The test specimen shall be a square of cloth at least 20by 20 inches. While laid flat without tension, it shall be
10、 inscribed with an 18 by 18 inchsquare equidistant from the edges, and with the sides parallel to the warp and normal fillingdirections. The marked specimen shall be placed in a preheated oven and maintained at atemperature of 350oF (+ 20oF) for 10 minutes. The specimen may be looped over a rod orla
11、id flat on a rack, but shall have free air circulation on both sides. The rod or track shall be alow-conductivity (non-metallic) material.Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-A-A-552953Following the heating period, the specimen shall be re
12、moved from the oven and allowed tocool to room temperature on a flat surface, and then brought to equilibrium under standardconditions as defined in FED-STD-191. Any specimen showing appreciable distortion(skewing or bowing) or puckering shall be cause for rejection of the lot. Each side and eachdia
13、gonal of the inscribed square shall be measured, and the changes from the original warp,filling, and the two diagonal dimensions shall each be reported as the average of the threespecimens (six measurements) to the nearest 0.1 percent.Appreciable distortion shall be reported separately for each spec
14、imen tested. Appreciablemeans a change that is immediately noticeable when comparing the test specimen with theoriginal. If closer inspection is required to make apparent a slight change, the change is notconsidered appreciable.Three specimens shall be tested for each sample unit. One specimen shall
15、 include the selvageon one side of the cloth, one from the center area, and the third, the selvage, on the other side.Each specimen shall be from a different filling than others.3.3 Yarn. Type I warp and filling yarns shall be polyester, bright, multifilament, polyethyleneglycol terephalate. Type II
16、 warp and filling yarns shall be bright, multifilament nylon.3.4 Length and put-up. The cloth shall be in continuous pieces, each not less than 50 yards.Each piece shall be put up on a roll.3.5 Face identification. The face side of the cloth shall be identified by applying a stampingon that side of
17、the cloth with the word “face“ at each end of the piece. Each roll of cloth shallbe labeled or ticketed for fiber content in accordance with the Rules and Regulations of theTextile Fiber Products Identification Act.3.6 Label/tag. Each item shall be individually bar-coded with a paper tag for persona
18、lclothing items. The paper tag shall be standard bleached sulfate having a basis weight of 100pounds. The paper used for the tags shall have a smooth finish to accept thermal transfer anddirect printing. The tags shall have a hole and shall be attached to each item by a fastener,clearly legible and
19、readable by a scanner. The bar coding element shall be a 13 digit nationalstock number (NSN). The bar code type shall be a medium to high code density and shall belocated so that it is completely visible on the item when it is folded and/or packaged asspecified and so that it causes no damage to the

Eachroll in the sample shall be examined on the face side only. All appropriate defects that areclearly noticeable at normal inspec
28、tion (3 feet) shall be scored and assigned demerit points.When total yardage in the roll does not exceed 100 yards, the entire yardage in the roll shallbe examined. When the total yardage in the roll exceeds 100 yards, only 100 yards shall beexamined. The lot shall be unacceptable if the points per
