This method determines the relationship between the length and mass of the yarn being tested, using SI Units. The SI derived unit is the tex, which is defined as the mass in grams per kilometre. Multiples or submultiples of...

This method determines the breaking strength by the grab method. It is not generally recommended for testing knitted fabrics and may have to be modified for woven fabrics containing high-stretch yarns. The procedures is...

This method determines the breaking strength of fabrics by the ravelled strip method. It is intended primarily for testing high-strength materials that are difficult to grip in the clamps of the testing machine and that...

This method determines the breaking strength of single strands of yarns, including monofilaments, single yarns, plied or folded yarns, cabled yarns, cords, threads and twines. It is designed primarily for testing yarn in...

This method determines the breaking strength of skeins of yarn. The method is primarily for quality control and acceptance testing of spun yarns. A skein provides a large enough specimen to average out some of the variation...

This method determines the breaking strength of nonwoven textile fabrics. It is intended primarily for testing materials that are difficult to grip in the clamps of the testing machine and that cannot be tested satisfactorily...

This method is for evaluating the resistance to slippage of weft yarns on warp yarns, or warp yarns on weft yarns, at the seam of a woven fabric. This method is particularly applicable to apparel and furnishing fabrics but is...

This method assesses the resistance of the colour of textiles of all kinds and in all forms, except loose fibre, when exposed to atmospheric oxides of nitrogen as derived from the combustion of gases such as natural gas...

This method determines the ability of a fabric to recover from creasing such as might occur during normal wear. It does not necessarily reflect the resistance of a fabric to wrinkling. Attention is drawn to the fact that for...

This method is intended for use in determining the resistance of textile materials to water vapour diffusion. Three options are available for testing, allowing for the resistance to water vapour diffusion of a textile...

This method determines loss in strength and yellowing of woven or knitted fabrics due to chlorine retained in laundering operations involving the use of chlorine bleach and followed by pressing. It may be used on any fabric...

This method determines the immediate stretch and recovery characteristics of elastic fabrics. Fabrics can be tested in full width or in the form of strips cut from the sample. Characteristics dependent upon time and upon...
