Force at first filament breakand elongation at first filament break, work and toughness arecalculated from a force-elongation curve or with an interfacedcomputer. Tena
11、city at first filament break can be calculatedbased on the determined linear density of the yarn. Otherproperties, such as force at specified elongation (FASE),elongation at specified force (EASF), may also be calculated.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is considered satisfactory for acce
12、p-tance testing of commercial shipments since current estimatesof between-laboratory precision are acceptable and the methodis used extensively in the trade for acceptance testing.5.1.1 If there are differences of practical significance be-tween reported test results for two laboratories (or more),c
13、omparative tests should be performed to determine if there isa statistical bias between them, using competent statisticalassistance. As a minimum, use samples for such comparativetests that are as homogeneous as possible, drawn from the samelot of material as the samples that resulted in disparate r
14、esultsduring initial testing, and randomly assigned in equal numbersto each laboratory.

18、its construction and manufacturing process andprovides an indication of the breaking strength of fabrics madefrom the yarn.5.3 Elongation is an indication of the ability of a fiber toabsorb energy. The elongation of yarn or fabric must be greatenough to withstand strains experienced in processing an
19、d enduse, and to absorb the energies of applied forces repeatedly.5.4 Fabric manufacturers use force and elongation informa-tion of elastomeric yarns in determining machine set-upconditions.5.5 Other parameters such as elongation at specified force(EASF), force (or tenacity) at specified elongation
20、(FASE,TASE), work and toughness may be calculated from force-elongation curves. EASF and FASE information is needed fortests involving cycling of yarn in determination of elasticproperties.5.6 This test method was developed using elastomeric yarnsin the “as-produced” condition, but may be used for t
