37、y and repetitive array.DISCUSSIONAparticular pile floor covering may be all cut pile or allloop pile, and, in either case, the pile may be of essentially one pilelevel or multilevel. A particular floor covering may also contain bothcut pile areas and loop pile areas which may be of the same pile lev

38、elor different pile levels. Areas of intermingled cut and loop pile orintermingled high and low level pile may also occur. D1335,D2646, D3936, D5251, D5252, D5417, D5793, D5823,D5848, D6119, D6283, D6540, D6719, D6859, D6962,D7241pile height, nin determination of tuft height, a measurementthat uses

39、a small graduated ruler inserted until it touches thebacking to measure the pile from the top surface of theprimary backing to the top of the tuft.DISCUSSIONPile height is typically used generically by manufactur-ing personnel in setting machinery and by laymen.

45、ckcoated pile yarn floor covering,the mass per unit area of pile yarn.DISCUSSIONPile yarn mass includes pile yarn portions buried in thebacking and the short stubble of yarn projecting above the backing aftershearing as opposed to measurement of mass per unit area whichincludes only the amount that

46、can be shorn away from the backing.Some pile yarn floor covering constructions, such as patterned wovenWiltons, may have pile yarns that appear infrequently on the pilesurface; however, these inactive pile yarns should be included as part ofthe pile yarn mass per unit area, not as backing. This is n
