1、Designation: D 3822 07Standard Test Method forTensile Properties of Single Textile Fibers1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3822; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A numb
2、er 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 the measurement of tensileproperties of natural and man-made single textile fibers ofsufficient length to permit m
3、ounting test specimens in a tensiletesting machine.1.2 This test method is also applicable to continuous (fila-ment) and discontinuous (staple) fibers or filaments taken fromyarns or tow. When the fibers to be tested contain crimp, or ifthe tow or yarns have been subjected to bulking, crimping, orte
4、xturing process, the tensile properties are determined afterremoval of the crimp.NOTE 1Testing of filaments taken from yarns or tow, included in thistest method was originally covered in Test Method D 2101, that isdiscontinued.1.3 The words “fiber” and “filament” are used interchange-ably throughout
5、 this test method.1.4 This test method is also applicable to fibers removedfrom yarns, or from yarns processed further into fabrics. Itshould be recognized that yarn and manufacturing processescan influence or modify the tensile properties of fibers.Consequently, tensile properties determined on fib
6、ers takenfrom yarns, or from yarns that have been processed intofabrics, may be different than for the same fibers prior to beingsubjected to yarn or fabric manufacturing processes.1.5 This test method provides directions for measuring thebreaking force and elongation at break of single textile fibe
7、rsand for calculating breaking tenacity, initial modulus, chordmodulus, tangent modulus, tensile stress at specified elonga-tion, and breaking toughness.1.6 Procedures for measuring the tensile properties of bothconditioned and wet single fibers are included. The test methodis applicable to testing
8、under a wide range of conditions.1.7 As the length of the test specimen decreases, the tensilestrength is likely to increase, but the accuracy of the tensileproperties determined may decrease, which may require theneed to increase the number of test specimens. This isparticularly true for those prop
9、erties dependent on the mea-surement of elongation, since the shorter lengths increase therelative effect of slippage and stretching of the test specimenswithin the jaws of either clamp.1.8 The values stated in either acceptable metric units or inother units shall be regarded separately as standard.
10、 The valuesstated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore,each system must be used independently of the other, withoutcombining values in any way.1.9 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the us
11、er 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 Single-fiber specimens are broken on a constant-rate-of-extension (CR
18、E) type tensile testing machine at a predeter-mined gage length and rate of extension. Using the force-extension curve, the breaking force and elongation at break aredetermined. The force-elongation curve and linear density areused to calculate breaking tenacity, initial modulus, chordmodulus, tange
19、nt modulus, tensile stress at specified elonga-tion, and breaking toughness.5. Significance and Use5.1 Test Method D 3822 using test specimens having gagelengths of 10 mm (0.4 in.) or greater is considered satisfactoryfor acceptance testing of commercial shipments since the testmethod has been used
20、extensively in the trade for acceptancetesting. Critical differences noted in Tables 1 and 2 wereobtained on man-made fibers having a gage length of 25.4 mm(1.0 in.) and 254 mm (10 in.). Natural fibers or fibers havinglesser or greater gage lengths may provide different values andmay require compara
21、tive testing. (See 5.1.1.)5.1.1 In cases of a dispute arising from differences inreported test results when using Test Method D 3822 foracceptance testing of commercial shipments, the purchaser andthe supplier should conduct comparative tests to determine ifthere is a statistical bias between their
22、laboratories. Competentstatistical assistance is recommended for the investigation ofbias.As a minimum, the two parties should take a group of testspecimens which are as homogeneous as possible and whichare from a lot of material of the type in question. The testspecimens should then be randomly ass
23、igned 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 level chosen by thetwo parties before the testing begins. If a bias is found, eitherits cause must be found and c
24、orrected or the purchaser and thesupplier must agree to interpret future test results for thatmaterial in view of test results with consideration to the knownbias.5.2 The breaking tenacity, calculated from the breakingforce and the linear density, and the elongation are fundamentalproperties that ar
25、e widely used to establish limitations on fiberprocessing or conversion and on their end-use applications.Initial modulus is a measure of the resistance of the fiber toextension at forces below the yield point. The tangent modulusand tensile stress at specified elongation may be used todifferentiate
26、 between the probable performance of fibers inprocessing and end-use performance. The breaking toughnessis an indication of the durability of materials produced from thefiber.5.3 It is recognized that computerized results are usedextensively in the industry. When comparing results from twolaboratori
27、es using computerized tensile testers, the algorithmsused to derive results must be examined for parity, that is, howthe maximum slope and specimen failure or rupture aredetermined.5.4 The breaking strength of wet fibers tested in air may bedifferent from wet fibers tested while immersed.5.4.1 Tests
28、 on wet specimens are usually made only onfibers which show a loss in breaking force when wet or whenexposed to high humidity, for example, yarns made fromanimal fibers and man-made fibers based on regenerated andmodified cellulose. Wet tests are made on flax fiber to detectadulteration by failure t
29、o show a gain in breaking force.TABLE 1 Fiber Tensile Properties Using 25.4 mm (1 in.)
