United States14. Summary of Test Method4.1 Conditioned test spe
16、cimens, laundered or unlaundered, are suspended and subjected to a specified loading. The static loadis applied for a specified time, released, and the cycle repeated two more times. The percent elongation is read directly from thescale on the apparatus.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is
17、 considered satisfactory for acceptance testing of commercial shipments of narrow elastic fabrics becausethe test method is used in the trade for acceptance testing.5.1.1 In case of a dispute arising from differences in reported test results when using this test method for acceptance testing ofcomme
18、rcial shipments, the parties should conduct comparative tests to determine if there is a statistical bias between theirlaboratories. Competent statistical assistance is recommended for the investigation of bias. As a minimum, the two parties shouldtake a group of test specimens that are as homogeneo
19、us as possible and that are from a lot of material of the type in question. Thetest specimens should then be randomly assigned in equal numbers to each laboratory for testing. The average results from the twolaboratories should be compared using students t-test for unpaired data and an acceptable pr
20、obability level chosen by the twoparties before testing is begun. If bias is found, either the cause must be found and corrected or the purchaser and the supplier mustagree to interpret future test results in the light of the known bias.5.2 This test method specifies the use of a static load apparat
21、us. Users of this test method are cautioned that elongation test dataobtained using this test method are not comparable to elongation test data obtained using either constant-rate-of-extension (CRE)or constant-rate-of-loading (CRL) type tensile testing machines.6. Apparatus6.1 Static Load Test Appar

23、rker, for marking 125.0-mm 5.0-in. and 250.0-mm 10-in. distances, with stamp pad.7. Sampling7.1 Lot SampleAs a lot sample for acceptance testing, take at random the number of rolls of fabric as directed in an applicablematerial specification, or other agreement between the purchaser and the supplier
24、. Consider rolls of fabric or boxes of festoonedfabric to be the primary sampling units.7.2 Laboratory SampleAs a laboratory sample for acceptance testing, take a full-width swatch, 2 m 2 yd long, from the endof each packaging unit in the lot sample, after first discarding a minimum of 1 m 1 yd of f
25、abric from the leading end of thepackaging unit.7.3 Test SpecimensTake three test specimens from each swatch in the laboratory sample.8. Test Specimens8.1 Preparation:8.1.1 When samples exceed 75 mm 3 in. use a 75-mm width cut from the center of the piece unless the purchaser and selleragree to a di
26、fferent sample width.8.1.2 Prepare test specimens considered to be high stretch (200 % and above) as follows:8.1.2.1 Cut the test specimens approximately 230 9 in. long with this dimension parallel to the length of the fabric. Unlessthe fabric width exceeds 75 mm 3 in., use the full fabric width as
27、the test specimen width.8.1.2.2 With the bench marker, make two marks on the test specimen that are 125.0 mm 5.0 in. apart, approximately the samedistance from the test specimen ends and perpendicular to the long direction of the test specimen.8.1.3 Prepare test specimens considered to be low stretc
28、h (below 200 %) as follows:8.1.3.1 Cut the test specimens approximately 356 mm 14 in. long with this dimension parallel to the length of the fabric.Unless the fabric width exceeds 75 mm 3 in., use the full fabric width as the test specimen width.8.1.3.2 With the bench marker, make two marks on the t
29、est specimen that are 250 mm 10 in. apart, approximately the samedistance from the test specimen ends and perpendicular to the long direction of the test specimen.9. Conditioning9.1 Condition the laboratory samples as directed in Practice D1776.Allow the samples to relax, free of tension, for a mini
