Summary of Test Methods4.1 Bench marks are placed at specified distances on thefabrics, which are then measured, and subsequently dry-cleaned, or laundered and dried, or both, through a pr
9、escribedcycle that is repeated a specified number of times. Thedrycleaned or washed specimens are examined for appearanceand delamination and measured to determine any accompany-ing shrinkage and, if desired, tested to determine the strength ofthe bond.5. Significance and Use5.1 These test methods f
10、or the determination of propertiesof bonded, fused, or laminated apparel fabrics, are consideredsatisfactory for acceptance testing of commercial shipments ofbonded and laminated apparel fabrics since the methods havebeen used extensively in the trade for acceptance testing.5.1.1 If there are differ
11、ences of practical significance be-tween reported test results for two laboratories (or more),comparative tests should be performed to determine if there isa statistical bias between them, using competent statisticalassistance. As a minimum, use the samples for such a com-parative test that are as h
12、omogeneous as possible, drawn fromthe same lot of material as the samples that resulted in disparateresults during initial testing. Randomly assign specimens inequal numbers to each laboratory. The test results from thelaboratories involved should be compared using a statisticaltest for unpaired dat
13、a and a probability level chosen prior to thetesting series. If bias is found, either its cause must be foundand corrected, or future test results for that material must beadjusted in consideration of the known bias.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D13 onTextiles and

19、00 000 (2)where:n = revolutions per minute,D = cage diameter, in., andd = cage diameter, mm.6.2 Domestic Automatic Washer,4top-loading, spin-extracting type.6.3 Domestic Automatic Tumble Dryer,4front-loading type.6.4 Aspirated Psychrometer, which meets the requirementsof Test Method E337.6.5 Marking
20、 Device4A thin sheet of stainless steel orother rigid flat material in which a square opening 254 by 254mm (10 by 10 in.) has been cut.6.6 Rule, 305-mm (12-in.) or longer, preferably divided intotenths of an inch. A premarked device calibrated to give thepercentage of shrinkage or growth may also be
21、 used.6.7 Sewing Machine, suitable for sewing a single row ofstitching, preferably with No. 00 mercerized cotton thread, 25mm (1 in.) from the edge of the fabric specimen.6.8 Steam Iron, hand type.6.9 Steam Press,4a press, 600 by 1250 mm (24 by 50 in.),or larger, provided with 60 to 70 psig steam pr
22、essure at thepress. Any steam press large enough for pressing a specimen380 mm (15 in.) square may be used.6.10 Tensile Testing Machine, conforming to SpecificationD76, either a constant rate of traverse type4or a constant rateof extension type, equipped with clamps having a width of 76.2mm (3.00 in
23、.) and preferably calibrated in kilograms with arange from 0 to 4.5 kg (0 to 160 oz). The constant rate ofextension type machine is preferred because of the inherentlylower machine-induced errors in this type of machine.6.11 Detergent, home laundry type.6.12 Perchlorethylene, commercial grade.NOTE 2
24、Warning: Perchlorethylene is toxic, and the usual precau-tions for handling chlorinated solvents should be taken. It should be usedonly under well-ventilated conditions. The solvent is nonflammable.6.13 Drycleaning Detergent,4anionic drycleaning deter-gent.7. Sampling7.1 Lot SampleAs a lot sample fo
25、r acceptance testing,take at random the number of rolls of fabric directed in anapplicable material specification or other agreement betweenthe purchaser and the supplier. Consider rolls of fabric to be theprimary sampling units.NOTE 3An adequate specification or other agreement between thepurchaser
26、 and the supplier requires taking into account the variabilitybetween rolls of fabric and between specimens from a swatch from a rollof fabric so as to provide a sampling plan with a meaningful producersrisk, consumers risk, acceptable quality level, and limiting quality level.7.2 Laboratory SampleA
27、s a laboratory sample for accep-tance testing, take a full width swatch 1 m (1 yd) long from theend of each roll of fabric in the lot sample, after first discardinga minimum of1m(1yd)offabric from the very outside of theroll.7.3 Test SpecimensProceed as follows:7.3.1 Drycleaning and LaunderingCut fo
28、ur specimensfrom each swatch in the laboratory sample with each specimenbeing 380 by 380 mm (15 by 15 in.) in size, with the one sideof the specimens from a single swatch parallel to the selvage.Locate two of the specimens from each swatch about13 of thedistance from one selvage and locate the other
29、 two specimensfrom each swatch about13 of the distance from the otherselvage. Locate each of the two specimens from one side of theswatch along a diagonal line on the swatch so that they willcontain different warp ends and filling picks. Sew a straightline of stitching around each specimen 25 mm (1
30、in.) from eachedge. Reserve the rest of the swatch for comparison with thedrycleaned and laundered test specimens.7.3.2 Strength of BondPrepare three test specimens, eachmeasuring 76 mm (3 in.) wide, and 152 mm (6 in.) long, thelength of the specimens corresponding to the lengthwisedirection of the
31、fabric. Do not take the test specimens closer tothe selvage than a distance equal to 20 % of the fabric width.NOTE 4Samples that are 51 mm (2 in.) wide may be used as theminimum width.8. Conditioning8.1 Bring the samples from the prevailing atmosphere andcondition them for at least4hinthestandard at
32、mosphere fortesting textiles as directed in Practice D1776 if shrinkage is tobe determined. Preconditioning is not necessary.9. Specimen Preparation9.1 Using an indelible fineline marker, mark a 254 by 254mm (10 by 10 in.) reference square centrally located on theface of each test specimen. Apply th
33、ree sets of referencemarkings 254 6 2mm(106 0.1 in.) apart, as measured witha rule, in the direction of the fabric length. Locate the markingswithin 25 mm (1 in.) of each end and at the midpoint of eachside of the square. Similarly, apply three sets of markings in thedirection of the fabric width. A
34、ny other method of accuratelylocating the 254-mm (10-in.) reference marks is satisfactory aslong as the three marks on each side of the square are at least105 mm (4 in.) apart.4Apparatus and accessories are commercially available.D2724 07 (2011)1210. Drycleaning ProcedureNOTE 5Launderable fabrics ar
35、e expected normally to be dryclean-able, except where the face fabric is not drycleanable and is so labeled. Forexample, the fabric could contain a functional finish soluble in the solvent,or the fiber could be degraded by the solvent, which would be the casewith poly(vinyl chloride) fiber.10.1 Solv
36、ent PreparationPrepare a standard detergent/drycleaning solvent mixture by adding sufficient detergent tothe solvent to make a 1 % volume/volume solution. Addsufficient water to the solution to give a solvent relativehumidity level of 75 % for the particular drycleaning detergentused. Put this solve
37、nt in the machine storage tank. The samesolution can be used for repeated cleanings until it becomesdirty and needs replacing as long as the necessary wateradditions to maintain the solvent relative humidity constant aremade prior to each test run. This is so because the specimensbeing run could con
38、ceivably alter the solvent relative humidityfor succeeding test runs while the detergent level would remainconstant.10.2 Sample and Dummy Load Preparation Prepare aload consisting of all specimens to be tested and made up to 3.6kg (8 lb) total with dummy load of approximately 380 by380-mm (15 by 15-
39、in.) fabric pieces of similar material.Condition this load at least4hinthestandard atmosphere fortesting textiles. After the drycleaning operation, condition theload again before running through each additional drycleaningcycle. Conditioning before each drycleaning cycle is intendedto minimize deple
40、tion of water from the drycleaning solutionspecified in 10.1.1 which may affect shrinkage results.10.3 Drycleaning ProcedureRun through the completedry-to-dry cycle in the machine. Run the solvent phase of thedrycleaning cycle with the solvent no higher than 32C (90F).During the drying phase of the
41、drycleaning cycle, either the airoutlet temperature should not exceed 60C (140F) or the inletair temperature should not exceed 80C (175F). If heat-sensitive fibers, for example, modacrylic fibers, are involved,the outlet air temperature should not exceed 40C (105F) orthe inlet air temperature should
42、 not exceed 60C (140F).Afterthe complete drycleaning cycle, remove the sample frommachine for examination and reconditioning.10.4 Repeat the drycleaning operation through two addi-tional cycles. At the end of the third cycle remove the testspecimens from the machine, lay on a flat surface, smooth th
43、etest specimens by hand, and examine. Press the test specimensusing the steam press according to the following cycle:10.4.1 Five seconds steam with head up.10.4.2 Five seconds dry hot press with head down, 145 to151C (293 to 303F) of steam pressure at the press.10.4.3 Five seconds vacuum, steam off,
44、 head down.10.4.4 Five seconds vacuum, steam off, head up.10.4.5 Allow the pressed specimens to condition in thestandard atmosphere for testing textiles for at least 4 h.10.5 Measure the distance between each of the six sets ofreference marks on each test specimen.10.6 Lay the fabric flat on a table
45、 or board with a surfacerough enough so that the fabric side touching the table will notreadily slide. Examine each test specimen for any evidence ofdelamination. Place the fingers on the specimen and attempt toslide the upper fabric layer over the bottom or intermediarysubstrate. If in doubt, make
46、a small cut through the specimenwith scissors to determine if any separation of substrates hasoccurred. Turn the fabric over and make the same type ofexamination on the other side.10.7 Examine the face fabric for any alteration in appear-ance as compared with the original sample. This may be donewit
47、h conventional room lighting, or with “Lighting Equipmentfor Viewing Test Specimens,” as described in Fig. 1 ofAATCCMethod 124. Examine only the area of the test specimenbounded by the stitching.11. Laundering Procedure11.1 Machine LaunderingWash the test specimens in theautomatic home laundry machi
48、ne, using 50 g of laundrydetergent, or a sufficient amount to give a safe suds level, at theapplicable domestic automatic temperature and procedureunder which the fabric is to be marketed. In the absence of thisinformation use the “normal” cycle and high water levelsettings and determine the washing
49、 temperature according tothe fabric type and construction as follows:11.1.1 Face fabrics containing 20 % or more of wool,acetate, modacrylic, or acrylic fibers, 41 6 3C (105 6 5F).11.1.2 Face fabrics of tricots, circular knits, woven nylon,and print fabrics other than those described under 11.1.1,4963C (120 6 5F).11.1.3 All other woven face fabrics, 60 6 3C (140 6 5F).11.2 Load for Machine LaunderingUse a total load of 1.8kg (4 lb) including test specimens plus a dummy load ofapproximately 380 by 380 mm (15 by 15 in.) fabrics of similarfabri
