The work of prep
18、aring International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
19、liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC
20、Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).Attention is drawn to the possibility tha

25、of fibre diameter Projection microscope method1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies the procedure and the measurement conditions for the determination of the wool fibre diameter using a projection microscope.The method is suitable for wool fibres in any form and also for other fibres of reaso
26、nably circular cross-section. (In the case of dyed, bleached or finished fibres, the diameter might be different from that of fibres not subjected to such treatments. The estimates of fibre diameter obtained at the various stages of processing one lot of wool will not necessarily be the same.)2 Norm

32、 stage which supports the slide carrying the fibres, an objective, an ocular and a circular screen.5.1.1 Stage, movable in two directions at right angles by means of a sliding mechanism capable of successive displacements in 1,0 mm steps.5.1.2 Objective and ocular, capable of providing 500X magnific
33、ation.5.1.3 Circular screen, equipped with a graduated scale capable of measuring the projected image of the fibre snippet on the screen in any orientation and position within the measuring area.It is acceptable to mark a central circle having a diameter equal to one-quarter of the optical distance
34、between the ocular and the centre of the screen. To ensure that any lens aberrations at the objective perimeter are avoided, all measurements must be made within this circle. However, some modern instruments contain much improved optics which ensure uniformity of magnification over the whole of the
35、projected image. In the case of these instruments, no marked circle is needed and measurements can be made over the whole image area. In all cases where there is no marked circle on the screen, to ensure the integrity of the instruments optics, the magnification should be checked over the whole proj
36、ected image by using a certified graduated scale as described in 5.2.NOTE A movable graduated scale made from transparent material and graduated on its underside in millimetres, as shown in Figure 1, is suitable.Figure 1 Centre transparent graduated scale which slides between guides5.2 Micrometer gr
37、aduated scale.The projection microscope shall be calibrated periodically by means of a micrometer graduated scale (certified accurate), divided in hundredths of a millimetre and placed on the stage. One division of the micrometer (i.e. 0,01 mm), projected on the screen, shall cover exactly 5 mm of t
38、he graduated scale. The magnification is then equal to 500X.5.3 Snippet cutters, suitable for cutting the fibres to a predetermined maximum length, capable of fulfilling the requirements of 6.3 regarding the cutting of the fibre pieces. The following apparatus (5.3.1) has been found suitable.5.3.1 F
39、ibre holder and pusher. These are shown in Figures 2 and 3. The holder is a short piece of smooth steel (G) about 3 mm thick with a 1,5 mm slot into which slides the tongue of part H. The tongue of part H is fixed by a screw and may thus be adjusted to project different distances into the slot of G.
40、 The pusher consists of a steel stem with a short stop plate near its end; the stem has the same width as the slot, namely 1,5 mm. The stem of the pusher extends 0,8 mm beyond the stop plate.2 ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 137:2015ISO 137:2015(E)Dimensions in millimetresKeyA steel plateB slo

43、bsorption;d) no effect on the diameter of the fibre.Cedar wood oil and liquid paraffin are examples of suitable media. Anhydrous glycerine is not suitable.5.5 Glass microscope slides, approximately 75 mm 40 mm.5.6 Cover glasses. Square or rectangular cover glass No. 1 (i.e. 0,13 mm to 0,17 mm thick)

45、f the total sample into roughly 40 zones and take a handful of fibres from each zone. Divide each handful into two (taking care to avoid breaking the fibres) and reject one-half, choosing the half to be rejected at random. If the fibres are parallel, make the division into two longitudinally, i.e. i
46、n a direction which avoids selection of fibres by their ends. Divide the retained half into two and again reject half at random. Continue in this way until 50 g of fibre remains.6.1.2 Submit the reduced sample to a washing treatment consisting of two extractions in petroleum ether. Dry the sample an
47、d condition it in the standard atmosphere for conditioning given in ISO 139.6.2 Slivers, rovings and yarns6.2.1 From the total sample, which shall be as representative as possible of the bulk, take a sufficient quantity of material to fill the slot of the microtome to a sufficient depth. Long fibres
48、 are generally thick fibres, and consequently any manipulation resulting in selection of long fibres will lead to a greater diameter than mean diameter.6.2.2 Condition the test specimen thus obtained in the standard atmosphere for conditioning given in ISO 139.6.3 Cutting of snippets6.3.1 Using a fi
49、bre holder and pusherWith the fibres in the slot G (as specified in 5.3), insert the part H so that the tongue compresses the fibres firmly in the slot. To ensure satisfactory retention of the fibres, the length of the tongue should be suitably adjusted, then locked by means of the screw.Then, using a sharp razor blade or scalpel, cut off the projecting tuft of fibres flush on both sides of the holder.Insert the 0,8 mm pusher in the slot and slide it backwards and forwards so as to cause a fringe of fibres to project from the opposi
