GB/T 3917.5-2009 Textiles - Tear properties of fabrics - Part 5: Determination of tear force of wing-shaped test specimens (Single tear method) (English Version)
This part of GB/T 3917 describes a single tear method to determine fabric tear force, known as the wing test using a test specimen cut to form two wings for clamping inclined at a defined angle to the thread direction. The tear force measured is the force required to propagate a previously started tear.
The test is mainly applicable to woven textile fabrics. It may be applicable to fabrics produced by other techniques. Due to the clamping of the specimen wings inclined to the threads to be torn the test can be used for most types of fabrics without causing a transfer of tear and it is less susceptible to withdrawal of threads than other tear tests.
In general the method is not applicable to knitted fabrics, woven elastic fabrics and nonwovens, to which the trapezoidal test method is preferably applied.
The method only allows the use of constant-rate-of-extension (CRE) testing machines.

3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this part of GB/T 3917, the following terms and definitions apply.
Tensile-testing machine where one clamp is stationary whilst the other is moving with a constant speed throughout the test.
3.2 Gauge length
Distance between the two effective clamping points of a testing device.
Note: The effective clamping points (or lines) of jaws can be checked by clamping a test specimen under defined pretension with carbon copy paper.
3.3 Tear force
Force required to propagate a tear initiated under the specified conditions.
Note: The tear force is qualified as "across warp" or "across weft" according to whether the tear is made across the warp (warp threads are torn) or weft threads (weft threads are torn) respectively.
