7、ric mass per unit area is expressedeither as grams per square metre (ounces per square yard), orgrams per linear metre (ounces per linear yard). Fabric mass isalso sometimes expressed inversely as linear metres perkilograms (yards per pound) with the fabric width stated.3.2 For definitions of other
8、textile terms used in these testmethods, refer to Terminology D 123.4. Summary of Test Methods4.1 Fabric mass is calculated from the mass of a specimenthe length and width of which have been measured as directedin one of the procedures in Test Method D 3773 and D 3774.5. Apparatus5.1 Scale, with a c
9、apacity and sensitivity sufficient to weighthe full piece, roll, bolt, or cut units to within 60.1 % of theirgross mass. The accuracy of the scale should be certified by arecognized authority.5.2 Balance, having a capacity and sensitivity to weighwithin 60.1 % of the mass of the specimens being test
10、ed.5.3 Cutting Die, either square or round with an area of atleast 13 cm2or 4 in.26. Conditioning6.1 Condition test specimens as directed in Practice D 1776.6.2 All weighing tests should be made in the standardatmosphere for testing textiles (20 6 1C (70 6 2F),65 6 2 % RH), after the specimens have
11、been conditioned inthe same atmosphere. It may be impractical to condition thespecimens in Option A or nonconditioned testing may beagreed upon by the purchaser and supplier. When the full rollsor bolts of fabric cannot be properly conditioned in a reason-able time with available facilities, perform
12、 the tests withoutconditioning and report the actual conditions prevailing at thetime of the test. Such results may not correspond with theresults obtained after testing adequately conditioned specimensin the standard atmosphere for testing textiles.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of

Option AFull Piece, Roll, Bolt, or Cut7.1 Significance and Use7.1.1 OptionAfor the determination of
16、mass per unit area ofwoven fabrics may be used for acceptance testing of commer-cial shipments since it has been used extensively in the trade.7.1.2 In case of a dispute arising from differences inreported test values when using Test Methods D 3776 foracceptance testing of commercial shipments, the
17、purchaser andthe supplier should conduct comparative tests to determine ifthere is a statistical bias between their laboratories. Competentstatistical assistance is recommended for the investigation ofbias. As a minimum, the two parties should take a group of testspecimens which are as homogeneous a
18、s possible and whichare from a lot of material of the type in question. The testspecimens should then be randomly assigned in equal numbersto each laboratory for testing. The average results from the twolaboratories should be compared using students t-test forunpaired data and an acceptable probabil
19、ity level chosen by thetwo parties before testing is begun. If a bias is found, either itscause must be found and corrected or the purchaser and thesupplier must agree to interpret future test results in the light ofthe known bias.7.2 SamplingAs a lot sample for acceptance testing, takeat random the
20、 number of rolls of fabric as directed in anapplicable material specification or other agreement betweenthe purchaser and the supplier. Consider rolls of fabric to be theprimary sampling units. Consider the rolls of fabric in the lotsample as the laboratory sample and as the test specimens.7.3 Proce
