| ASTM D1388 | This test method covers the measurement of stiffness properties of fabrics. Bending length is measured and flexural rigidity is calculated. | |

| ASTM D2136 | Fabrics coated with rubber or rubber-like materials display increased stiffening when exposed to decreasing ambient temperatures.
