23、:1999 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for industrial sewing threads made wholly or partly from synthetic fibres. It specifies requirements for industrial sewing threads based on breaking force in relation to the thread size. For threads which are for use in the garment trade it
24、 also specifies colour fastness and boiling water shrinkage requirements. It deals with industrial sewing threads made from the following substrates and combinations of substrates: a) continuous filament polyester; b) staple fibre polyester; c) air-jet textured polyester (see 3.3); d) false twist te
25、xtured polyester (see 3.4); e) polyester and cotton corespun, continuous filament polyester core, cotton sheath (see3.5); f) polyester and polyester corespun, continuous filament polyester core, staple spun polyester sheath (see 3.5); g) continuous filament polyamide 6.6; h) false twist textured pol

33、 Information Handling ServicesPage 5 EN 12590:1999 3 Terms and definitions For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions apply. 3.1 sewing thread a structure of staple fibre and/or filaments produced by any of a variety of techniques such that the cohesive whole can withstand the mecha
34、nical operation of sewing. NOTE 1 Processes such as spinning, twisting, braiding, plaiting, bonding, false twist or air-jet texturing, etc. (used either individually or in combination) are employed to attain the necessary consolidation of fibres and/or filaments required in a sewing thread. An appro
35、priate finish or lubricant can be added to facilitate sewing. NOTE 2 Different finishes, such as soft and glac corespun, unbonded and bonded continuous filament polyamide, etc., may also be available for specific uses. 3.2 ticket size; ticket number a measure of the linear density of a sewing thread
36、 expressed as the approximate three-ply equivalent of the metric count of the input single yam (see annex A) 3.3 air-jet textured thread thread made fiom consolidation of continuous filament yarns produced by controlled over-feeding in a turbulent air stream 3.4 false twist textured thread thread ma
37、de from continuous filament yarns which have been subjected to a false twist texturing process 3.5 corespun thread thread made from yams produced at the spinning frame by feeding a filament yam through the delivery rollers simultaneously with the spinning of a staple material 3.6 minimum average bre
38、aking force the average value of 10 tests from one individual packagehit 4 Requirements 4.1 Breaking force Threads shall comply with the appropriate requirements of Tables 1 to 15. The tables show the main numbers available to the trade but other numbers may be available for which the breaking force
39、 requirements shall be obtained by interpolation from tex values. 4.2 Colour fastness The colour fastness requirements of general purpose threads for use in the garment trade shall be not lower than those specified in Table 16.
