15、pecify unit of measure to be used and directions relatedto precision requirements (for example, measure to nearest 0.5mm, round up or down to nearest 0.5 mm, to164 in., etc.).Depending upon the level of accuracy and visual acuity, imagemagnification may be an aid.8.2 Lay sample to be measured on fla

16、t surface with suffi-cient color contrast to distinguish the edge of the sample.Sample should lay flat and smooth without wrinkles, creases orfolds. Material should not be under tension when measured.8.3 Lay ruler over product or place product on top of rulerso that the characteristic to be measured

17、 can be clearly viewedand referenced to the ruler. Care should be taken to properlyalign sample to avoid skewing errors. A ruler may be set onedge along the surface rather than laid flat if the risk of parallaxerror is apparent.8.4 Carefully align the starting point of the measurement tothe leading
