Basic characteristics of basalt filaments are described. The main aim of this study is to explore tensile strength distribution based on experimental data. To select the appropriate failure risk function, the maximum likelihood method and methods based on order statistics are used. The use of basalt filaments in sewing thread constructions is also discussed.
