Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 grease wool, nwool taken from the living sheep andwhich has not been commercially scoured.3.1.2 moisture content, nthe amount of moisture in amaterial determined under prescribed conditions and

9、 expressedas a percentage of the mass of the moist material, that is, theoriginal mass comprising the oven-dried substance plus anymoisture present.3.1.2.1 DiscussionThe term “mass” is the correct desig-nation for the property commonly designated as “weight.”A slight amount of residual moisture may

10、not be removed from aspecimen subjected to oven drying because of the relative humidity ofthe ambient air. The amount of moisture retained by a specimen may beestimated from published data.4There may also be a slight additional loss in mass caused by theevaporation of volatile material other than wa

Summary of Test Method4.1 A specimen of wool material is weighed and then driedto constant mass at 105 6 2C in an oven supplied withambient air. The lo

26、ss in mass is considered moisture andreported as either moisture content or moisture regain. Direc-tions are given for the adjustment of the observed results forany change in the moisture content after sampling and beforedrying.5. Significance and Use5.1 Test Method D 2462 for the determination of t

27、he mois-ture in wool by distillation with toluene is the preferred methodfor testing wool for moisture for the acceptance testing ofcommercial shipments. If, however, the purchaser and thesupplier agree, Test Method D 1576 for the determination ofthe moisture in wool by oven drying may be used inste

28、ad.Comparative tests as directed in 5.1.1, may be advisable.5.1.1 In case of a dispute arising from differences inreported test results when using Test Method D 1576 foracceptance testing of commercial shipments, the purchaser andthe supplier should conduct comparative tests to determine ifthere is

29、a statistical bias between their laboratories. Competentstatistical assistance is recommended for the investigation ofbias. As a minimum, the two parties should take a group of testspecimens which are as homogeneous as possible and whichare from a lot of material of the type in question. The testspe

30、cimens should then be randomly assigned in equal numbersto each laboratory for testing. The average results from the twolaboratories should be compared using Students t-test forunpaired data and an acceptable probability level chosen by thetwo parties before testing is begun. If a bias is found, eit

31、her itscause must be found and corrected or the purchaser and thesupplier must agree to interpret future test results in the light ofthe known bias.5.2 This test method is a simple and convenient method forroutine process control, in-plant evaluation, estimation ofmoisture content of a lot of wool,

32、or any other purpose forwhich a high degree of reproducibility is not necessary (seeSection 13).6. Apparatus6.1 Oven, ventilated and thermostatically controlled in thetemperature range of 105 6 2C throughout the enclosure. Theoven may be of either the forced draft or the convection type.6.2 Weighing

33、 Containers, of perforated metal if weighing isto be performed in the drying enclosure; or containers that canbe hermetically sealed (such as glass weighing bottles) if thespecimen is to be cooled in a desiccator before weighing in theambient atmosphere.6.3 Sampling Containers, capable of being seal

34、ed. Masonjars have been found to be satisfactory where the sample sizeis not too great. For larger samples, bags of various plasticmaterials may be suitable if the wall thickness is sufficient toprovide a good moisture vapor barrier (at least 4 mil (approxi-mately 0.1 mm) for polyethylene, for examp

35、le).6.4 Balance, having a capacity adequate for weighing speci-mens and containers, and a sensitivity of 0.005 g.7. Sampling7.1 Lot SampleAs a lot sample for acceptance testing,take at random the number of shipping containers directed inapplicable material specification or other agreement betweenthe

36、 purchaser and the supplier, such as an agreement to useD 1576 90 (2008)2Practice D 2525 for bales of fiber and containers of top orsliver or to use Practice D 2258 for beams or cases of yarn.Consider shipping containers to be the primary sampling unit.NOTE 2An adequate specification or other agreem

37、ent between thepurchaser and supplier requires taking into account the variability betweenshipping containers, between laboratory sampling units within a shippingcontainer, and test specimens within a laboratory sampling unit to producea sample plan with a meaningful producers risk, consumers risk,a

38、cceptable quality level, and limiting quality level.7.2 Use extreme care to prevent gain or loss of moistureduring the sampling operation and the transfer of material tothe sampling container. Weigh each portion of the sample andits container immediately after sampling. Subtract the taremass of the

39、container to obtain the net mass at time ofsampling, M.7.3 Laboratory SampleAs a laboratory sample for ac-ceptance testing, proceed as follows:7.3.1 For wool fiber, take laboratory samples as directed inPractice D 1060 for cored samples or Practice D 3333 for handsamples.7.3.2 For wool sliver or top

40、, from each shipping container inthe lot sample, take one ball of top. From this ball of top, takeapproximately 2 m from the inside and 4 m from the outside ofthe ball.7.3.3 Take laboratory sampling units which weigh a mini-mum of 50 g. Follow the instructions in Practice D 2525 forreduction of the

41、laboratory samples to specimens.NOTE 3Condition the laboratory samples as directed in Section 9before preparing the specimens from them.8. Number of Specimens8.1 Take a number of specimens per laboratory samplingunit that the user can expect at the 95 % probability level thatthe test result for a la

42、boratory sampling unit will be no morethan 0.5 percentage points above or below the true average forthe laboratory sampling unit. Determine the number of speci-mens per laboratory sampling unit as follows:8.1.1 Reliable estimate of swhen there is a reliableestimate of s based upon extensive past rec

43、ords in the userslaboratory as directed in the test method, calculate the requirednumber of specimens per laboratory sampling unit using Eq 1:n 5 ts/E!2 (1)where:n = number of specimens per laboratory sampling unit(rounded upward to a whole number),s = reliable estimate of the standard deviation of

44、indi-vidual observations on similar materials in the userslaboratory under conditions of single operator preci-sion,t = the value of Students t for two-sided limits, a 95 %probability level, and the degrees of freedom associ-ated with the estimate of v, andE = 0.5 percentage points, the allowable va

45、riation.8.1.2 No Reliable Estimate of sWhen there is no reliableestimate of s for the users laboratory, do not use Eq 1 directly.Instead, specify the fixed number of six specimens per labora-tory sampling unit. This number of specimens per laboratorysampling unit is calculated using s = 0.60 percent

46、age pointswhich is a somewhat larger value of s than is usually found inpractice. When a reliable estimate of s for the users laboratorybecomes available, Eq 1 will usually require fewer than sixspecimens per laboratory sampling unit.9. Conditioning9.1 Condition the lot sample (or laboratory sample(

47、s) byexposure to moving air in the laboratory atmosphere in whichthe testing is to be done, until equilibrium for testing isachieved.NOTE 4Preconditioning and conditioning as directed in PracticeD 1776 is acceptable but not necessary, since the object of the condition-ing for the purpose of this tes

48、t is merely to stabilize the sample, that is, tobring all parts of the sample to moisture equilibrium with the prevailingatmosphere in order that changes in moisture level will not occur while thespecimens are being prepared and weighed.9.2 Weigh the conditioned sample(s) to the nearest 0.005 gand r

49、ecord the net mass(es), W.NOTE 5The net mass of the conditioned sample, W, and the net massat the time of sampling, M, will be used to convert the observed moisturecontent of the conditioned specimen to the moisture content at time ofsampling.9.3 From the weighed conditioned sample(s), take theappropriate size specimen(s) and weigh to the nearest 0.005 gto obtain the specimen mass B.10. Procedure10.1 Place the specimen(s) in the oven in a suitable con-tainer and dry to constant mass, defined as the absence of anyprogressive decrease in mass
