A fabric-strength discussion should identify how the material was loaded. A result for one type of loading is not a universal strength rating.
ASTM lists distinct textile methods for breaking strength and tearing strength. ASTM — Textile standards catalogue.
Identify the actual requirement
For a material proposal, ask which failure or loading condition the evaluation is intended to address. Keep the method and specimen identity with the result rather than comparing isolated numbers labelled strength.
Preserve the assembly boundary
Material evidence does not automatically describe a finished join or attached component. Review the relevant construction separately where needed. The useful comparison is between appropriately selected evidence and the requirement it was intended to address.
