1.1 This test method measures the sewn seam strength in woven fabrics by applying a force perpendicular to the sewn seams. 1.1.1 The axis perpendicular to the sewn seam can represent either the warp yarn axis or filling yarn axis, the same axis tested when using grab Test Method D5034. 1.1.1.1 This test method is applicable to sewn seams obtained from a previously sewn article or seams sewn with fabric samples using one of two specific seam assemblies as shown in Table 1. (A) A complete description of seam types and stitch types can be found in Practice D6193. 1.2 This test method is used when the maximum breaking force measurement to rupture of a woven fabric sewn seam is required. 1.2.1 This test method is used when the seam efficiency measurement of a woven fabric sewn seam is required. 1.2.2 This test method is used to identify the sewn seam strength threshold at which the failure of the stitching occurs, without damage to the fabric, so that the textile product can be repaired. 1.2.3�
