Puncture and Penetration Resistance
topic
Puncture resistance testing drives a probe, nail, or needle through a clamped fabric at controlled speed while measuring peak force and energy to penetration; probe geometry, speed, and lubrication conditions are standardised to simulate specific hazards such as thorns, needles, or sharp debris.
Role
Critical for evaluating protective gloves, medical barrier fabrics, geotextiles, and footwear materials where sharp object penetration represents a primary performance and safety requirement.
