Celanese Corporation is a Fortune 500 global technology and specialty materials company with its headquarters in Dallas, Texas, United States.
A chloride, such as carbon tetrachloride, containing four atoms of chlorine.
Industry:Textiles
Para-phthalic acid, (C<sub>6</sub>H4(COOH)<sub>2</sub>). Used to produce polyester resins, fibers, and films by combination with glycols.
Industry:Textiles
A machine that dries fabric to a specified width under tension. The machine consists essentially of a pair of endless chains on horizontal tracks. The fabric is held firmly at the edges by pins or clips on the two chains that diverge as they advance through the heated chamber, adjusting the fabric to the desired width.
Industry:Textiles
A method of measuring the resistance of a yarn or fabric to a force tending to stretch the specimen in one direction.
Industry:Textiles
The resistance to deformation developed within a specimen subjected to tension by external force. The tensile stress is commonly expressed in two ways, either as (1) the tensile strength, i.e., the force per unit cross-sectional area of the unstrained specimen, or as (2) tenacity, i.e., the force per unit linear density of the unstrained specimen. The latter is more frequently used in textile testing.
Industry:Textiles
1. In general, the strength shown by a specimen subjected to tension as distinct from torsion, compression, or shear. 2. Specifically, the maximum tensile stress expressed in force per unit cross-sectional area of the unstrained specimen, e.g., kilograms per square millimeter, pounds per square inch.
Industry:Textiles
The relative length deformation exhibited by a specimen subjected to a tensile force. Strain may be expressed as a fraction of the nominal gauge length or as a percentage.
Industry:Textiles
A complex load-elongation, or stress-strain curve obtained:
(1) when a specimen is successively subjected to the application of a load or stress less than that causing rupture and to the removal of the load or stress according to a predetermined procedure; or (2) when a specimen is stretched less than the breaking elongation and allowed to relax by removal of the strain according to a predetermined procedure.
Industry:Textiles
The weight of all external and internal packing material (including bobbins, tubes, etc.) of a case, bale, or other type of container.
