A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 These test methods cover th

3、e measurement of fabricmass per unit area (weight) and is applicable to most fabrics.1.2 There are four approved options:1.2.1 Option AFull Piece, Roll, Bolt or Cut (Section 7).1.2.2 Option BFull Width Sample (Section 8).1.2.3 Option CSmall Swatch of Fabric (Section 9).1.2.4 Option DNarrow Fabrics (

Option AFull Piece, Roll, Bolt, or Cut7.1 Significance and Use7.1.1 OptionAfor the determination of 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

18、 a dispute arising from differences inreported test values when using Test Methods D3776 foracceptance testing of commercial shipments, the purchaser andthe supplier should conduct comparative tests to determine ifthere is a statistical bias between their laboratories. Competentstatistical assistanc

19、e is recommended for the investigation ofbias. As a minimum, the two parties should take a group of testspecimens which are as homogeneous as 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 fo

20、r testing. The average results from the twolaboratories should be compared using students t-test forunpaired data and an acceptable probability 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 mus

21、t agree to interpret future test results in the light ofthe known bias.7.2 SamplingAs a lot sample for acceptance testing, takeat random the number of rolls of fabric as directed in anapplicable material specification or other agreement betweenthe purchaser and the supplier. Consider rolls of fabric

22、 to be theprimary sampling units. Consider the rolls of fabric in the lotsample as the laboratory sample and as the test specimens.7.3 Procedure:7.3.1 Measure the length of the full piece, roll, bolt, or cutby the hand procedure in Test Method D3773.7.3.2 Measure the width by the tension-free altern
