*corp 01M-01-218Adidas: Seam Slippage – Woven Fabrics
To determine the resistance of seams to slip or break down when placed under a continuous load.
The standard seam opening of 5mm is calculated by comparing the elongation of the un-seamed sample to the seamed sample, i.e. when the seamed sample is extended 5mm more than the extended un seamed sample, a constant rate of extension tensile machine will record the load at which this occurs.
