This European Standard shall be given the status of a national sta
12、ndard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 1998, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 1998. According to the CENEENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are b
13、ound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland. Ireland. Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Page 3 EN 12127: 1997 Introduction This method for the determi
14、nation of mass per unit area is based on the measurement of small samples of fabrics in the conditioned and/or oven-dry state. Other possible methods are described in IS0 3801 Textiles - Woven Fabrics - Determination of mass per unit length and mass per unit area. 1 Scope This standard describes met
15、hods for the determination of the mass per unit area using small samples in the standard atmosphere for testing and/or oven-dry. It is applicable to woven and knitted fabrics. It may also be applicable to fabrics produced by other techniques. 2 Normative References This European Standard incorporate

For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European s

18、uring equipment - Part 1 : Metrological confirmation system for measuring equipment. (IS0 1 O01 2-1 : 1992) 3 Definition For the purposes of this Standard the following definitions apply: 3.1 mass per unit area: Mass of a known area of fabric divided by that area, expressed in grams per square metre
19、. 4 Principle The sample of fabric is conditioned in the relaxed state, specimens are cut, and weighed in the conditioned and/or oven-dry state, and the mass per unit area is calculated. 5 Sampling 5.1 Sampling from fabrics Select specimens either in accordance with the procedure laid down in the ma
20、terial specification for the fabric, or as agreed between the interested parties. In the absence of an appropriate material specification an example of a suitable sampling procedure is given in Annex A. An example for selecting test specimens from a laboratory sample is given in Annex B. Avoid test
21、specimens with folded or creased areas, selvedges and areas not representative of the fabric. For non-homogeneous fabrics select specimens representative of the various areas which shall be defined as agreed between the interested parties. Page 4 EN 12127: 1997 5.2 Sampling from garments When possib
22、le take a specimen from each of the different parts or elements of the garment. Example: For long leg underwear take two specimens from each leg and one from the top section. 6 Apparatus Testing equipment used shall conform to EN 3001 2-1 :1993 6.1 Cutting devices 6.1 .I Cutting device with an area
23、of cut of minimum 100 cm2 capable of cutting to an accuracy of k 1 %. 6.1.2 Scissors, if no cutting device is to be used. 6.2 Rule graduated in 0,5 mm. 6.3 6.5 6.6 6.7 Desiccator. Balance accurate to * 1 mg. Weighing bottles of suitable dimensions for the test specimens. Drying oven capable of maint
24、aining (105 3) OC and equipped with air circulation. 7 Atmosphere for conditioning and testing The atmosphere for preconditioning, conditioning and testing shall be as specified in EN 201 39:1993 8 Procedure 8.1 Relaxation of fabrics It is important to assure that the fabrics are in the relaxed stat
25、e prior to testing. The fabrics shall be kept in a flat tension-free state for at least 24 h, during conditioning as specified in clause 7. Knitted fabrics may require a prior relaxation treatment in addition, as agreed between the parties. This shall be stated in the test report. 8.2 Determination
26、of area Cut out at least five test specimens of minimum 1 O0 cm2 using the cutting device (6.1 .l) or scissors (6.1.2), avoiding distortion of the fabric. When using the cutting device use the area of the cutting device for the calculation (see clause 9). When using scissors take three measurements
27、of the length and three of the width of each test specimen, to the nearest 1 mm. From the mean values of length and width calculate the cut area of each test specimen, rounding the result to three significant figures. Use this measured area for the calculation (see clause 9). 8.3 Determination of ma
28、ss in the standard atmosphere for testing. Weigh the individual test specimens and record each value, to the nearest 1 mg. Page 5 EN 12127: 1997 8.4 Determination of oven-dry mass. Preheat the oven to (105 i 3) OC. Place the test specimens individually in weighing bottles and place the bottles with
29、the lid adjacent to them in the oven and dry to constant mass, which shall be considered as attained when no progressive change in mass greater than 0,l % occurs in successive weighings seperated by a drying period of at least 40 min. NOTE: Experience has shown that a four hour drying period is suff
30、icient for most textile fabrics. After drying place the lids on the weighing bottles and cool the bottles in a desiccator. Weigh the specimen in the bottle, and the bottle alone, and record each value. Calculate the individual oven-dry mass of each test specimen. 9 Expression of results For each tes
31、t specimen, calculate the mass per unit area, M, in grams per square meter using the following formula: mx loo00 A M= where: m is the mass of a test specimen conditioned or oven-dry, in grams; A is the area of the same test specimen, in square centimetres. Calculate the mean mass per unit area in gr
32、ams per square metre and round the result to three significant figures. If required, calculate the coefficient of variation to the nearest 0,l %, the 95 % confidence limits and/or minimum and maximum values, rounded to three significant figures. IO Test report The report shall include the following
33、information. a) The reference to this standard and the date of test; b) identification of the test sample and if required, the sampling procedure; c) any treatment applied to the material before the test, and especially for knitted fabrics if any specific relaxation procedure has been carried out; d
34、) the conditions of testing, in the standard atmosphere andlor oven-dry; e) any deviation from the given procedure; f) mean mass per unit area, in grams per square metre; g) if required, the coefficient of variation, in percent; h) if required, the 95 percent confidence limits, in grams per square m
35、etre; i) if required, minimum and maximum values for test specimens, in grams per square metre.
