KU18 module - Tests of tire cords and industrial filament yarns (D885/D885M-10a)

Take your testing to the next level – available as an add-on module

Description

These test methods cover the testing of industrial filament yarns made wholly of manufactured organic-base fibers, cords twisted from such yarns, fabrics woven from such cords, and products that are made specifically for use in the manufacture of pneumatic tires.
