TALI SERAT BERBAHAN DASAR SERAT ALAMI TANAMAN LIDAH MERTUA (Sansevieria trifasciata laurentii)
ABSTRACT: Fiber of Sansevieria
has characteristics of not easily fragile, shiny, long, and good quality. This
study was aimed to make and to examine the quality of rope made from “Lidah
Mertua” leaf fiber (Sansevieria trifasciata laurentii). This research was conducted
by literature study, spinning the rope using spinners simple tool, tensile test
and parameters observation. Parameters measured were tensile strength, strain,
elasticity, rope deformation, and flexing. Results of the research indicated that
each substance tested with the same weight produced different string diameter.
Average values of examinated ropes was 1,2 g weight, diameter was 4,26 mm,
length was 34 mm, elongation was 17,2159 mm, maximum loaded was 659,2695 N, cross
section was 14,31 mm2, elongation at break of tensile strength was 46,85 N/mm2,
strain was 0,5063, elasticity was 92,5322 N/mm2, ropes deformation was 17,2159
mm and flexing was 50,63 %.
