1、Designation: D 579 09Standard Specification forGreige Woven Glass Fabrics1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 579; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses
2、 indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers greige fabrics woven from “E”electrical glass fib
3、er yarns. This specification can also beapplied to fabrics made of other glass fiber types as agreedupon between the purchaser and the supplier.1.2 This specification specifies the terminology, definitions,general requirements and physical requirements for greigeglass fiber fabrics. This specificati
4、on permits the application oforganic materials to the glass fiber yarn during manufacturethat helps facilitate weaving.1.3 This specification shows the values in both SI units andin inch-pound units. “SI units” is the technically correct namefor the system of metric units known as the InternationalS
5、ystem of Units. “Inch-pound units” is the technically correctname for the customary units used in the United States. Thevalues in SI units are provided as information only; the valuesstated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard.1.4 This specification is one of a series to provide asubst
6、itute for Military Specifications: MIL-Y-1140 Yarn, Cord,Sleeving, Cloth, and Tape-Glass; and MIL-C-9084 Cloth,Glass Finished for Resin Laminates.1.5 Additional ASTM specifications in this series have beendrafted and appear in current editions of the Annual Book ofASTM Standards. These include finis
7、hed glass fabrics, unfin-ished glass fabrics, glass tapes, glass sleevings, glass cords,glass sewing threads, and finished laminates made from fin-ished glass fabrics.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of
8、the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
