Significance and Use3.1 This test method is designed to measure the width ofspecimens before and after they are subjected to various test
7、swhich may change the width. A test procedure wherein suchmeasurements could be used is the change in area of squarepieces when measuring the resistance of leather to syntheticperspiration solution.4. Apparatus4.1 Steel Scale, graduated to 0.02 in. (0.5 mm).4.2 Steel Tape, graduated to116 in. or in
8、millimetres.5. Specimen5.1 The specimen shall be the prepared test specimen, unit,or piece. It shall be conditioned for 48 h in an atmospheremaintained at 73.4 6 1.8F (23 6 1C) and 50 6 4 % relativehumidity and tested under these conditions. See PracticeD1610.6. Procedure6.1 Test SpecimensPlace the
