A fibre is cycled
24、 between the gauge length and a specified elongation at a constant rate for an agreed number of cycles. The fibre can be maintained at the specified elongation or at the gauge length for a specific period of time. Its elasticity is determined by measuring certain physical characteristics. 5 Apparatu

Under conditions of use, the accura

The jaws shall be capable of holding the test specimen without allowing it to slip and designed so that t
30、hey do not cut or otherwise weaken the test specimen. 6 Atmosphere of conditioning and testing Samples shall be conditioned in a tension free state for at least 16 h in the standard atmosphere according to EN ISO 139. Testing shall be performed in this standard atmosphere. 7 Sampling The sampling of
31、 the fibres to be tested from staple fibres, from yarns or from fabrics shall be according to EN 12751. 8 Preparation of the test specimens 8.1 Preparation from staples In order to isolate one fibre first open very carefully the sample in a direction perpendicular to the local fibre orientation, tak
32、ing care to apply the force at two points sufficiently distant to allow free fibre movements necessary to disentangle the fibre mass. In the middle of the small web thus created extract one fibre by using tweezers. There shall be no resistance. If there is any entanglement, first open this entanglem
33、ent by pulling the fibres sideways before extracting. Avoid stretching a fibre, even lightly, by drawing it by one of its ends. Once separated, the fibre can be pinched at one of its ends for handling. 8.2 Preparation from yarns For all types of yarns (e.g. monofilament or fused multifilament alone,
34、 fused multifilament in core spun e.g. elastane -, multifilament, etc.), take randomly at least five lengths (approx. 20 cm) from the yarn package. BS EN 15930:2010EN 15930:2010 (E) 7 8.3 Preparation from fabrics For all types of fabric, remove at least five threads (approx. 20 cm) in the production
35、 direction (i.e. warp direction for woven fabric, wales direction for knitted fabric) and/or in the perpendicular production direction (i.e. weft direction for woven fabric and courses direction for knitted fabric). 9 Procedure 9.1 Determination of the linear density Determine the linear density tes
36、ting according to EN ISO 1973 using only the gravimetric method. NOTE In the case of crimped fibres, the crimp should be removed in order to determine the length. 9.2 Number of results for determination of the elasticity properties Determine at least five results. 9.3 Determination of the pretension
37、 Based on the determination of the linear density, calculate the pretension force to be applied using a pretension of 0,01 cN/tex. When applicable (in the case of the use of discontinuous values of pretension masses), choose the nearest pretension mass to fix onto the fibre in vertical position. 9.4
38、 Determination of the elasticity 9.4.1 General Set the gauge length to 50 mm. If it cannot be achieved, then set to 20 mm. Set the testing speed at 100 % of the gauge length/minute (i.e. 50 mm/min for gauge length 50 mm). Zero the load cell with the grips in position and the jaw faces closed, prior
39、to testing. NOTE See Figure 1 for illustration of the elongation-force curve and the position of the pretension point.

This cycle is applied again 2 times (Figure 2
41、illustrates the cycles by the curve extension in function of time). A 4thload cycle is applied past the specified pretension in order to determine the recovery extension Erec(Figure 3 illustrates this point). If the force decay is required, the 3rdcycle is taken into account for the calculation (Fig
42、ure 4 illustrates this determination).
