1、Designation: D 4113 02Standard Performance Specification forWoven Slipcover Fabrics1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4113; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in
2、parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This performance specification covers woven fabricscomprised of any textile fiber or mixture of fibers to be used inslipcovers.1.2 These require
3、ments apply to both the length and widthdirections for those properties where fabric direction is perti-nent.1.3 This standard 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

15、PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.5.2 It should be recognized that fabrics can be producedwith an almost infinite number of combination of constructionvariables (for example, type of fibers, percentage of fibers, yarntwist, yarn number, warp and pick count, chemical andmec
16、hanical finishes). Additionally, fashion or aesthetics dictatethat the ultimate consumer may find acceptable articles madefrom fabrics that do not conform to all of the requirements inTable 1.5.2.1 Hence, no single performance specification can possi-bly apply to all the various fabrics that could b

Test Methods (see Note 1)6.1 Breaking Force Determine the dry breaking force, inthe standard atmosphere for testing textiles, as
18、 directed in TestMethod D 5034, using a constant rate of extension (CRE)tensile-testing machine.6.2 Resistance to Yarn SlippageDetermine the resistanceto yarn slippage as directed in Test Method D 434.NOTE 2The precision of Method D 434 is being established, and itmay not be suitable for fabrics wit

21、sionalchange after three dry cleanings as directed in 10.1.1 through10.1.5 of Test Methods D 2724 or as agreed upon between thepurchaser and the supplier (Note 3).NOTE 3Launderable fabrics are expected to be dry-cleanable exceptwhere all or part of the fabric is not dry-cleanable and is so labeled.
22、Forexample, the fabric could contain a functional finish that is soluble in thesolvent, or the fiber could be degraded by the solvent, as would be the casewith poly(vinyl chloride) fiber. “Dry-cleanable” goods are to be dry-cleaned only.6.6 Colorfastness:6.6.1 Burnt Gas Fumes Determine the colorfast
