Definitions for "Burst Strength"
(1) Hydraulic pressure required to burst a vessel of given thickness. Commonly used in testing filament-wound composite structures. (2) Pressure required to break a fabric by expanding a flexible diaphram or pushing a smooth spherical surface against a securely held circular area of fabric. The Mullen expanding diaphram and Scott ball burst machine are examples of equipment used for this purpose.
The ability of the filter medium to withstand disruption by pressure applied in the direction of normal flow.
The amount of internal pressure a piece of pipe or a fitting will hold before breaking.
The force that requires to be applied in order to burst (cut) the face material of a laminate. The burst strength of the liner should be higher than that for the face material.
