Test three specimens from the MD and three from the CMD. Report the average for each direction. The maximum allowable stretch is 25%;

19、 the maximum allowable set is 4%. 3.2.6 Crocking (ISO 105-X12). The results shall be 4 when compared to the ISO Grey Scale for Staining, ISO 105-A03, after ten strokes back and forth for both wet and dry conditions. For wet testing, use a 65% 5% wet pick up of the crocking cloth. 3.2.7 Water Spottin
