For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN I

19、SO 139, Textiles Standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing (ISO 139:2005) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 weft-knitted fabrics generic name applied to knitted fabrics in which the stitches made by each weft th

20、read are formed substantially across the width of the fabric NOTE Weft-knitted fabrics are characterised by the fact that each weft thread is fed at right angles to the direction in which the fabric is produced. 3.2 warp-knitted fabrics generic name applied to knitted fabrics in which the stitches m

21、ade from each warp thread are formed substantially along the length of the fabric NOTE Warp knitted fabrics are characterised by the fact that each warp thread is fed more or less in line with the direction in which the fabric is produced. 3.3 course row of stitches across the width of a weft-knitte

22、d or of a warp-knitted fabric 3.4 wale column of stitches along the length of a weft-knitted or of a warp-knitted fabric 3.5 technical face surface of a fabric that consists wholly of face stitches, i.e. stitches that are so intermeshed in the fabric that its legs are situated above the top arcs of

23、the stitches formed in the same wale in the previous course 3.6 opposite side technical back surface of a fabric that consists wholly of reverse stitches, i.e. stitches that are so intermeshed in the fabric that the top arcs and the bottom arcs, as well as the underlaps in a warp-knitted fabric, are

24、 situated above the legs of the stitches formed in the same wale in the previous and the following course NOTE The technical back is sometimes used as the effect side of the garment. EN 14971:2006 (E) 5 4 Principle The wales and courses in a representative sample of a knitted fabric are counted usin

25、g suitable magnifying and counting devices and reported to the length for calculation. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Counting glass, the aperture width of which shall be a minimum 20 mm in each direction. Other suitable apparatus may be used. 5.2 Calibrated ruler, graduated in increments of 1 mm. 5.3 Dissecting n

26、eedles, scissors or shape blade. 5.4 Suitable optical device with magnification. 6 Conditioning and testing atmosphere The standard temperate atmosphere for preconditioning, conditioning and testing textiles as specified in EN ISO 139 shall be used. 7 Test specimen The test specimen shall be large e

27、nough to enable the wales and courses to be counted at five different places, selected to represent the fabric as fully as possible. The test specimen shall exclude the edges of the fabric. 8 Procedure 8.1 General Lay the test specimen on a horizontal surface, un-tensioned, in the standard atmospher

28、e for conditioning and testing (see EN ISO 139) for a minimum of 16 h to ensure that a relaxed state is achieved. 8.2 Preliminary test Lay a counting glass on the knitted fabric in such a manner that two of the edges are strictly parallel to the wales. Count, with the dissecting needle, the number o

29、f wales to the nearest half stitch. If the number of wales is 10 or more per centimetre, then use method A. If the number of wales is less than 10 per centimetre, proceed using method B. Determine the length (Lb) to ensure that the number of wales counted is greater than 30. Repeat the same procedur

30、e for the courses in the fabric. 8.3 Method A: Counting glass 8.3.1 Counting of wales Note the aperture width (La) of the counting device. Lay the counting glass on the knitted fabric in such a manner that two of the edges are strictly parallel to the wales. Count, with the dissecting needle, the nu

31、mber of wales to the nearest half stitch. Repeat the procedure in at least five different places. EN 14971:2006 (E) 6 8.3.2 Counting of courses Note the aperture width (La) of the counting device. Lay the counting glass on the knitted fabric in such a manner that two of the edges are strictly parall

32、el to the courses. Count, with the dissecting needle, the number of courses to the nearest half stitch. Repeat the procedure in at least five different places. In complex structures the wales and courses recognised on visual inspection of the fabric may be made up of two or more structures. In such

33、case the determination of the number of stitches per area shall be measured. 8.4 Method B: Ruler 8.4.1 Counting of wales Lay the measuring rule on the knitted fabric parallel to the courses. Using the dissecting needle, count, to the nearest half stitch, the number of wales over the length (Lb) dete

34、rmined in the preliminary test. Repeat the procedure in at least five different places. 8.4.2 Counting of courses Lay the measuring rule on the knitted fabric parallel to the wales. Using the dissecting needle, count, to the nearest half stitch, the number of courses over the length (Lb) determined

35、in the preliminary test. Repeat the procedure in at least five different places. In complex structures the wales and courses recognised on visual inspection of the fabric may be made up of two or more structures. In such case the determination of the number of stitches per area shall be measured. 9

36、Calculation and expression of results Calculate the individual numbers of wales and courses per centimetre. Calculate the arithmetic mean of the individual results in each direction. Calculate the number of stitches per square centimetre by multiplying the wale and course direction means. 10 Test re
