The measurement of the relati
21、ve degree of wall thickening is too laborious for most practical purposes, therefore the determination of the maturity of cotton fibres is done by indirect methods. A microscopic method is described in ISO 4912:1981. This method has been used as a reference method for the industrial evaluation of th
22、e maturity of cotton fibres using air flow instruments, which is the object of this standard.4DIN EN ISO 10306:2014-09 EN ISO 10306:2014 (E) 1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies a method for the evaluation of the maturity of loose randomized cotton fibres by measuring the resistance to air f
23、low of a plug of cotton fibres under two prescribed conditions. The method is applicable to cotton taken at random from bales. Laps and slivers or other sources of lint cotton may be tested, however results may differ if fibres are taken from bales.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in w
24、hole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.ISO 139:2005, Textiles Standard atmos

30、entry: The micronaire scale is based on a range of cottons to which micronaire values have been assigned by international agreement. SOURCE: ISO 2403:20144 PrincipleAir is passed through a test specimen consisting of a plug of well-opened randomized cotton fibres. For the same mass of fibres the per
31、meability is measured by two different compressions of the plug. For each compression, air is passed through the plug at a specified rate and the pressure drop across the plug is indicated on a pressure gauge and expressed as the height, in millimetres, of a water column. The pressure drop obtained
32、at low compression of the plug is designated PL and the other, at high compression, is designated PH. These two pressures may be used to calculate a maturity ratio and fibre linear density or a percentage of mature fibres using appropriate formulae. The micronaire value is determined solely from the
33、 PL value.5 Apparatus and materials5.1 Balance, of sufficient capacity to weigh the test specimen required for the air flow instrument used, with a sensitivity of better than 0,005 g.5.2 Air flow instrument (see Annex A).The principal parts comprising the air flow instrument are:5.2.1 Compression cy
34、linder, with perforated end, of such dimensions that with the specified mass of specimen each cubic centimetre of the cylinder shall contain 0,191 1 g of cotton at low compression and 0,382 1 g of cotton at high compression.5.2.2 Means of measuring air permeability of the specimen, comprising for ex
35、ample:a) a suitable air pump;b) two valves or other means for controlling the flow of air through the specimen or the pressure drop across the specimen in the compression cylinder;c) means for setting the required rate of air flow through the specimen and a gauge for measuring the air pressure drop
36、across the specimen.NOTE Details of certain commercially available instruments which comply with this specification are given in Annexes A and B. The method of calibration of air flow instruments is described in Annex B.5.3 International calibration cotton standardsReference cotton used for the cali

38、table.6 Atmosphere for conditioning and testing6.1 Condition test samples in the standard atmosphere for 4 h in moving air or alternatively for 12 h in still air. Preconditioning is not required.6.2 Weigh and test the specimen in the standard atmosphere for conditioning (see ISO 139:2005).7 Sampling
39、 and number of specimensThe sampling scheme, the number of specimens to be tested and the number of measurements to be made on each specimen will normally be determined by the material specification or will be agreed between the interested parties. In the absence of any instructions, test at least t
40、wo specimens, making two tests on each. Samples of raw cotton from bales may be taken according to the method described in ISO 1130:1975.The mass of the test specimens shall be as specified by the manufacturer of the air flow instrument.8 Procedure8.1 Before each series of measurements, make the nec
41、essary preliminary adjustments appropriate to the instrument in use (see Annexes A and B).8.2 Divide the weighed specimen with the fingers into four to six portions, tease each portion out randomly until about 50 mm to 70 mm in diameter and place each portion successively into the sample holder unti
42、l the entire specimen is loaded. Carefully insert the first portion so as to fill in the bottom edges of the sample holder by pushing it well into the bottom of the sample holder and outwards to the edges. Take care to insert all the specimen and not to lose any of the fibres. Insert the compression
43、 plunger and lock it in its position. Avoid fibres sticking between the cylinder wall and the compression plunger.8.3 Cause air to flow through the specimen at the appropriate flow rate for the low compression of the plug and after 10 s note the reading, PL. on the pressure scale of the instrument t
44、o an accuracy of 1 mm of the water column. Next cause air to flow through the specimen at the appropriate flow rate for the high compression of the plug and after 10 s note the reading, PH, on the pressure scale of the instrument to the same accuracy of 1 mm of the water column.8.4 Remove the test s
45、pecimen from the cylinder and reinsert it, reversing the individual portions, and repeat the procedure given in 8.2 and 8.3.8.5 Repeat the procedure given in 8.2 to 8.4 on a second test specimen taken from the same sample.If the PL or PH readings of the two successive specimens from the same sample
46、differ by more than 5 %, it is recommended to examine a new specimen from the same sample and to calculate the average readings for all specimens tested.9 Calculations and expression of resultsAverage the two readings of each pressure drop, PL and PH, taken for each specimen tested from a sample.
