Tensile testing is the 
				most commonly applied test method for analyzing the mechanical 
				properties of fabric materials. Although the direction of 
				applied force is always in tension, there are a variety of 
				tensile test methods available for capturing the most relevant 
				data for final product usage.

The strip test is a 
				tensile test in which the full width of the test specimen is 
				gripped in the tensile grip jaws of a universal testing machine. 
				During this test, tensile force is applied on the fabric 
				specimen until it ruptures.
