TY - JOUR TI - RAPID MEASUREMENT OF TENSILE PROPERTIES OF FIBER BUNDLES .2. EXAMPLES OF EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS AU - ONIONS, WJ AU - OXENHAM, W AU - TOWNHILL, PA T2 - JOURNAL OF THE TEXTILE INSTITUTE AB - An account is given of the use of the bundle tester described in Part I of this series to determine the breaking force, work of rupture, and elongation at break of various textile specimens. Typical results (which include tests on wool staples and semi-processed materials) are reported.

APPARATUS AU - ONIONS, WJ AU - OXENHAM, W AU - TOWNHILL, PA T2 - JOURNAL OF THE TEXTILE INSTITUTE AB - Abstract A description is given of the construction and operation of a low-cost tester designed specifically to provide a rapid measurement of the tensile properties of wool-fibre bundles. The displacement of a cantilever beam is monitored by a transducer, and the ensuing electrical output is related to specimen breaking force, work of rupture, and elongation.
