A series of jute hessian fabrics was woven in which the warp and weft components were varied systematically, and appropriate measurements, i.e., fabric mass per unit area, breaking load, extension at break, and bursting pressure, were made to explore the relationships with the fabric structure and the properties of constituent yarns. The breaking loads at the higher weft linear densitites were greater in relation to the breaking load of the single yarns than those at the lower linear densities. The extension at break of the fabric ranged between 4.45% and 4.78%. The bursting pressure of the fabric changed at the rate of 1.4 kN/m2 for a change of 1 pick/cm.
