Determines the bursting strength of knitted and other non-woven
fabrics by the diaphragm pressure procedure. Although it may
also be used with woven fabrics, it should be noted that for such
materials it is the breaking strength of the less extensible set
of yarns that governs the value of bursting strength observed.
The extensibility of the diaphragm limits the use of this
procedure to materials less extensible than the diaphragm itself.
