in the dry or wet state until one of the knots or joints reaches the load at rupture. The test is performed using a suitable apparatus that records or indicates the applied load. - Replaces ISO Recommendation R 1806-1970.
