Mullen and Hydraulic Burst Testing
topic
Mullen burst testing inflates a rubber diaphragm against a clamped fabric specimen until rupture, measuring resistance to omnidirectional pressure; hydraulic variants use fluid pressure directly, both methods revealing isotropic strength characteristics independent of yarn orientation.
Role
Critical for evaluating knitted fabrics, nonwovens, and coated textiles where multiaxial loading occurs in use, supporting quality control in medical, filtration, and protective clothing manufacture.
