Universal Strength and Elongation Testing Systems

KFG-2070 Overview

Fabric strength tests ensure that your fabric has the strength and integrity for its intended purpose. To ensure the high levels of accuracy and repeatability of results, we offer fabric strength testing systems specifically designed for precise fabric testing. All models have grade 0.5 load cells with high resolution readout and grips specifically designed for fabric testing that have no slippage or jaw breaks and ensure correct values are measured. Single and dual column testers from 1 kn (200lb) to 100 kn (20,000lb) capacity are available.

When testing the strength of fabrics it is essential that the grips used will hold the material without slippage or damaging the material. We offer a wide range of manual and pneumatic grips that are ideally suited for testing an extensive range of fabrics and similar materials. Your fabric strength tester can also be equipped for testing yarns, zippers, buttons and many other components.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
