2、ic Works and Government Services Canada. CGSB is engaged in the production of voluntary standards in a wide range of subject areas through the media of standards committees and the consensus process. The standards committees are composed of representatives of relevant interests including producers,
3、consumers and other users, retailers, governments, educational institutions, technical, professional and trade societies, and research and testing organizations. Any given standard is developed on the consensus of views expressed by such representatives. CGSB has been accredited by the Standards Cou
4、ncil of Canada as a national standards-development organization. The standards that it develops and offers as National Standards of Canada conform to the criteria and procedures established for this purpose by the Standards Council of Canada. In addition to standards it publishes as National Standar
5、ds of Canada, CGSB produces standards to meet particular needs, in response to requests from a variety of sources in both the public and private sectors. Both CGSB standards and CGSB national standards are developed in conformance with the policies described in the CGSB Policy and Procedures Manual
6、for the Development and Maintenance of Standards. CGSB standards are subject to review and revision to ensure that they keep abreast of technological progress. CGSB will initiate the review of this standard within five years of the date of publication. Suggestions for their improvement, which are al
7、ways welcome, should be brought to the notice of the standards committees concerned. Changes to standards are issued either as separate amendment sheets or in new editions of standards. An up-to-date listing of CGSB standards, including details on latest issues and amendments, and ordering instructi
8、ons, is found in the CGSB Catalogue at our Web site www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/ ongc-cgsb along with more information about CGSB products and services. Although the intended primary application of this standard is stated in its Scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the user
9、s of the standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose. The testing and evaluation of a product against this standard may require the use of materials and/or equipment that could be hazardous. This document does not purport to address all the safety aspects associated with its use.
10、Anyone using this standard has the responsibility to consult the appropriate authorities and to establish appropriate health and safety practices in conjunction with any applicable regulatory requirements prior to its use. CGSB neither assumes nor accepts any responsibility for any injury or damage
11、that may occur during or as the result of tests, wherever performed. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this Canadian standard may be the subject of patent rights. CGSB shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Users of this standard

13、dards Council of Canada (SCC) is the coordinating body of the Canadian standardization network, which is composed of people and organizations involved in the development, promotion and implementation of standards. Through the collaborative efforts of Canadian standardization network members, standar
14、dization is helping to advance the social and economic well-being of Canada and to safeguard the health and safety of Canadians. The networks efforts are overseen by SCC. The principal objectives of SCC are to foster and promote voluntary standardization as a means of advancing the national economy,
15、 supporting sustainable development, benefiting the health, safety and welfare of workers and the public, assisting and protecting the consumer, facilitating domestic and international trade, and furthering international cooperation in relation to standardization. An important facet of the Canadian
16、standards development system is the use of the following principles: consensus; equal access and effective participation by concerned interests; respect for diverse interests and identification of those who should be afforded access to provide the needed balance of interests; mechanism for dispute r
17、esolution; openness and transparency; open access by interested parties to the procedures guiding the standards development process; clarity with respect to the processes; and Canadian interest consideration as the initial basis for the development of standards. A National Standard of Canada (NSC) i
18、s a standard prepared or reviewed by an SCC-accredited SDO and approved by the SCC according to NSC approval requirements. Approval does not refer to the technical content of the standard, as this remains the responsibility of the SDO. An NSC reflects a consensus of a number of capable individuals w
19、hose collective interests provide, to the greatest practicable extent, a balance of representation of general interests, producers, regulators, users (including consumers) and others with relevant interests, as may be appropriate to the subject at hand. NSCs are intended to make a significant and ti
20、mely contribution to the Canadian interest. Those who have a need to apply standards are encouraged to use NSCs. These standards are subject to periodic review. Users of NSCs are cautioned to obtain the latest edition from the SDO that publishes the standard. The responsibility for approving standar

33、ar to International Standard ISO 5084, Textiles Determination of thickness of textiles andtextile products. The sizes of the pressor feet required by the ISO Standard are not in agreement with NorthAmerican test equipment.1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE1.1 This method measures the thickness of textile fabrics
34、as determined between parallel plane surfaces under anarbitrary pressure. Since all textile fabrics are compressible, the thickness measured will depend upon the pressureapplied.2. PRINCIPLE2.1 The fabric is subjected to compression between two parallel plane surfaces whose perpendicular separation
35、is takento the thickness of the fabric at the pressure applied.3. REFERENCED PUBLICATIONS3.1 The following publications are referenced in this method:3.1.1 Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB)CAN/CGSB-4.2 Textile Test Methods:No. 1 Precision and Accuracy of MeasurementsNo. 2 Conditioning Textile
36、Materials for Testing.3.2 A reference to a regulation is always to the latest issue. A dated reference is to the issue specified. An undatedreference is to the latest issue (including amendments), unless otherwise specified by the authority applying thismethod. The sources are given in the Notes sec
37、tion.4. APPARATUS4.1 The instrument used for the determination of thickness of fabrics shall be capable of measurement to the nearest0.03 mm. It shall be equipped with a presser foot, not less than 25 mm in diameter, for use with tightly woven(relatively noncompressible) materials with a fine or tig
38、ht weave or knit structure, and with a second presser foot,not less than 75 mm in diameter, for use with napped or pile (easily compressible) and loosely woven or open knitmaterials.14.2 The instrument shall be capable of applying pressures ranging from 0.007 to 10 kPa on the smaller foot, and from0
39、.007 to 1.0 kPa on the larger foot. These pressures shall in each case be known with an error not greater than 2%.1Recommended minimum presser foot areas and corresponding diameters:Area Diameter(cm2)(mm)5 25.23 0.0350 79.8 0.11ReaffirmedNovember 2013The surfaces of the presser feet and the referenc
40、e plate of the instrument shall be both plane and parallel within0.025 mm.5. TEST SPECIMEN5.1 The specimen may be of any size provided its minimum dimension is at least 12 mm greater than the diameter of thepresser foot used.6. PROCEDURE6.1 Condition the specimen in accordance with CAN/CGSB-4.2 No.
41、2 before testing.6.2 Place the specimen upon the anvil of the instrument, flat, but without tension. Lower the presser foot onto the fabricwithout impact until the specified pressure is established, and allow it to remain at this pressure for 30 s. Unlessotherwise selected, an applied pressure of 1
42、+ 0.01 kPa is recommended.6.3 Raise the presser foot and position the sample or test specimen, without tension or distortion, on the reference plateso that no part of the area to be measured is closer than 50 mm of the selvage unless the material is less than 500 mmwide, in which case measurements m
43、ay not be taken nearer to the selvage than one tenth of the width of the material.Ensure that the area chosen for the test is free from creases. Note the reading of the thickness gauge. Lift the footand make similar observations at not fewer than five different places on the fabric, chosen so as to
44、represent theentire sample.2No measurement shall be made, however, within 50 mm of the selvage unless the material is lessthan 500 mm wide, in which case measurements may not be taken nearer to the selvage than one tenth of the widthof the material. The specimen shall not be allowed to overhang the
45、edges of the anvil unless additional means ofsupport are provided to prevent arching or bowing of the specimen above the anvil.6.4 Lower the presser foot gently onto the specimen until the selected pressure is established and note the gauge readingafter 30 5s.6.5 Determine, in accordance with the pr
46、ocedure in par. 6.3 and 6.4, the thickness of at least five different areas on thesample or at least five test speciments.27. CALCULATION7.1 Determine the thickness of the fabric as measured in accordance with par. 6.5. Take the mean of the five results asthe thickness of the material.38. REPORTRepo

Fax (819) 956-5644.2If the precision with which thickness is to be determined is specified, refer to CAN/CGSB-4.2 No. 1
49、 to determine the number ofmeasurements required. If this is not known, at least five measurements shall be made.3The average result for the determinations made is an estimate of the true average for the material under test. A measure of thereliability of this estimate can be obtained by determining the confidence interval (CAN/CGSB-4.2 No. 1, par. 6.2) within whichthe true mean will lie for any given probability.2 No. 37-2002
