1、Designation: D6774 02 (Reapproved 2010)Standard Test Method forCrimp and Shrinkage Properties for Textured Yarns Using aDynamic Textured Yarn Tester1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6774; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,
2、in the case of revision, the year of last revision. 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 determination of crimpcontraction, residual fiber shr
3、inkage and their variability of alltypes of filament yarns (partially oriented yarn (POY), fullyoriented yarn (FOY), flat yarns, textured and bulked continu-ous filament (BCF) carpet yarns) using an automated tester.NOTE 1For another method of testing crimp in textured yarns, refer toTest Method D40
4、31.1.1.1 This method may also be used for non-textured yarns.1.2 This test method is limited to crimped, multi-filamentyarns ranging from 22.0 to 890 dtex (15 to 800 denier) and forBCF yarns from 890 to 4200 dtex (800 to 3800 denier).1.3 The values stated in either SI or US customary units areto be
5、regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the U.S.customary units are in parentheses. The values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shallbe used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in nonconformance with the method.1
6、.4 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 applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Do

17、ome yarns, elapsed time between processing andtesting has a marked effect on the results, of this test, especiallyduring the first 72 h. The effect is caused by stress decay whichis known to be minimal beyond the seventh day and afterwhich time the yarn remains relatively stable. Therefore,specimens
18、 should only be compared if tested after the sameelapsed time. Samples can be tested at-line, thus having little tono elapsed time between processing and testing.6.

Precision and Bi
41、as13.1 PrecisionAn interlaboratory study was performed toestimate variability of the test method. The study included 12laboratories. Four operators were used to measure three speci-mens for five different yarns, which develop crimp in hot wetconditions on two different days. ANOVA was used to deter-
42、mine variance components:Method repeatability is defined as the “maximum difference”that can “reasonably” be expected between two test resultsobtained on the same material when the test results areobtained in the same laboratory. Repeatability standard devia-tion, sr, is taken to be the square root
43、of the “specimen”variance component, and represents within-operator precision.Method reproducibility is defined as the “maximum difference”that can “reasonably” be expected between two test resultsobtained on the same material when the test results areobtained from different laboratories.4sR, the to
44、tal standarddeviation, is formed by taking the square root of the sum ofintra- and inter-laboratory variance components.13.2 BiasThe procedure of this test method produces atest value that can be defined only in terms of a test method.There is no independent referee method by which bias may bedeterm
