1、Designation: D 6614 07Standard Test Method forStretch Properties of Textile Fabrics CRE Method1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6614; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A
2、 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 covers the determination of the amountof fabric stretch and fabric growth after a specified extensionand held for a
3、specified time.1.2 While this method can be used for any fabric, knitfabrics having high stretch are better measured by test methodD 2594.1.3 This test method should not be used to measure thebreaking strength and elongation of woven fabrics, which iscovered in Test Methods D 5034 and D 5035.1.4 The
4、 values listed in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as the standard. Within the text,the inch-pound units are shown in parentheses. The valuesstated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalue
5、s from the two systems may result in nonconformancewith specification.1.5 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 and health practices and determine the
6、 applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

9、mmary of Test Method4.1 Fabric Stretch and Fabric Growth A specified load isapplied to a fabric specimen, using a constant rate of extensiontensile tester at a prescribed rate of extension. After holding atthe specified load for a predetermined time, the length ismeasured. The load is removed from t
10、he specimen and allowedto relax for a specified time. A small amount of force, enoughto remove any wrinkles or folds, is applied and the specimenlength measured. The amount of fabric stretch is calculatedfrom the difference in length prior to load and under load.Fabric growth is calculated from the
11、difference in length priorto loading and after relaxation.5. Significance and Use5.1 This method is used to determine the stretch and growthproperties which a garment made of the fabric may be expectedto exhibit during use.5.2 This is a new method and therefore the history of data isvery small, howe
12、ver the excellent agreement of between-laboratory data suggest this method may be considered foracceptance testing of commercial shipments.5.2.1 If there are differences of practical significance be-tween reported test results for two laboratories (or more),comparative test should be performed to de
13、termine if there is astatistical bias between them, using competent statistical assis-tance. As a minimum, samples used for such comparative testsshould be as homogeneous as possible, drawn from the samelot of material as the samples that resulted in disparate resultsduring initial testing, and rand
14、omly assigned in equal numbersto each laboratory. Other fabrics with established test valuesmay also be used for these comparative tests. The test resultsfrom the laboratories involved should be compared using astatistical test for unpaired data, at a probability level chosenprior to the testing ser

When applicable, use the entire fabric component of thefabricated systems.7.3 Test Specimen SelectionFrom each laboratory sam-pling unit, take test specimens with the long direction parallelto the stretch

Avoid getting oil, water, grease, etc. on the specimenwhen handling.7.3.6 If the fabric has a pattern, ensure that the specimensare a representative sampling of the pattern.7.4 Specimen PreparationAs test specimens from eachl
25、aboratory sampling unit, proceed as follows:7.4.1 For woven fabrics, cut two strips 65 by 350 mm (2.5by 14 in.) with the long dimension parallel to the stretchdirection.7.4.1.1 Ravel the strips to form test specimens to 50 6 0.5mm (2 6 0.02 in.) width by taking approximately the samenumber of yarns
26、from each side of the specimen.7.4.2 For knitted and nonwoven fabrics, cut two test speci-mens, 50 6 0.5 mm (2 6 0.02 in.) wide by 350 mm (14 in.)with the long dimension parallel to the stretch direction.8. Conditioning8.1 Condition each sample as directed in Practice D 1776,prior to cutting the tes
27、t specimens.9. Preparation and Calibration of Test Apparatus9.1 Set-up procedures for machines from different manufac-turers may vary. Prepare and verify calibration of the tensiletester using directions supplied by the manufacturer.9.2 Set the distance between the jaw faces 250 6 0.5 mm(10 6 0.02 i
28、n.).9.3 Select an appropriate extension speed. Fabrics with verylittle stretch should be extended at a slow speed and fabricswith high stretch at a faster speed. The extension speed is notcritical to the test but consideration must be given to theresponse of the test apparatus to ensure the machine

Procedure10.1 Make all tests in the standard atmosphere for testingtextiles.10.2 Place one specimen in the upper jaw, making sure thelong direction of the specimen is parallel to the sides of the jawfaces.10.3 Place
30、the other end of the specimen in the bottom jaw,applying just enough force to remove any folds or wrinkles.10.4 Start the machine and hold at 1814 6 1.0 g (4.0 6 0.02lb.) for 5 6 0.1 min. The electronically controlled machineshould record all the measurements necessary for the finalcalculations.10.5
31、 If the machine is not electronically controlled, stop thecrosshead at 1814 6 l.0g(46 0.02 lb.) Maintain the load byadjusting the crosshead until 5 6 0.1 min. has elapsed.Measure the distance between the jaw faces.10.6 Return the crosshead to the starting position and holdfor 5 6 0.1 min.10.7 Move t
32、he crosshead to a position where all the slack isremoved or the load increases above the zero load line.Measure the distance between jaw faces at this point.11.

Precision and Bias13.1 Interlaboratory Test DataAn interlaboratory test wasperformed
36、in April 1997. Following section 8.1, 2 test speci-mens were cut from each laboratory sample and their stretchand growth measured. The averages of percent stretch andgrowth were calculated as in section 11.2. A total of 10specimens from each of three materials were tested in twolaboratories by a sin
37、gle operator in each laboratory. Thisgenerated 5 averages of 2 specimens as directed in section11.2. Using SAS Proc Varcomp4the within-laboratory andbetween-laboratory components of variance as Standard De-viations for percent stretch and percent growth were deter-mined. These results appear in Tabl
38、e 1.13.2 PrecisionFor the components of variance reported inTable 1, two averages of observed values should be consideredsignificantly different at the 95 % probability level if thedifference exceeds the critical differences listed in Table 2.Adetermination is the average of 2 specimens as specified
