Summary of Test Method4.1 A specimen is placed on the base of a thickness gaugeand a weighted presser foot lowered. The displacement be-tween the base and the presser foot is meas
8、ured as the thicknessof the specimen.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is considered satisfactory for accep-tance testing of commercial shipments since current estimatesof between-laboratory precision are acceptable, and this testmethod is used extensively in the trade for acceptance testi
9、ng.5.1.1 In case of a dispute arising from differences inreported test results when using this test method for acceptancetesting of commercial shipments, the purchaser and the sup-plier should conduct comparative tests to determine if there isa statistical bias between their laboratories. Competent
10、statis-tical assistance is recommended for the investigation of bias.As a minimum, the two parties should take a group of testspecimens that are as homogeneous as possible and that arefrom a lot of material of the type in question. Test specimensthen should be randomly assigned in equal numbers to e
11、achlaboratory for testing. The average results from the twolaboratories should be compared using the appropriate statis-tical analysis and an acceptable probability level chosen by thetwo parties before testing is begun. If a bias is found, either itscause must be found and corrected, or the purchas
12、er and thesupplier must agree to interpret future test results with consid-eration to the known bias.5.2 Thickness is one of the basic physical properties oftextile materials. In certain industrial applications, the thick-ness may require rigid control within specified limits. Bulk andwarmth propert
13、ies of textile materials are often estimated fromtheir thickness values, and thickness is also useful in measuringsome performance characteristics, such as before and afterabrasion and shrinkage.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D13 on Textilesand is the direct responsibi

17、e of most textile materials will varyconsiderably depending on the pressure applied to the speci-men at the time the thickness measurement is taken. In allcases, the apparent thickness varies inversely with the pressureapplied. For this reason, it is essential that the pressure bespecified when disc

Sampling and Test Specimens7.1 Lot SampleAs a lot sample for acceptance testing,randomly select the number of rolls or pieces of fabric directe
23、din an applicable material specification or other agreementbetween the purchaser and the supplier. Consider the rolls orpieces of fabric to be the primary sampling units. In theabsence of such an agreement, take the number of fabric rollsspecifed in Table 2.NOTE 1An adequate specification or other a
24、greement between thepurchaser and the supplier requires taking into account the variabilitybetween rolls or pieces of fabric and between specimens from a swatchfrom a roll or piece of fabric to provide a sampling plan with a meaningfulproducers risk, consumers risk, acceptable quality level, and lim
25、itingquality level.7.2 Laboratory SampleFor acceptance testing, take aswatch extending the width of the fabric and approximately 1m (1 yd) along the machine direction from each roll or piece inthe lot sample. For rolls of fabric, take a sample that willexclude fabric from the outer wrap of the roll
26、or the inner wraparound the core of the roll of fabric. For finished garments, takea piece of sufficient size to provide the number of specimensrequired in 7.3.7.3 Test SpecimensFrom each laboratory sampling unit,take ten specimens. Use the cutting die or template described in6.2. It is permissible
27、to make thickness tests of a textilematerial without cutting, providing it can be maintainedwithout distortion in a plane parallel to the presser foot andanvil while making measurements.7.3.1 Cutting Test SpecimensWhen cutting specimens, cuthaving minimum dimensions at least 20 % greater than anydim
