1、Designation: D 2816 05Standard Test Method forCashmere Coarse-Hair Content in Cashmere1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2816; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number
2、in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a sequential procedure fordetermining whether or not the cashmere coarse-hair content ofa sample exceeds a specified
3、value.NOTE 1For the maximum allowable cashmere coarse-hair content incashmere, refer to Specification D 2817.NOTE 2For the quantitative analysis of cashmere hair and blends ofcashmere hair and other fibers, refer to Test Methods D 629.1.2 This test method is applicable only to cashmere hair inthe fo
4、rm of roving, yarn, or fabric, and to the cashmere haircontent of blends with other fibers, where the expectedcashmere coarse-hair content is not more than five masspercent (see Footnote C of Table 1). For greater expected masspercentages of cashmere coarse-hair, see Test Methods D 629.1.3 This stan
5、dard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of 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.

Summary of Test Method4.1 One thousand (or more) individual fibers of cashmerehair are examined microscopically and classified either ascashmere down or cashmere coarse-hair on the basis of fiberwidth.4.2 The procedure (6.1 and 6.2) for classifying a fiber ascashmer
9、e coarse-hair or cashmere requires microscopic exami-nation of fiber segments of fixed length. The number of fibersegments of each width category is proportional to the totallength of the fibers in each category. Hence, the percentage bylength of cashmere coarse-hair in cashmere hair is equal to the
10、percentage by number of cashmere coarse-hair segments asdetermined by this procedure.4.3 The observed number of cashmere coarse-hair fibers iscompared with the numbers in Table 1 and a decision is made(1) to accept the lot as conforming, (2) to reject the lot asnonconforming, or (3) to continue test
11、ing. The counting,classification, and comparison process is continued until adecision can be made as to whether the lot does or does notconform to the specification. Table 1 is based on stated levelsof confidence.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method may be used for determining compli-ance wit
12、h a specification for maximum cashmere coarse-haircontent and is required to be used for determining compliancewith Specification D 2817.5.1.1 In case of a dispute arising from differences inreported test results when using Test Method D 2816 foracceptance testing of commercial shipments, the purcha
13、ser andthe supplier should conduct comparative tests to determine ifthere is a statistical bias between their laboratories. Competentstatistical assistance is recommended for the investigation ofbias. As a minimum, the two parties should take a group of testspecimens that are as homogeneous as possi
14、ble and that arefrom a lot of material of the type in question. The testspecimens should then be randomly assigned in equal numbersto each laboratory for testing. The average results from the twolaboratories should be compared using Students t-test forunpaired data and an acceptable probability leve

If a bias is found, either1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D13 on Textilesand is the direct responsiblity of Subcommittee D13.13 on Wool and Wool Felt.Current edition approved Sept. 1, 2005.

18、product being tested has a cashmere coarse-hair content that departs significantly either way from thespecified amount, the sequential test procedure describedherein will result in a substantial reduction in the number ofobservations required for a decision at the stated level ofconfidence. On the o
19、ther hand, when the product being testedhas a cashmere coarse-hair content that approaches the speci-fied amount, the sequential procedure ensures that the neces-sary increased number of observations shall be made to securea correct decision at the stated level of confidence.6.

Procedure7.1 Proceed as directed in Test Method D 2130 with respectto apparatus and materials, sampling and selection of speci-mens, test specimen, calibration of microprojector, and prepa-ration of slides, positioning and traversing the slide, focusing,and
21、 selecting the fibers to be observed and, if necessary,measured.7.2 Examine 1000 fibers and record the number of fibers thewidth of which exceeds 30 m (classified as cashmere coarse-hair). Measure fibers having widths close to 30 m withparticular care so as to assure correct classification.7.3 In Ta
22、ble 1, refer to the appropriate column for the agreedupon specification. In the row labeled 1000, two numbers aregiven. The number of cashmere coarse-hair fibers counted in7.2 is either (1) equal to or greater than the larger number, (2)equal to or smaller than the smaller number, or (3) lies betwee
23、nthe two numbers.7.3.1 If the observed number is equal to or greater than thelarger number, terminate the test and report that the sampleexceeds the specification for cashmere coarse-hair content.7.3.2 If the observed number is equal to or smaller than thesmaller number, terminate the test and repor
24、t that all the sampleconforms to the specification for cashmere coarse-hair content.7.3.3 If the observed number lies between the two numbersin the table, examine an additional 1000 fibers as in 7.2 andrecord the number of fibers classified as cashmere coarse-hair.7.4 Compare the number of cashmere
25、coarse-hair fibersobserved in 2000 observations with the second row of thetable, labeled 2000, in the column for the applicable specifi-cation. Use the table as directed in 7.3, and continue theexamination of the fibers in groups of 1000 as long asnecessary to reach a decision with respect to confor
26、mance ornonconformance to the prescribed specification.7.5 If, after 10 000 fibers have been examined, the totalnumber of cashmere coarse-hair fibers found remains betweenthe limiting numbers, terminate the test. Calculate the percent-age of cashmere coarse-hair fibers and report that the sampleconf
