It is assumedthat the same amount of twist has been inserted as was originally present. Twist, as turns per unit length, is calculated as

29、half thenumber of turns registered on the counter divided by the specimen length.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used for acceptance testing in the trade for economic reasons even though it is less accurate than thedirect method, Test Method D1423.5.1.1 If there are differences or pra

30、ctical significance between reported test results for two laboratories (or more), comparativetests should be performed to determine if their is a statistical bias between them, using competent statistical assistance. As aminimum, the test samples should be used that are as homogeneous as possible, t

31、hat are drawn from the material from which thedisparate test results are obtained, and that are assigned randomly in equal numbers to each laboratory for testing. Other materialswith established test values may be used for this purpose. The test results from the two laboratories should be compared u

32、sing astatistical test for unpaired data, at a probability level chosen prior to the testing series. If a bias is found, either its cause must befound and corrected, or future test results must be adjusted in consideration of the known bias.5.2 The “setting” of twist in some fibers causes excessive

33、contraction when the yarn is retwisted in the reverse direction.Therefore, the number of turns required to bring the specimen back to its original length may be less than the number of turnsremoved in untwisting. This effect may be partially offset by the use of higher pretensioning loads; but this

34、increases the dangerof stretching the yarn. Little information is available on the correct tensions to use for yarns made from different fibers or withdifferent amounts of twist.5.3 In addition to being less tedious, this test method requires fewer specimens than the direct-counting method and the r

35、esultsmay be sufficiently accurate for certain purposes. This test method can be useful in those cases where the main objective is tomeasure variations from an average value.Another possible application is where a large amount of twist testing is required on yarnsof similar type and twist. In this c

36、ase preliminary tests comparing this method and the direct method could be used to determinethe correct pretension.5.4 Twist has important effects on the physical properties of yarn. Low-twist yarn is lofty and is usually preferred for knittingbecause of its softness, covering power, and warmth. Inc

37、reasing the amount of twist causes an increase in yarn strength byincreasing fiber cohesion, but as the twist angle increases beyond an optimum point, strength decreases due to a loss in effectivefiber contribution. Maximum yarn strength is obtained by inserting a medium amount of twist to obtain an

38、 optimum balancebetween these two opposing forces. High twist produces yarns of high density (“hard” or “wiry”) and high elongation and mayimprove the abrasion and impact resistance of fabrics.5.5 The optimum twist for either manufacturing efficiency or physical properties usually increases as stapl

39、e length decreases.5.6 The twist in a yarn before it is packaged may be different from that of the yarn after it has been withdrawn from the packagebecause of changes in tension and the effect of the method of withdrawal. Withdraw the yarn from the package in the directionof normal use, either from

40、the side or over-end. If the yarn is withdrawn over-end, a slight increase or decrease in twist will takeplace, depending upon the direction of the twist in the yarn, the direction of winding on the package, and the length of the turn(or wrap) on the package.NOTE 2The difference in twist between unw

41、inding from the side and over-end is 1/pid, where d is the diameter of the package.5 Thus, for a 25-mm(1-in.)1-in. diameter package, the difference would be about 13 tpm or about one third tpi.5.7 When a yarn is taken from a more complex yarn structure or from a fabric, the resultant twist should be

42、 considered onlyan approximation of the original value because of alterations that may have occurred as a result of the effects of unwinding,handling, and mechanical strains met in processing.5 Woods, H.

46、ckaged yarns, take a minimum of five packages for the laboratory sample unless otherwiseagreed upon between purchaser and seller. For yarns from woven or knitted fabrics, the sample must be large enough to furnishspecimens of the length and number specified in 7.3.3.7.3 Selection of Specimens:7.3.1

47、As nearly as possible take an equal number of specimens from each package or unit of the laboratory sample. Take thespecimens from each package in a random manner to minimize the effect of cyclic variations introduced during manufacturingprocesses. When preparing specimens, conditioning them, or ins

48、erting them in the tester, take care to avoid any change in twist.7.3.2 For packaged yarns, remove and discard the first 25 m (25 yd)25 yd of yarn. Using a minimum of tension, takespecimens at random intervals greater than 1 m (1 yd)1 yd along the yarn. Withdraw the yarn from the package in the dire

49、ctionof normal use, either from the side or over-end, if known. If the direction is not known, withdraw the yarn from the side (Note2). When more than five specimens are taken from an individual package, take groups of five or less at intervals of several yards.Do not cut the specimen free from the package or from the yarn to be discarded until after the yarn is secured in the clamps ofthe twist tester. When possible, take the specimen from near the center of the traverse and not at the traverse reversals.7.3.3 For woven fabric, take warp specimens
