Summary of Test Method4.1 The entire lot of raw wool is weighed, prepared,scoured, and dried in the usual commercial equipment, withspecial precauti
11、ons against loss of wool at any stage of theoperations. The commercially dried scoured wool is weighed,then sampled for laboratory determination of its oven-driedweight (mass) and its content of alcohol-extractable matter,mineral matter, vegetable-matter base, and other alkali-insoluble impurities.
12、The wool base content and the clean woolfiber present are calculated as percentages of the net weight(mass) of the lot of raw wool.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is considered satisfactory for use as areferee method for the determination of the wool base contentand the clean wool fiber
13、present in a lot of raw wool. If thereare differences of practical significance between reported testresults for two laboratories (or more), comparative test shouldbe performed to determine if there is a statistical bias betweenthem, using competent statistical assistance. As a minimum,use the sampl

Procedure10.1 WeighingDetermine the net weight (mass) of the lotby weighing each package of raw wool to the nearest 1 lb (0.5kg) and deducting the known or ascertained tare.10.2 Grading and SortingIf required, grade or sort theweighed wool, or both. Treat each grade
25、 or sort, or both,separately as directed in 10.4, and each waste or off-sort, orboth, as directed in 10.5.10.3 Opening and DustingIf the use of a wool opener orduster is required prior to scouring, recover all wool wastesfrom these operations for treatment as directed in 10.5.10.4 Treatment of Grade
26、s and SortsSeparately treat eachgrade and sort as follows:10.4.1 ScouringUsing Scouring Solution A in the firstbowl and Scouring Solution B in the second bowl, both at 5263C, scour and rinse by the usual commercial procedure. Makesure that the equipment is free of wool both before and after thescour
27、ing and that all wool wastes are recovered.10.4.2 DryingDry the scoured wool at the temperatureand under the operating conditions customary with the equip-ment being used and the type of wool involved. Make sure thatthe equipment is free of wool both before and after the dryingand that all wool wast
28、es are recovered. Store the dried wool,either in bulk form or packaged, for at least 24 h, preferably ina space having an atmosphere not subject to large variations intemperature or humidity during that period.10.4.3 WeighingDetermine to the nearest 1 lb (0.5 kg) thenet weight (mass) of the scoured
29、wool in each package, orother unit, after storage for 24 h (10.4.2).10.4.4 SamplingDuring or immediately after the weigh-ing (10.4.3) select a sample for the laboratory determination ofoven-dried weight (mass), alcohol-extractable matter, mineralmatter, vegetable matter, and other residual impuritie
30、s, asfollows:10.4.4.1 If the scoured wool is weighed in bulk form or insoft bags, take at random from each 100 lb (50 kg) a handfulof wool weighing about 1 oz (30 g). Promptly place eachselected portion of wool in a moisture-proof container ofsuitable size. Seal the container when sampling is comple
31、te.10.4.4.2 If the scoured wool is weighed in compressedbales, core sample the bales with the equipment described inPractice D1060, taking 2 cores (Note 4) from each bale atrandom locations on the sampling surfaces. Promptly placeeach core in a moisture-proof container of suitable size. Sealthe cont
32、ainer when sampling is complete.NOTE 5If the number of bales and the diameter of the sampling tubeare such that the expected weight (mass) of a sample consisting of 2 coresper bale is less than 100 g, increase the number of cores per balesufficiently to ensure a sample weight (mass) of 100 g or more
