2、n. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEThe last line of 5.3 was corrected editorially from “.or 4 in.2” to “.or 2 in.2” in April 2011.2NOTEThe standard atmosphere for testing t

3、extiles was corrected to 21C in 6.2 and the Terminology section was updatededitorially in September 2011.1. Scope1.1 These test methods cover the 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, Bol

4、t 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 (Section 10).1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not b

5、e exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility o

8、ods4.1 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 D3773 and D3774.5. Apparatus5.1 Scale, with a capacity and sensitivity sufficient to weighthe full piece, roll, bolt, or cut units to within

9、 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 tested.5.3 Cutting Die, either square or round with an area of atleast 13 cm2or 2 in.26. Conditio

10、ning6.1 Condition test specimens as directed in Practice D1776.6.2 All weighing tests should be made in the standardatmosphere for testing textiles (21 6 1C (70 6 2F),65 6 2 % RH), after the specimens have been conditioned inthe same atmosphere. It may be impractical to condition thespecimens in Opt

11、ion 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 the tests withoutconditioning and report the actual conditions prevailing at thetime of the t

12、est. Such results may not correspond with theresults obtained after testing adequately conditioned specimensin the standard atmosphere for testing textiles.7.

17、etermine 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 as possible and whichare from a lot of material of the type in q

18、uestion. 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 probability level chosen by thetwo parties before testing is begun. If

19、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 number of rolls of fabric as directed in anapplicable material
