20、nitions apply. 3.1 flexibility the degree of pliancy exhibited by a fabric (as indicated in the diagram at Figure 1) 4 Health and safety This standard does not necessarily include all health and safety requirements associated with its use. Persons using this standard shall be familiar with normal la
21、boratory/test house practices. It is the responsibility of the user to establish satisfactory health, safety and environment practices and to ensure conformity with any European, National or local laws/regulations. 5 Principle/Technique The test consists in measuring the flexibility of a narrow wove
22、n fabric on a block of wood or similar suitable material. 6 Resources/Facilities 6.1 Apparatus 6.1.1 A block, having a smooth upper horizontal plane face and an inclined plane length joining it at an angle of (138 1) as shown in Figure 1. The width of the block should be wide enough to fully support
23、 the sample under test. NOTE The upper surface should have a minimum length of 200 mm and the inclined plane should have a minimum length of 400 mm. 6.1.2 Two plate glass sheets of dimensions at least twice the maximum bending length specified in the individual textile specification and of suitable
24、width. 6.1.3 Ruler or suitably sized block of wood, the underside of which is sufficiently rough to grip specimen. 1) Published as ASD-STAN Prestandard at the date of publication of this standard BS EN 4504:2013EN 4504:2013 (E) 6 6.2 Materials/Reagents No requirements. 6.3 Qualification of personnel
25、 No specific technical requirements. 7 Test samples/Test pieces 7.1 Cut five specimens each approximately twice the maximum bending length specified in the individual textile specification and of full width from the test sample ensuring cut is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Mark each s
26、ample on its face side. 7.2 The samples are conditioned and tested in a standard atmosphere of (65 2) % r.h. and (20 2) C in accordance with EN 20139 Standard Temperate Atmosphere For Testing. 8 Test procedure 8.1 Conduct the test within the Standard Temperate Atmosphere For Testing (65 2) % r.h. an
27、d (20 2) C. 8.2 Place the specimen between two plate glass sheets for at least 2 hours and then remove. 8.3 Lay the specimen on the horizontal surface terminated at one end by a straight edge so that the length of the specimen is at right angles to, and one end is level with, that edge. Place a rule
28、r or suitable block of wood on top resting against the fabric guide and with its edge level with the edge of the sample, the underside of which is sufficiently rough to grip the specimen. NOTE 1 In order to achieve a better grip on the specimen adhesive, double sided adhesive tape or fine emery pape
29、r may be applied to the rule or block of wood to aid grip on sample. NOTE 2 The 0 mm mark of the ruler should coincide with the edge of the specimen at the change of slope. 8.4 Move the specimen lengthwise over the edge at a uniform rate of approximately 25 mm/5 s until the end of the sample touches
30、 the inclined plane when bending. 8.5 Record the length of fabric protruding beyond the edge as shown in Figure 1. 8.6 Make a similar determination with the other face of the same end of the specimen uppermost. 8.7 Test the other four specimens as described in 8.1 to 8.5. 9 Expression of results 9.1
31、 Calculate the mean of the five results obtained. 9.2 Record the highest and lowest individual result. 10 Measurement uncertainties Not applicable. 11 Designation Not applicable.
