27、han the standard sample with respect to all characteristics for which the standard sample is referenced (see 6.4). 3.3 Recycled, recovered, or environmentally preferable materials. Recycled, recovered, or environmentally preferable materials should be used to the maximum extent possible, provided th

28、at the material meets or exceeds the operational and maintenance requirements, and promotes economically advantageous life cycle costs. 3.4 Materials. 3.4.1 Cotton. The cotton shall be carded. 3.4.2 Nylon. The nylon shall be first quality, high tenacity, semi-dull staple having a nominal cut length

29、of 1-1/2 inches and a round cross section with a nominal denier of 2.25 to 2.50.
