Uniaxial vs Woven

kN/m - measured force per width of material.
Example - https://www.convertunits.com/from/kN/m/to/lb/ft - Menards Uniaxial - [1].
- In this example, we have 3600 lb/ft tensile strenght for uniaxial. If 5.6 oz fabric is about 250 lb grab tensile, that makes it about 1500-3000 lb/ft, probably around 2500 lb/ft. Ton per foot! Good. Not much worse than uniaxial.

A 2 square inch piece of the fabric is grabbed with each 2 sq in jaw, in the middle of the fabric. [2]
Thus, it is effectively comparable to grabbing a small section, so the real tensile strength will be many factors of this if you use a full width. Effectively, the max distance that adjoining fibers help is only up to 4", since the test is done on a 4x8 piece of material.
Thus, every 4", the material has at least the grab tensile strength, and likely close to 4x more. Strip tensile is not much lower than grab tensile strenght - [3].
