Significance and Use4.1 Fabrics intended for this end-use should meet all of therequirements listed in Table 1.4.2 It should be recognized that fabric can be producedutilizing an almost infinite
16、 number of combination of construc-tion variables (e.g., type of fibers, percentage of fibers, yarntwist, yarn number, warp and pick count, chemical andmechanical finishes). Additionally, fashion or aesthetics dictatethat the ultimate consumer may find acceptable articles madefrom fabrics that do no
17、t conform to all of the requirements inTable 1.4.2.1 Hence, no single performance specification can possi-bly apply to all the various fabrics that could be utilized for thisend-use.4.3 The uses and significance of particular properties andtest methods are discussed in the appropriate sections of th
18、especified test methods.5. Test Methods (See Note 1)5.1 Breaking Strength (woven fabrics only)Determine thebreaking force (load), as directed in the grab test procedure ofTest Method D5034 using a constant-rate-of-extension (CRE)tensile testing machine.NOTE 2If preferred a constant-rate-of-traverse
19、(CRT) tensile testingmachine may be used. There may be no overall correlation between theresults obtained with the CRT machine and the CRE machine. Conse-quently, these two breaking force testers can not be used interchangeably.In case of controversy, the CRE method, Test Method D5034, shallprevail.
20、5.2 Tearing Strength (woven fabrics only)Determine thetearing resistance as directed in Test Method D1424.NOTE 3If preferred, use of Test Method D2261 is permitted withexisting requirements as given in this standard. There may be no overallcorrelation between the results obtained with the Elmendorf
21、machine (TestMethod D1424) and with the tongue tear method (Test Method D2261).Consequently, these testers cannot be used interchangeably.

These methods cannot be usedinterchangeably since
26、 there may be no overall correlation between them (see Note 2, Note 3, Note 4, and Note 5).D7021 05 (2012)2controversy, Test Method D1424 shall prevail.5.3 Yarn Distortion (woven fabric only)Determine theyarn distortion as directed in Test Method D1336.5.4 Resistance to Yarn Slippage (woven fabrics
27、only)Determine the resistance to yarn slippage as directed in TestMethod D434.5.5 Bursting Strength (knit fabrics only)Determine thebursting strength of knit fabrics as directed in Test MethodD3786.NOTE 4If preferred, a consant-rate-of-extension (CRE) tensile testingmachine may be used. Since there
28、is no overall correlation between theresults obtained with the CRE machine equipped with a bursting attach-ment (Test Method D3787) and the diaphragm bursting tester (TestMethod D3786), these two bursting testers cannot be used interchange-ably. In case of controversy, the diaphragm bursting tester
29、method (TestMethod D3786) shall prevail.5.6 Dimensional Change:5.6.1 LaunderingDetermine the dimensional change afterlaunderings as directed in the applicable procedure in AATCCMethod 135.5.6.2 DrycleaningDetermine the dimensional change af-ter dry cleanings as directed in AATCC Test Method 158.NOTE
30、 5Launderable fabrics are expected normally to be drycleaned,except where all or part of the fabric will not withstand drycleaning. Forexample, the fabric could contain a functional finish soluble in the solvent,or the fiber could be degraded by the solvent, which would be the casewith poly (vinyl c
31、hloride) fiber. If a fabric would be harmed by ALLmethods of care except for drycleaning, it should be considered Drycleanonly.5.7 Colorfastness:5.7.1 LaunderingDetermine the colorfastness to launder-ing as directed in the applicable procedure of AATCC Method61.5.7.2 DrycleaningDetermine colorfastne
