1、Designation: D 5278 98 (Reapproved 2004)Standard Test Method forElongation of Narrow Elastic Fabrics (Static-Load Testing)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5278; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision,
2、the year of last revision. A number 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 determines the elongation characteris-tics of narrow elastic fabrics made from natural o

Within the text, theinch-pound units are shown in brackets. The values stated ineac
6、h system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each systemshall be used independently of the other. Combining valuesfrom the two systems may result in nonconformance with thespecifications.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is

Significance and Use5.1 This test method is considered satisfactory for accep-tance testing of commercial shipments of narrow elastic fabricsbecause the test method is used in the trade for acceptancetesting.5.1.1 In
12、 case of a dispute arising from differences inreported test results when using this test method for acceptancetesting of commercial shipments, the parties should conductcomparative tests to determine if there is a statistical biasbetween their laboratories. Competent statistical assistance isrecomme

As a minimum, thetwo parties should take a group of test specimens that are ashomogeneous as possible and that are from a lot of material ofthe type in question.
