Page 3 EN 1773 : 1996 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of length and width of textile fabrics that are in a tension-free relaxed state.
14、 The test is applicable to textile fabrics of full width, folded lengthwise down the middle, or in tubular form, but no longer than 1 O0 m. This standard does not specify a method to determine or describe construction defects or other defects. This standard is not applicable to coated fabrics. 2 Nor

17、ty assurance requirements for measuring equipment - Part 1 : Metrological confir- mation system for measuring equipment 3 Definitions For the purposes of this standard, the following definitions apply: 3.1 Length of piece The distance between the beginning and the end of the sample in the lengthwise
18、 or machine direction. 3.2 Overall width of piece The distance between the outermost edges of the sample measured perpendicular to the longitudinal edges. 3.3 Usable width of piece The width of the fabric excluding any selvedge materials, marks, pin-holes or other non-homogeneous areas of the fabric
19、. NOTE: For some end uses or specifications the usable width may be defined differently, as agreed between the interested Darties. 4 Principle A sample of textile fabric, conditioned in the relaxed state in the standard atmosphere for testing, is laid out on a smooth surface. A calibrated rule is us
20、ed to determine the length and the width of the piece. For determination of the length of a sample it may be necessary to measure partial lengths. The total length,of the sample then results from the sum of length of these partial lengths. 5 Sampling Samples shall be selected either in accordance wi
21、th the procedure laid down in the material specification for the fabric or as agreed between the interested parties. Page 4 EN 1773 : 1996 6 Apparatus 6.1 Calibrated rule, conforming to IS0 10012-1, and having a length greater than the width of the fabric, graduated in millimetres. 6.2 Measuring tab
22、le having a smooth flat surface and a width and length greater than the fabric when placed for measuring. The table shall be at least 3 m in length to allow measuring of samples with a length greater than 2 m. Along the two longest parallel sides of the table consecutive markers are placed at disian
23、ces of 1 m * 1 mm. The distance of the first marker from the nearest end of the table shall be 0.5 m to allow proper positioning of the sample. For long pieces to be measured in partial lengths the whole piece shall be placed on the table during the measurement of the individual length intervalssee
24、annex A). 7 The atmospheres for preconditioning, conditioning and testing shall be as specified in EN 201 39. Atmosphere for conditioning, testing and relaxation The fabric shall be conditioned and measured in the relaxed state. To ensure the relaxed state, the sample shall be laid out, free of tens
25、ion, either in its full width, folded down the middle along the length of fabric, or tubular, depending on the make up of the sample. NOTE: An illustration of handling of fabrics of great length is given in annex A. To ensure if the relaxed state is reached, place preliminary markers at two interval
26、s along the fabric. The sample shall be considered adequately relaxed if the difference between length measurements at time intervals of 24h is less than 0,25 %. If knitted fabrics are to be tested not as received but after special treatment this shall be apreed by the interested parties and shall b
27、e stated in the test report. 8 Procedure 8.1 General The sample shall be laid out flat on the surface of the measuring table. The test shall be performed on the fabric as made up in full width or folded down the middle along the length of the fabric or in tubular form. Avoid distortion of the fabric
28、 in its own plane. 8.2 Measuring the length of the sample 8.2.1 Samples shorter than 1 m Samples having a length of less than 1 m shall be measured by placing the rule (see 6.1) parallel to the longitudinal edges to the nearest millirnetre. Repeat the procedure of measuring the full length of the sa
29、mple three times at different places across the width of the fabric. 8.2.2 Samples longer than 1 m Mark the fabric at the edges. Place second markers at a distance of 1 m using the markers on the table as stated in 6.2. Mark the entire sample in consecutive increments of 1 m. The residual length of
30、less than 1 m is measured using the calibrated rule described in 6.1. The total length of the sample is the sum of the 1 m increments plus the residual length. Repeat the procedure three times with new marker strokes being placed on the sample if necessary. The interested parties shall agree in adva
31、nce whether the connecting strips at the beginning and the end of the sample are to be included in the length measurement. Page 5 EN 1773: 1996 8.3 Measuring the width of the sample The width of fabrics made up full width is the distance between the outermost edges measured perpendicular to the edge
32、s. The width of a fabric folded vertical down the middle is double the distance from the folded edge to the congruently superimposed outer edges, measured perpendicular to the folded edge. If the outer edges are not superimposed congruently, the measurement shall be made from the folded edge to the
33、edge nearest to it. This shall be stated in the test report. The width of a fabric in tubular form is the distance from edge to edge measured perpendicular to the edges when the sample is positioned properly and the edges are kept flat. Measure the width of the sample distributed uniformly over the
34、entire length of the sample. For Sample length up to 5 m: 5 determinations; Sample length up to Sample length more than 20 m: at least 10 determinations at distances of 2 m; 20 m: 1 O determinations; If the width of the fabrics is not to be measured as the overall width from edge to edge then the pa
35、rties interested in the result shall agree on the definition of the usable width. This shall be stated in the test report. If the usable width is to be measured, then the measurements shall be made according to the overall width, but avoiding any selvedge etc. described in 3.3. The usable width may
36、be defined differently because of variations in weaving construction or because of special requirements for the manufacturing of garments or other made-up products. 9 Calculation and expression of results 9.1 Length of piece Calculate the arithmetic mean of the length of the sample in metre to the n
37、earest centimetre. If required, calculate the coefficient of variation in percent to the nearest 1 YO and the 95% confidence limits to the nearest centimetre, or state the results of the individual measurements in metre to the nearest centimetre. 9.2 Width of piece Calculate the arithmetic mean of t
38、he width of the sample in metres to the nearest centimetre and, if required, the coefficient of variation in percent to the nearest 1 % and the 95% confidence limits to the nearest centimetre. 10 lest report The test report shall include the following information: 1 O. 1 General information al b) c)

Annex A (informative) Arrangement for conditioning, relaxing and measurement A convenient and effective method of arranging a long piece of fabric for conditioning s
43、o that it is free from applied tension and is well exposed to the conditioning atmosphere is to unroll the piece and lay it in loose corrugated folds of suitable size. (See figure A.l) During marking and measuring, it is essential that the piece of fabric whose width is being determined should be fr
44、ee from tension as it lies on the measuring table. To achieve this, it has been found convenient to cuttle- fold (see figure A.21 the ends of the piece which extend beyond the portion being measured, thus producing a stack of fabric at each end of the portion being measured. If the measuring table i
45、s too short to enable this method to be used, supplementary tables may be used at each end of the measuring surface, provided that such extra tables are exactly the same height and at least as wide as the main table, and that they are so placed as to form (with the measuring table) a continuous rectangular surf ace.
