Line Tensile Strength?

Out of curiosity does anyone know if there are any independent studies on different lines from different manufacturers on tensile strength? Like every line company has a line they claim has superior tensile strength for the diameter and some will post it on their website but I'm not sure if I completely trust info coming from the manufacturer themselves. I'm mainly curious about monofilament. I'm looking for a good thin diameter mono to use for leader line and I guess just trying to get some more detailed info on it.

    Back in 07, a guy that goes by the handle VHawk (Vince Hawkins) did some extensive testing. Believe he re-did his results in 2010, but I didn't have that bookmarked:
