26、r textile terms used in this testmethod, refer to Terminology D 123.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A sample or specimen of wool or material made of woolis weighed, then stabilized in the laboratory atmosphere inwhich the specimen is prepared, and reweighed. Any resultingchange in mass is used to calcu
27、late the original moisturecontent of the sample or specimen from the results observed onthe stabilized specimen.4.2 The specimen is immersed in water-saturated toluenewhich is then heated, the distilled water vapor and solventvapor are condensed and collected in a graduated trap, whereinthe water se
28、parates and settles to the bottom. After cooling ina water bath to achieve a specified temperature, the volume ofwater collected in the trap is read from the graduated trap andconverted to its equivalent weight.4.3 Results are calculated as percent moisture content orpercent moisture regain using th
29、e appropriate equation.5. Significance and Use5.1 Test Method D 2462 for testing for moisture in wool isconsidered satisfactory for acceptance testing of commercialshipments since current estimates of between-laboratory pre-cision are acceptable.5.1.1 In case of a dispute arising from differences in
30、reported test results when using Test Method D 2462 foracceptance testing of commercial shipments, the purchaser andthe supplier should conduct comparative testing to determine ifthere is a statistical bias between their laboratories. Competentstatistical assistance is recommended for the investigat
31、ion ofthe bias. As a minimum, the two parties should take a group oftest specimens that are as homogenous as possible and that arefrom a lot of the type material in question. The test specimensshould be assigned in equal numbers to each laboratory fortesting. The average results from the two laborat
32、ories should becompared using Students t-Test for unpaired data and anacceptance probability level chosen by the two parties beforethe test is begun. If a bias is found, either its cause must befound and corrected or the purchaser and the supplier mustagree to interpret future test results in light
33、of the known bias.5.2 This test method is the preferred method for all suitablesamples of wool where it is important to obtain a result freefrom the possible biases, introduced by the conditions dis-cussed in 5.3 and 5.4.5.3 This test method is free from the interferences caused bydifferent conditio
34、ns of ambient atmosphere such as might affectthe results of oven-drying.Aslight amount of residual moisturemay be retained in a specimen subjected to oven-dryingbecause of the relative humidity of the ambient air; however,the amount of moisture retained may be estimated frompublished data.45.4 This
35、test method is free from the interference caused bynonaqueous volatile material. Such material, when present, iserroneously measured as moisture by oven-drying methods, theextent of the error depending upon the amount and character-istics of any added oils or finishes.5.5 This test method is relativ
36、ely cumbersome, time con-suming, and costly compared to oven-drying, and is notrecommended for routine process control, in-plant evaluations,or for other purposes where a high degree of accuracy is notnecessary. The cost of operation can be reduced somewhat by4Toner, R. K., Bowen, C. F., and Whitwel

C., “Equilibrium MoistureRelations for Textile Fibers,” Textile Research Journal, 17, January 1947, 1718.D 2462 90 (2008)2redistilling the used toluene, which is then suitable for reusewithout further treatment.5.6 Unlike an oven-drying method, any moisture gained orlost by a specimen after it
38、s mass has been determined willappear as a direct error in the final result. Since one of theprincipal uses of the method is to determine the averagemoisture present in large lots of wool or wool products exposedto variable atmospheric conditions, numerous laboratorysamples and test specimens are co
39、mmon. To avoid errors of thetype mentioned above, this procedure includes provisions forstabilizing the sample(s) in the laboratory atmosphere so that,during the time necessary for selecting, weighing, and trans-ferring the specimens to flasks, gain or loss of moisture whichcannot be accounted for w
40、ill be minimized. A further advan-tage of the stabilizing process is realized in cases where theinterest is solely in the average moisture content of the sample,and the actual moisture content within the sample is highlyvariable. By stabilizing the sample before selecting the speci-mens, equal preci
41、sion can be achieved with fewer specimens.6.
