1、Designation: D4031 07 (Reapproved 2018)Standard Test Method forBulk Properties of Textured Yarns1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4031; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.
2、A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the changein length of a tensioned skein of textured yarn due to change incrimp characteri
3、stics brought about by exposure to wet or dryheat. The change in length, depending on procedure, is ameasure of skein shrinkage, crimp contraction, bulk shrinkage,or crimp recovery.1.2 This test method applies to crimped, continuous multi-filament yarns ranging from 1.7 to 88.9 tex (15 to 800 denier
4、).1.3 Three conditions are provided for crimp developmentmediums, and loading routines are provided to be used on theyarn skeins to allow determination of yarn bulk by severaldifferent procedures.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded as standard. Within the t
5、ext, the inch-poundunits are shown in parentheses. The values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalent; therefore, each system shall beused independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi-cation.1.5 This standard does not purport to
6、 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, health, and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.6 This international standard was
7、developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.2.

Summary of Test Method4.1 A skein of yarn of a prescribed size (linear density) issubjected to a crimp development medium using a specifiedloading routine. As the crimp is developed or shrinkage occursin the yarn, the ske
11、in changes in length. The lengths of theskein under specified tension forces are used to calculate thevalue of bulk shrinkage, crimp contraction, skein shrinkage, orcrimp recovery.4.2 The test method offers three options for loading routineof the yarn skeins. Loading routines consist of using low-te
12、nsion forces (light loads of 0.04 to 0.98 mN/tex (0.5 to 11mgf/den) that extend without removing crimp, and high-tension forces (heavy loads of 8.8 mN/tex (100 mgf/den) thatremove crimp without elongating the yarn. A list of weights tobe used is given in Table 1. Weight option combinations aredetail

Significance and Use5.1 The values obtained by this test method should not beused to predict similar properties in fabricated structures exceptin narrow well-defined comparisons, such as 16.7 tex (150-denier) polyester from the same feed yarn merge and texturedon the same machine ty

18、etween processing and testing has amarked effect on the results of this test especially during thefirst 72 h. Therefore, specimens should only be compared iftested after the same elapsed time. This effect is caused bystress decay which is known to be minimal beyond the seventhday and after which tim
19、e the sample remains relatively stable.Comparisons are preferably made after the seventh day.5.3 In the case of yarns having a linear density near theupper limit of the skein size directed in Table 3, an error isintroduced when rounding off to full revolutions. Therefore,the calculated values for cr
20、imp contraction, etc., should only becompared with other samples of yarn of the same lineardensity.5.4 OptionAused with crimp development Condition 1 (dryheat oven at 120C (248F) and light loads of 0.04 mN/tex(0.5 mgf/den) and 0.44 mN/tex (5.0 mgf/den) are recom-mended for textured polyester yarns.A

22、 as described in 6.5.2 and9.3.2.5.6 Option C used with crimp development Condition 2(water bath at 82C (180F) and a light load of 0.13 mN/tex(1.5 mgf/den) is recommended for textured nylon yarns. Fortextured polyester yarns, Condition 3 (water bath at 97C(206F) is recommended. Only bulk shrinkage is
23、 calculated.5.7 This test method for the measurement of bulk propertiesis not recommended for acceptance testing of commercialshipments because of lack of precision data.5.7.1 If there are differences or practical significance be-tween reported test results for two laboratories (or more),comparative
24、 tests should be performed to determine if there isa statistical bias between them, using competent statisticalassistance. As a minimum, test samples that are as homoge-neous as possible, drawn from the material from which thedisparate test results were obtained, and randomly assigned inequal number
25、s to each laboratory for testing. The test resultsfrom the two laboratories should be compared using a statis-tical test for unpaired data, at a probability level chosen priorto the testing series. If a bias is found, either its cause must befound and corrected, or future test results for that mater
26、ial mustbe adjusted in consideration of the known bias.6. Apparatus36.1 Skein Reel:6.1.1 GeneralA hand or motor-driven reel having a speci-fied perimeter. The reel shall be fitted with a traversingmechanism that will avoid bunching the successive wraps, andwith an indicator of the length wound. A wa

A revolutioncounter is also recommended.6.1.2 Reel PerimeterThe perimeter shall be 1.0 m (1.09yd) with a tolerance of 62 %. By agreement between pur-chaser and supplier, reel
