Specification Requirements4.1 The properties of knitted fabrics for womens and girlsblouses and dresses shal

16、l conform to the specification require-ments in Table 1.5. Significance and Use5.1 Upon mutual agreement between the purchaser and theseller, fabrics intended for this end use should meet all of therequirements listed in Table 1 of this specification.5.2 It is recognized that for purposes of fashion

17、 oraesthetics, the ultimate consumer of articles made from thesefabrics may find acceptable fabrics that do not conform to allof the requirements in Table 1. Therefore, one or more of therequirements listed in Table 1 may be modified by mutualagreement between the purchaser and the seller.5.2.1 In s

18、uch cases, any references to the specification shallspecify that: “This fabric meets ASTM SpecificationD4235except for the following characteristic(s).”5.3 Where no prepurchase agreement has been reachedbetween the purchaser and the seller, and in case ofcontroversy, the requirements listed in Table

19、 1 are intended tobe used as a guide only. As noted in 5.2, ultimate consumerdemands dictate varying performance parameters for anyparticular style of fabric.5.4 The uses and significance of particular properties andtest methods are discussed in the appropriate sections of thespecified test methods.

20、6. Sampling6.1 Lot SampleAs a lot sample for acceptance testing, takeat random the number of rolls as directed in an applicablespecification or other agreement between the purchaser and thesupplier, such as an agreement to use MIL-STD-105D.6.2 Laboratory SampleFrom each roll or piece in the lotsampl

21、e, cut two laboratory samples the full width of the fabricand at least 375 mm (15 in.) along the selvage.7. Test Methods (See Note 1)7.1 Bursting StrengthDetermine the bursting strength asdirected in Test Method D3786 or Test Method D3787 asagreed between the purchaser and the seller.NOTE 2Care shou

22、ld be taken to subtract the tare diaphragm pressurefrom the gross pressure to obtain actual bursting strength of fabric whenusing the diaphragm bursting tester. Calibrate the equipment according tomanufacturers instruction before use. Since there is no overall correlationbetween the results obtained

23、 with the CRT machine equipped with abursting attachment and the diaphragm bursting tester, these two burstingtesters cannot be used interchangeably. In case of controversy, TestMethod D3786 shall prevail.NOTE 3The precision of the ball burst method using the CRT machineequipped with a bursting atta

24、chment and the precision of the diaphragmbursting tester method are being established by Subcommittee D13.59.The methods are accordingly not recommended for acceptance testingunless preceded by an interlaboratory check test in the laboratory of thepurchaser and the laboratory of the seller using ran

If th

32、e difference between the percent stretch ofthe laundered fabric and the percent shrinkage due to launder-ing does not exceed 3 % shrinkage, then the fabric meets thespecification requirement in Table 1.7.2.2 DrycleaningDetermine the maximum dimensionalchange after three drycleanings, or as agreed be

33、tween thepurchaser and the seller, as directed in Sections 10.1.3 through10.1.4.5 of Test Methods D2724.NOTE 4Launderable fabrics are expected to be drycleanable exceptwhere all or part of the fabric is not drycleanable and is so labeled. Forexample, the fabric could contain a functional finish solu

34、ble in the solvent,or the fiber could be degraded by the solvent, which would be the casewith poly (vinyl chloride) fiber. “Drycleanable” goods are to be dry-cleaned only.7.3 Colorfastness:7.3.1 Burnt Gas FumesDetermine the colorfastness toburnt gas fumes on the original fabric and after one launder
