8、erminology D 123.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Bench marks are placed on a length of a yarn as it liesin a woven fabric. The distance between the bench marks ismeasured. The yarn is removed from the fabric, straightened byapplying suitable tension, and the distance between the benchmarks is remeasure
9、d. Yarn crimp is the change in lengthexpressed as a percent and based on the in-fabric distance. Yarntake-up is the change in length expressed as a percent andbased on the out-of-fabric distance.5. Significance and Use5.1 The relationship of the length of a piece of fabric and thelength of yarn in t
10、he fabric can be determined accurately onlybe measuring the length of yarn entering the loom and thelength of fabric made from that particular length of yarn. Inmost cases, however, the determination must of necessity bemade on a woven fabric by measuring the length of yarnremoved from a measured le
11、ngth of fabric, thus introducingcertain variations that will influence the accuracy of the test.Yarn removed from the woven fabric contains undulations orwaves that have been introduced by the weaving process. Heat,moisture, and mechanical shrinkage on subsequent finishingoperations may accentuate t
12、hese undulations, and in all prob-ability, increase the force to pull them out and straighten theyarn. In order to accurately measure the length of the yarn afterthe removal of the crimp, these undulations must be pulled outwithout elongating the yarn. In some cases, the minimum forcenecessary to st
13、raighten the yarn will cause a certain amount ofthe elongation to take place, thus increasing the length of theyarn. Also, stresses imposed upon the yarn during the weavingprocess may have been sufficient to stretch the yarn beyond itselastic limit, again increasing its length. It is recognized that
14、determination made by measuring length of yarn removed froma measured length of fabric may tend to give crimp values thatare somewhat higher than the crimp in the yarn as it lay in thefabric. In the case of fabrics made from yarns that exhibitdifferential shrinkage, or yarns of widely different coun
15、t, oryarns woven at different tensions, the crimp of each type ofyarn in the fabric must be determined and reported separately.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D13 on Textilesand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D13.59 on Fabric Test Methods,General.Current e

18、hod can be used for acceptance testing ofcommercial shipments but comparisons should be made withcaution because information on estimates of between-laboratory precision is limited as noted in 13.1.5.2.1 If there are differences of practical significance be-tween reported test results for two labora
19、tories (or more),comparative tests should be performed to determine if their isa statistical bias between them, using competent statisticalassistance. As a minimum, ensure the test samples to be usedare as homogeneous as possible, are drawn from the materialfrom which the disparate test results were
20、 obtained, and arerandomly assigned in equal numbers to each laboratory fortesting. The test results from the two laboratories should becompared using a statistical test for unpaired data, at aprobability level chosen prior to the testing series. If a bias isfound, either its cause must be found and
21、 corrected, or futuretest results for that material must be adjusted in considerationof the known bias.6. Apparatus6.1 Suitable Device4, for straightening the yarn throughapplication of horizontal or vertical tension, having two yarnsupport surfaces or two clamps, the distance between whichmay be al
22、tered in order to apply the needed tension.6.2 Suitable Marking Device, for marking bench marks onthe yarn specimen.7. Sampling and Test Specimens7.1 Primary Sampling UnitConsider rolls of fabric orfabric components of fabricated systems to be the primarysampling unit, as applicable.7.2 Laboratory S
23、ampling UnitAs a laboratory samplingunit take from rolls two pieces of fabric, full width, each 375mm (15 in.) in length along the selvage (machine direction)after removing a first 1-mm (1-yd) length. For fabric compo-nents of fabricated systems use the entire system.7.3 Test SpecimensFrom each labo
24、ratory sampling unit,as required for each the warpwise and fillingwise directions,take ten test specimens, each 300 mm (14 in.) long as directionin Section 9. Consider the long direction as the direction of test.7.3.1 For fabric widths 125-mm (5-in.) or more, take nospecimen closer than 25-mm (1-in.
25、) from the selvage edge.7.3.2 For fabric widths less than 125-mm (5-in.), use theentire width for specimens.7.3.3 Ensure specimens are free of folds, creases, orwrinkles. Avoid getting oil, water, grease, etc., on the speci-mens when handling.7.3.4 If the fabric has a pattern, ensure that the specim
26、ensare a representative sampling of the pattern.8. Conditioning8.1 Condition the specimens by bringing them to approxi-mate moisture equilibrium in the standard atmosphere forconditioning textiles as directed in Practice D 1776.9. Preparation of Test Apparatus and Calibration9.1 Set-up procedures fo
27、r machines from different manufac-turers may vary. Prepare and verify calibration of the testingdevice as directed in the manufacturers instructions.10. Procedure10.1 Test the specimens in the standard atmosphere fortesting textiles, as described in Practice D 1776.10.2 Handle the test specimens car
28、efully to avoid alteringthe natural state of the material.10.3 Test ten specimens from the warpwise direction or tenspecimens from the fillingwise direction, or both, as required ina material specification or contact order.10.4 Using the marking device, make two lines (benchmarks) 250 mm (10 in.) ap
29、art, perpendicular to the yarn beingtested and extending 25 mm (1 in.) into the fabric, and recordthe distance between bench marks as distance (F) (in-fabricdistance).10.4.1 If a direct reading device is used, follow the manu-facturers recommendations for establishing the specimenlength.10.5 Prepare
30、 an edge by making a cut at least 350 mm (14in.) long, parallel, and in the direction of the yarn to bemeasured, and such that it crosses near the ends of both linesof the bench mark.10.6 Ravel several yarns from the cut edge, such that theycontain the bench marks.10.7 One at a time, when ready to u
31、se, ravel ten yarnspecimens from the prepared edge of the fabric. Ensure that thebench marks appear on each yarn. Take care not to disturb thetwist or strain the yarn. Maintain identity of the fabric directionbeing evaluated, that is, warpwise or fillingwise.10.8 Fasten one of the yarn specimens in
32、the clamps of atensioning device or, if applicable, in the proper position of theyarn supports of a direct reading crimp tester with the benchmarks coincident with the nips of the respective clamps that areset for the initial in-fabric length.10.8.1 Clamp type devices may consist of a twist counterf
33、itted with graduated sliding clamp, or a tension testingmachine or which the movement or action can be stoppedinstantly at any point, such as the constant-rate-of-elongation(CRE-Type) or other similar instrument. For a direct readingcrimp tester, the yarn is placed under the hook of the movableshaft
34、 with the bench marks on the yarn aligned with the upperfixed yarn supports.10.9 Apply a force to the yarn just sufficient to removeundulations due to weaving, without imparting stretch asdetermined by using one of the following three options.NOTE 1The three options can give different results. For m
35、aximumprecision between laboratories, it is recommended that the laboratories usethe same equipment and the same option.10.9.1 Option A, By HandStraighten the yarn by handagainst a scale graduated in 1 mm (116 in.), observe and recordthe distance between bench marks to the nearest 1 mm (116 in.)as (
36、Y) (straightened yarn distance).NOTE 2This is the least accurate option because the tension requiredto remove crimp is unknown.4Commercially available devices that have been found acceptable are a twisttester with tension device, a tensile testing machine, and a crimp tester of the directreading typ
37、e.D 3883 04 (2008)210.9.2 Option B, by Tension Device or Crimp TesterUsingone of the tensioning devices or crimp tester, apply a tensionforce based upon the known yarn size. If the tension force isnot sufficient to remove all the crimp, gradually increase thetension force until the crimp just remove
38、d. Use the determinedforce on all the yarns in the set and proportional force on anyother samples in the series or test.10.9.2.1 Estimate the required tension force using Eq 1:Tensile force, g 5 yarn number in tex 3 0.25 (1)10.9.3 Option C, Tensile Testing MachineUsing aconstant-rate-of-extension (C
39、RE-type) of testing machine, de-termine the force to remove undulations by analysis of aforce-extension as described in 10.9.3.1.10.9.3.1 Establish Point A as the point where the force-extension curve begins, that is, zero force and zero extension.Extrapolate the straight-line portion of the force-e
40、xtensioncurve through the extension axis, Line CE. The portion of thecurveAD represents the removal of the crimp and initial stretchof the yarn. Establish Point D where the force-extension curveseparates from the line CE. Establish Point B by constructinga line from Point C, parallel to the force ax
41、is to curve AD.Establish Point L by constructing a line from Point B throughthe force axis, parallel to the extension axis. The forcecorresponding to Point L is the required tensile force to removethe crimp without stretching (see Fig. 1).10.10 Determine and record the length of the yarn to theneare
