28、s matter that may bepresent. D2118DISCUSSIONThe term “moisture regain” as defined in TerminologyD123, leads to certain difficulties in defining the clean wool basis forcalculation, which do not occur when the term “moisture content” isused. Moisture content can be applied directly to the product in
29、the as-iscondition while moisture regain mercial weight, nbilled weight as determined by agenerally accepted method or as agreed to by the purchaserand the seller. D2720DISCUSSIONFor shipments of commercially designated scouredwool, wool top, or wool noil, the generally accepted commercial weightis

D1294, D2524grade, nin wool and mohair, a numerical designation used inclassif
42、ying wool and mohair in their raw, semi-processed,and processed forms based on average fiber diameter andvariation of fiber diameter. D2130, D3991, D3992DISCUSSIONThis specification expresses the variation in fiber diam-eter by means of the standard deviation of the fiber diametermeasurements. D3991
43、, D3992DISCUSSIONThe term “grade” should not be confused with the terms“quality” and “type.” “Quality” is a term that includes not only finenessbut also characteristics such as length, crimp, strength, elasticity, luster,tactile hand, and color, all of which affect the spinnability of the fiberand t
44、he properties of the resulting yarn and fabric. The Bradforddesignations, for which no standards exist, use a scale similar to that forgrade designations (for example: 64s, 56s, etc.) and refer to quality andnot solely to fineness. “Type” is a term designating a particularcombination of characterist
45、ics applicable to a specific use or descriptiveof geographical origin, breed of sheep, or preparation for market.D3991, D3992grade, nin wool and mohair, a numerical designation used inclassification of fibers in their raw, semi-processed, andprocessed forms based on average fiber diameter and varia-
46、tion of fiber diameter. D6500gray felt, na blend of white fibers with naturally colored ordyed fibers or both and that has an overall gray appearance.D2475grease wool, nwool taken from the living sheep and whichhas not been commercially scoured.D1234, D1574, D1576, D2462hair, nnatural animal fiber o
47、ther than sheeps wool or silk.D4845DISCUSSIONIt is recognized that this definition implies a distinctionbetween sheeps wool and the covering of other animals, notwithstand-ing similarity in their fiber characteristics. Thus the crimped form andthe scaly structure are not confined to sheeps wool. It
48、seems desirablein the textile trade, however, to avoid ambiguity by confining the termwool to the covering of sheep and to have available a general term forother fibers of animal origin. Normally the less widely used fibers areknown by name, for example, alpaca, mohair, etc., but collectively theyar
