1、Designation: D 4031 07Standard Test Method forBulk Properties of Textured Yarns1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4031; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in pare
2、ntheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the changein length of a tensioned skein of textured yarn due to change incrimp characteristics brought a
3、bout by exposure to wet or dryheat. The change in length, depending on procedure, is ameasure of skein shrinkage, crimp contraction, bulk shrinkage,or crimp recovery.1.2 This test method applies to crimped, continuous mul-tifilament yarns ranging from 1.7 to 88.9 tex (15 to 800 denier).1.3 Three con
4、ditions are provided for crimp developmentmediums, and loading routines are provided to be used on theyarn skeins to allow determination of yarn bulk by severaldifferent procedures.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded as standard. Within the text, the inch-p
5、oundunits are shown in parentheses. The values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalent; therefore, each system shall beused independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi-cation.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of
6、 thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

9、s, refer toTerminology D 123.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A skein of yarn of a prescribed size (linear density) issubjected to a crimp development medium using a specifiedloading routine. As the crimp is developed or shrinkage occursin the yarn, the skein changes in length. The lengths of theskein u
10、nder specified tension forces are used to calculate thevalue of bulk shrinkage, crimp contraction, skein shrinkage, orcrimp recovery.4.2 The test method offers three options for loading routineof the yarn skeins. Loading routines consist of using low-tension forces (light loads of 0.04 to 0.98 mN/te
11、x (0.5 to 11mgf/den) that extend without removing crimp, and high-tension forces (heavy loads of 8.8 mN/tex (100 mgf/den) thatremove crimp without elongating the yarn. A list of weights tobe used is given in Table 1. Weight option combinations aredetailed in Table 2.5. Significance and Use5.1 The va
12、lues obtained by this test method should not beused to predict similar properties in fabricated structures exceptin narrow well-defined comparisons, such as 16.7 tex (150-denier) polyester from the same feed yarn merge and texturedon the same machine type.Attempts to relate yarn performanceto fabric
13、 performance might result in poor correlations unlessother factors affecting bulk such as yarn shrinkage and fabricfinishing are eliminated.5.2 Elapsed time between processing and testing has amarked effect on the results of this test especially during thefirst 72 h. Therefore, specimens should only
14、 be compared iftested after the same elapsed time. This effect is caused bystress decay which is known to be minimal beyond the seventh1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D13 on Textilesand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D13.58 on Yarns and Fibers.Current edit

17、.5.3 In the case of yarns having a linear density near theupper limit of the skein size directed in Table 3, an error isintroduced when rounding off to full revolutions. Therefore,the calculated values for crimp contraction, etc., should only becompared with other samples of yarn of the same lineard

Only bulk shrinkage () is calculated.5.7 This test method for the measurement of bulk propertiesis not recommen
21、ded for acceptance testing of commercialshipments because of lack of precision data.5.7.1 If there are differences or practical significance be-tween reported test results for two laboratories (or more),comparative tests should be performed to determine if there isa statistical bias between them, us
22、ing competent statisticalassistance. As a minimum, test samples that are as homoge-neous as possible, drawn from the material from which thedisparate test results were obtained, and randomly assigned inequal numbers to each laboratory for testing. The test resultsfrom the two laboratories should be
23、compared using a statis-tical test for unpaired data, at a probability level chosen priorto the testing series. If a bias is found, either its cause must befound and corrected, or future test results for that material mustbe adjusted in consideration of the known bias.6. Apparatus36.1 Skein Reel:6.1
24、.1 GeneralA hand or motor-driven reel having a speci-fied perimeter. The reel shall be fitted with a traversingmechanism that will avoid bunching the successive wraps, andwith an indicator of the length wound. A warning bell that willring at a specified length is recommended. A collapsible arm isrec
25、ommended for ease of removal of skeins. A revolutioncounter is also recommended.6.1.2 Reel PerimeterThe perimeter shall be 1.0 m (1.09yd) with a tolerance of 62 %. By agreement between pur-chaser and supplier, reels may be used having any perimeterbetween 0.9 to 2.3 m (1 to 2.5 yd).6.1.3 Yarn Tensio
26、ningTo minimize differences in yarntensioning a motor driven unit with speeds at 150 6 20revolutions/min is recommended. Tensions should be as low aspossible and no additional tensioning device is required for amotor driven reel. For a hand driven reel additional tensioningmay be needed for yarn con

In no case should the tensionexceed 13 mN/tex (0.15 gf/den).6.2 Measuring StandA stand with a measuring scale, inmm, and a hook to position the skein vertically in line with thescale zero.6.3 Heating RackA rack to support skeins during treat-ment and while cooling or drying.
