Sampling7.1 Tests shall be performed on the fabric as it will reach thepurchaser.7.2 Select the lot samples as specified for each test method.In the absence of such instructions in
30、 a specific test method,select lot sample as agreed upon between the purchaser and thesupplier.7.3 Systematically take a full reel from each side and fromthe center of each lot. Yardage from each reel in the laboratorysample will serve as test specimens.7.4 Cut five test specimens from each reel in
31、the laboratorysample.8. Conditioning8.1 Precondition and condition the laboratory samples asdirected in Practice D 1776.9. Procedure9.1 Total Fabric Height Measurement (independent of, anddoes not correlate to, 9.7):9.1.1 This procedure should only be used on fabrics with aslit width of 2 in. (51 mm
32、) or more. On fabrics with a slit widthof 4 in. (102 mm) or less, a correlation should be developedbetween the supplier and the purchaser.9.1.2 Shake the specimen twice with a quirk jerk (likecracking a whip) to bloom the pile to its upright state. Handlethe test specimens carefully to avoid alterin
33、g the uprightcondition of the pile.9.1.3 Place the specimen on the anvil of the micrometer andbring the presser foot into contact with the pile side of thematerial. Gradually increase the pressure until the entire weightof the presser foot is applied to the material. Five seconds tofull load is sugg
34、ested.9.1.4 Read the thickness scale after a definite time intervalthat is clearly started in the test report. Select this interval toensure that a reasonably stable condition exists at the time ofmaking the observation. For most materials, 5 s after the fullload has been applied will represent a st
35、able condition and is asuitable time interval. Readings should be taken to the nearest0.001 in. (0.02 mm).9.1.5 Repeat the measurements on the other specimens andreport the average measurement, the maximum measurement,and the minimum measurement for all samples.9.2 Slit Width Measurement (see Test M
36、ethod D 3774):9.2.1 Lay the test specimen, pile side down, on a smoothhorizontal surface without tension in any direction and free ofwrinkles or distortion. Use a graduated linear scale that islonger than the specimen is wide.9.2.2 Measure the width of the fabric, which will be thedistance from the
37、outer edge of the outer warp end on one sideto the outer edge of the outer warp end on the other side,measured perpendicular to the warp ends. Measurementsshould be taken at two points separated by at least 3 in. (76mm) along the length of the fabric. Do not take measurementscloser than 1 in. (25 mm
38、) to the cut ends of the specimen.9.2.3 Repeat the measurements on all specimens and reportthe average measurement, the maximum measurement, and theminimum measurement for all samples.9.3 Picks per Inch Measurement (see Test Method D 3775):9.3.1 Lay the test specimen, pile side down, on a smoothhori
39、zontal surface without tension in any direction and free ofwrinkles or distortion. Lay the pick glass on the fabric and linethe top of the viewing field so that it is parallel to the filling.Count the filling yarns (picks) along the side of the glass in the1 in. (25 mm) space. Counting should be don
40、e at two separateareas of the specimen. Do not count measurements closer than1 in. (25 mm) to the cut ends of the specimen.9.3.2 Optional Count ProcedureFor fabric designs whereindividual yarns (picks) cannot be readily distinguished forcounting in fabric, there are two optional ways to count thepic
41、ks. Either option may be selected.9.3.2.1 Ravel a piece of fabric perpendicular to the directionto be counted by removing picks from the fabric to get astraight edge. Mark at least 1 in. (25 mm) along the length ofthe specimen, then ravel and count the picks to the mark.Obtain the count in at least
42、two places along the length of thespecimen.NOTE 1This method destroys the specimen!9.3.2.2 The other method is to ravel the fabric parallel to thedirection to be counted. This can be done by removing a fewbacking ends from the fabric edge. Lay the pick glass on theraveled edge of the fabric so that
43、the top of the viewing field isparallel to the filling yarns. Count the number of picksprotruding from the edge of the fabric as seen in the 1 in. (25mm) length of the viewing field.9.3.2.3 CalculationAll measurements from the abovemethods should be converted to picks per inch as can be readfrom a p
44、ick glass. If more than 1 in. (25 mm) is counted, thetotal number of picks must be divided by the length counted ininches.9.3.3 Repeat the procedure on the other specimens andrecord the average measurement, the maximum measurement,and the minimum measurement.9.4 Total Fabric Density:9.4.1 Measure th
45、e mass per unit area of the specimen inaccordance with Test Methods D 3776.9.4.2 The mass per unit are (or total fabric density) shouldbe calculated in oz/yd2(g/m2).9.4.3 Repeat the procedure on the other specimens andrecord the average measurement, the maximum measurement,and the minimum measuremen
46、t.9.5 Pile Tuft Density:9.5.1 The pile density is measured in pile tufts per unit area,that is: pile tufts per square inch.D 6337 98 (2007)39.5.2 In order to determine the pile density, the followingitems must be known. These items may be found on orcalculated from the specification data.9.5.2.1 Pil
47、e Rows Per InchTo find the number of pilerows per inch, divide the total number of pile rows by thefinished cloth width in inches. The total number of pile rowsmay or may not be equivalent to the total number of pile ends.9.5.2.2 Picks Per InchThis may be found as described in9.3 of this practice or
48、 on the specification.9.5.2.3 Picks Per TuftDetermined by visually examiningthe weave construction of the fabric. To determine picks pertuft, count the number of picks between identical points on twosuccessive pile tufts in a pile row (see Fig. 5).9.5.3 Calculating Pile Density:Pile density tufts /
49、inch2!5picks/inch! / picks/tuft!# 3 pile rows/inch(1)9.6 Shearable Pile Density (oz./yd2(g/m2):9.6.1 Cut a rectangular piece of fabric, at least 4 by 4 in.(102 by 102 mm), or dimensions decided upon between thepurchaser and the supplier.9.6.2 Calculate and record the area of the fabric in squareinches.9.6.3 Weigh the sample and record the weight in grams.9.6.4 Using shear clippers4with a No. 50 - size 000 blade,shear pile as close to the backing as possible.9.6.5 Weight the remaining sheared backing and record theweight in grams
