18、f sliver (see 7.1.4). Combine these portionsto form a composite sliver about 2 ft in length. This constitutesthe test specimen.8.3 TopEach of the four sections of sliver comprising thesample (see 7.1.5) constitutes a test specimen.8.4 YarnThe yarn sections (see 7.2) constitute the testspecimen.8.5 F
19、abricThe undisturbed piece of fabric or the teasedout yarns of the fabric (see 7.2) constitute the test specimen.9. Calibration of Microprojector9.1 Adjust the microprojector to produce a magnification of5003 in the plane of the projected image. Do this by placinga stage micrometer on the stage of t
20、he microprojector andbringing the microscope into such adjustment that the lines ofthe micrometer are sharply focused in the center of the imageplane. An interval of 0.20 mm on the stage micrometer willthen measure 100 mm on the image plane, or 0.01 mm on themicrometer will measure 5 mm on the image
21、 plane. Allmeasurements must be made with the specimen in a plane atthe same distance from the stage as the lines on the stagemicrometer.10. Conditioning10.1 Precondition all test specimens to approximate equi-librium in an atmosphere having a relative humidity of 10 to25 % and a temperature of not
22、over 122F (50C), thencondition the samples for at least4hinthestandard atmo-sphere for testing textiles, 65 6 2 % relative humidity and 706 2F (21 6 1C), as directed in Practice D 1776.11. Test Provisions11.1 Separate observations shall be made by two operators.11.2 Each operator shall independently
23、 prepare at least oneslide for each test specimen.12. Preparation of Slides by Use of Heavy-Duty Cross-Section Device12.1 Compacting Specimen:FIG. 3 Wedge ScaleD 2130 90 (2001)412.1.1 Sliver Specimen At an area of the sliver, estimatedto be a full fiber length or more from the end, place thespecimen
24、 in the slot of the metal plate, compress with the key,and secure with the set screw.12.1.2 Bulk Specimen Draw small quantities of fiber atrandom, pack the assemblage of fibers into the slot, compressand secure as directed in 12.1.1.12.1.3 Yarn Specimen Pack the assemblage of yarn piecesinto the slo
25、t, compress, and secure as directed in 12.1.1.12.1.4 Fabric Specimen Pack the assemblage of warp orfilling yarn pieces or diagonal cuts of fabric into the slot,compress, and secure as directed in 12.1.1. If it is known thatwarp and filling yarns are identical, make a diagonal cut ineach of the fabri
26、c samples. Segregate the warp and filling yarnswhen of different or unknown composition and when necessaryto determine diameter and dispersion for each.12.2 Preliminary Sectioning of SpecimenCut off thegripped fibers at the upper and under surfaces of the plate.Extrude the fiber bundle about 0.50 mm
27、 to take up slack in thefibers and the propulsion mechanism. Moisten the projectingfibers with a few drops of mounting medium. With a sharprazor blade, cut off this projecting fiber bundle flush with theupper surface of the fiber-holding plate, and discard thesection.12.3 Final Sectioning of Specime
28、nAgain extrude the fiberbundle approximately 0.25 mm (250 m). With the razor blade,cut off the projecting fibers flush with the plate, leaving thefiber pieces adhering to the razor blade.12.4 Mounting the Fibers on the SlidePlace a few dropsof mounting medium on a clean glass slide. With a dissectin
29、gneedle, scrape the fiber pieces from the blade onto the slide.Thoroughly disperse the fibers in the oil with the dissectingneedle (Fig. 4), and cover the specimen with a cover glass.NOTE 5Use sufficient oil in the preparation of the slide to ensurethorough distribution of the fibers, but an excess
30、must be avoided, aspractically no oil should be permitted to flow out or be squeezed outbeyond the borders of the cover glass. If the number of fibers is too greatto permit proper distribution on the slide, or if an excess of oil has beenused, wipe away a portion of the mixture after thorough disper
31、sion of thefibers.13. Preparation of Slides by Use of the FRL Fiber Cutter13.1 Cutting Specimens:13.1.1 FabricUsing the equipment described in 6.3.3,with the razor blades in alignment and firmly secured, force theblades vertically downward into the warp fringe close to theedge of the fabric. Repeat
32、the operation for the filling yarns. Ifthe warp and filling yarns are the same, the cut may be madediagonally, sectioning the warp and filling yarns of the fabric atthe same time. Make a duplicate cut at the opposite side of thefabric. The individual cuts should include between 1500 and2000 fibers,
33、approximately 250 m long.13.1.2 Yarns and Other Fiber AssembliesCut the preparedwoolen or worsted yarn specimens with the pieces arrayed asa unit, or other specimens of yarn, roving, and the like, in amanner similar to the procedure described in 13.1.1.13.2 Release of Cut SectionsRelease the top pla
34、te of thedevice, then remove the blades, holding the ends between thethumb and forefinger of one hand. By careful separation of theblades, the fiber sections will adhere to the edge of either blade.13.3 Mounting the Fibers on the SlideSee 12.4.14. Procedure14.1 Measure fibers the same day a slide is
35、 prepared.14.2 Place the finished (prepared) slide on the microprojec-tor stage with the cover glass toward the objective (see 9.1).14.3 Plan the viewing traverses across the slide to ensurethat all portions under the glass are selected (sampled) for fibermeasurement.14.4 To measure a fiber, bring t
36、he midlength area into sharpfocus on the wedge scale. When correctly focused the fiberedges appear as fine lines, not as pronounced dark borders (Fig.5). However, the two edges of the fiber may not be in focus atthe same time. If both edges of the fiber are not uniformly infocus, adjust the focus so
37、 that one edge of the fiber appears asa fine line and the other edge shows as a bright line. FiberFIG. 4 Dispersion of Fibers on SlideD 2130 90 (2001)5image width is regarded as the distance between the fine linesof both edges when they are uniformly in focus, or the fine lineof one edge and the inn
38、er side of the bright line at the otheredge when they are not uniformly in focus.14.4.1 At the midlength area of the fiber, measure the widthof the image by marking the wedge at the point where thewidth of the wedge scale coincides with the width of the fiberimage (Fig. 6). Position the wedge scale
39、so the taper of thescale is opposite any taper in the fiber image.14.5 In the planned traverses, measure all fibers whosemidlength area comes within the field of a 4-in. (100-mm)diameter circle, centrally located in the projected area. Kempand med fibers which come within the field of measurement ar
40、eto be measured for fiber diameter. Exclude from measurementfiber images shorter than 100 mm (200 m fiber) or longer than150 mm (300 m fiber) and those having a distorted image. Ifthe width of a fiber image is less than or greater than the limitsof the wedge scale, project the fiber image onto the b
41、order ofthe wedge scale and draw lines which coincide with the edgesof the midlength area. Measure the distance between the linesin millimetres and convert to micrometres; 1 mm is equal to 2m at a magnification of 500x.15. Number of Fibers15.1 The number of fibers to be measured depends on thevariab
42、ility of the fiber diameters and the required or desiredprecision of the average. Calculate the number by using Eq 1:n 5 ts/E!2(1)where:n = number of fibers to be measured,s = standard deviation of fiber diameters,E = allowable variation of the mean, m, andt = 1.960, the value of Students t for infi
