1、Designation: D3107 07 (Reapproved 2015)Standard Test Methods forStretch Properties of Fabrics Woven from Stretch Yarns1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3107; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the y
2、ear of last revision. A number in parentheses 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 U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 These test methods cover
3、the determination of theamount of fabric stretch, fabric growth, and fabric recovery offabrics woven in whole or in part from stretch yarns after aspecified tension and extension.1.2 These test methods are intended for use with wovenfabrics exhibiting high stretch (greater than 12 percent) andgood r
4、ecovery properties from low tension (up to 360 g/cm or2 lb/in. of fabric width). When agreed upon, these test methodscan be used for fabrics woven in whole or in part fromnon-stretch yarns that exhibit limits within the stretch charac-teristics shown above.1.3 These test methods allow the use of two
5、 tension optionscommonly used in the textile industry; 1.35 kg (3 lb) and 1.8kg (4 lb). Several calculations are included for fabric stretch,fabric growth and fabric recovery, and can be used individuallywhen required by individual specifications.1.4 These test methods should not be used to measureb
6、reaking elongation of woven fabrics which is covered in TestMethod D5035.1.5 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as the standard. Within the text,the inch-pound units are shown in parentheses. The valuesstated in each system are not exact equivalents
7、; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in nonconformancewith the specification.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of t
8、his standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

The tension is removed and after various timeintervals, the relaxed dist
17、ance between the bench marks isremeasured. The fabric growth is calculated from the lengthdifference between the bench marks prior to application of thetension and after relaxation.4.3 Fabric Growth after Stretching to a SpecifiedExtensionBench marks of a known distance are made on afabric specimen.
18、 A specimen, paired to one used in the fabricstretch test, is held at a specified extension for a prescribedperiod of time. The tension is then removed from the specimenand the distance between the bench marks is measured after thespecimen has been allowed to relax for various time intervals.The fab
19、ric growth at each time interval is calculated from thedistance between the bench marks of the specimen prior tostretching and the length after each relaxation period at zerotension.4.4 Fabric Recoveryfabric recovery is calculated as thepercentage of the fabric growth recovered with respect to thefa
20、bric growth determined after tension and/or after a specifiedextension obtained at the various relaxation intervals.5. Significance and Use5.1 these test methods are used to determine the stretch,growth and recovery properties that garments made with thefabric tested may be expected to exhibit durin
21、g use.5.2 these test methods is not recommended for acceptancetesting of commercial shipments because the between-laboratory precision is known to be poor.5.2.1 If there are differences of practical significance be-tween reported test results for two or more laboratories,comparative tests should be
22、performed by those laboratories todetermine if there is a statistical bias between them, usingcompetent statistical assistance. Use test samples that are ashomogeneous as possible, are drawn from the material fromwhich the disparate test results were obtained, and are ran-domly assigned in equal num
23、bers to each laboratory for testing.The test results from the two laboratories should be comparedusing a statistical test for unpaired data, at a probability levelchosen prior to the testing series. If a bias is found, either itscause must be found and corrected, or future test results for thatmater
24、ial must be adjusted in consideration of the known bias.5.3 Some stretch fabrics are constructed with stretch yarnsin only the filling direction. Consequently, for those fabrics,only the filling direction needs to be tested.6. Apparatus6.1 Stretch Testing Instrument4consisting of the following:6.1.1

Consider rolls of fabric or fabriccomponents of fabricated systems to be the primary samplingunit, as applicable.NOTE 1An adequate specification or other
29、agreement between thepurchaser and the supplier requires taking into account the variabilitybetween shipping units, between packages within a shipping unit, andbetween specimens from a single package to provide a sampling with ameaningful producers risk, consumers risk, acceptable quality level andl
30、imiting quality level.7.2 Laboratory Sampling UnitAs a laboratory samplingunit take from rolls at least one full-width piece of fabric thatis1m(1yd)inlength along the selvage (machine direction),after removing a first1m(1yd)length.

That is, if the product is agarment worn on the upper body, if possible, take specimensfrom the shoulder, shirt tail, shirt back and front, and sleeve. Inso
33、me cases, the size of the specimen panels may not alwaysallow taking 560 mm (22 in.) long specimens in the testdirection.7.3.2 For fabric widths 125 mm (5 in.) or more, take nospecimen closer than 25 mm (1 in.) from the selvage edges ofthe laboratory sampling unit.7.3.3 For fabric widths less than 1
