Significance and Use4.1 Option A for bundle weighing of Test Method D1577 isused in th

19、e trade for acceptance testing of commercial ship-ments. Option B for single-fiber weighing and Option C for thevibroscope may be used for acceptance testing (see Section37); however, caution is advised when using Option B orOption C because between-laboratory precision information isincomplete. Com

20、parative tests as directed in 4.1.1 may beadvisable.4.1.1 In case of dispute arising from differences in reportedtest results when using Test Method D1577 for acceptancetesting of commercial shipments, the purchaser and the sup-plier should conduct comparative tests to determine if there isa statist

21、ical bias between their laboratories. Competent statis-tical assistance is recommended for the investigation of bias.As a minimum, the two parties should take a group of samplesthat are as homogeneous as possible and that are from a lot ofmaterial of the type in question. These samples should then b

22、erandomly assigned in equal numbers to each laboratory fortesting. The average results from the two laboratories should becompared using the appropriate statistical analysis and aprobability level chosen by the two parties before testing isbegun. If a bias is found, either the cause must be found an

23、dcorrected or the purchaser and the supplier must agree tointerpret future test results for that material with considerationto the known bias.4.2 Option A for bundle weighing is generally considered tobe the referee procedure for acceptance testing.4.3 OptionAis not recommended for measurement of li

24、neardensity of blends of production fibers having different nominallinear densities.4.4 The accuracy of the linear density values obtained byOptions A and B is dependent upon the accuracy with whichthe fibers can be cut and weighed.NOTE 2On short staple fiber, an accuracy in cutting of 1.0 % isdiffi

25、cult to obtain. This problem is further complicated if crimp is presentin the fibers.4.4.1 The accuracy of weighing can be controlled by thenumber of fibers composing the bundle. However, with shortfiber of low linear density the number of fibers to be countedbecomes prohibitive unless the bundle ma

26、ss is kept low.4.5 Options A and B are fundamental procedures which areused to standardize the vibroscope equipment used in OptionsC1 and C2.4.6 Test Method Options B and C are most useful for themeasurement of linear density of single fibers when furthertests upon the same test specimen are require

These options offer advantages inaccuracy and ease of operations over calculation from specificgravity and microscopically measured cross-sectional area.4.7 Additional information specific to

29、D2258/D2258M, as applicable.Consider shipping containers to be the primary sampling units.NOTE 3An adequate specification or other agreement between thepurchaser or supplier requires taking into account the variability betweenshipping units, between packages, ends or other laboratory sampling unitwi

Summary of Test Method8.1 Average linear density, in tex or denier units, of singlefibers in a bundle is calculated from mass and length measure-ments on the bundle and the number of single fibers in thebundle.9. Apparatus9.1 Balance, having a ca

37、pacity of 15 mg and sensitivity ofat least 0.005 mg.9.2 Metal Template, Die, or Mechanical Cutting Device,having a precision of 61 % and designed to permit cuttingfibers of a specified length while under tension sufficient toremove crimp.9.2.1 For fibers less than 50 mm in length, a template or die2

38、5 mm in width for measurements in tex units (22.5 mm inwidth for measurements in denier units) has been foundsatisfactory.9.2.2 For fibers more than 50 mm in length, a mechanicalcutting device, for example, a cutting board having two clampsat a greater distance apart than the selected length and hav

Tem-plates or dies of the type described in 9.2.1 can be made withappropriate widths for use on longer fibers.9.3 We

Verification of Equipment Parameters10.1 Determine that the length defined by the templates orthe cutting edges of dies and mechanical cutting devices iscorrect within 1 % by accurate measurement of these deviceswith a cathetometer.10.2 Determine that the ba

42、lance and pretension weights arecorrect within 60.5 % by comparison with standard weights.11. Test Specimens11.1 From each laboratory sampling unit in a container, takefive specimens at random. If the standard deviation determinedfor the container from which the laboratory sampling unitswere taken i

43、s more than a value agreed upon between thepurchaser and supplier, continue testing in groups of fivespecimens from the same laboratory sampling units in thecontainer until the standard deviation for all specimens testedfor the container is not more than the agreed-to value or stopwith a specified n

44、umber testing by agreement.11.2 Select tufts or bundles of fibers containing a sufficientnumber of fibers to weigh between 0.5 and 7.5 mg when cut tothe specified length. If fibers from yarns are to be tested,carefully remove twist before taking specimens.NOTE 4A tuft of fibers less than 50 mm in le

45、ngth and below 1 tex (9denier) in nominal linear density will contain 500 to 1000 fibers. Thenumber of longer or coarser fibers required in a tuft will be proportionatelyfewer.12. Preparation of Specimens12.1 If linear density of finish-free fiber is requested,remove the finish after cutting the spe

46、cimen and beforeweighing. Refer to Test Method D1907/D1907M, Test MethodD2257, or the Non-fibrous Material Section of Test MethodsD629 for procedures on the removal of finish.NOTE 5Hot-water or hot solvent may cause considerable shrinkageand consequent changes in linear density, and should not be us

47、ed.12.2 The specimens chosen from staple fiber may requirecombing to align the fibers and remove short ends. Becausefibers are easily stretched, combing must be done with extracare. Comb the specimen as follows:12.2.1 Grip the specimen at one end in suitable clamp ortweezers. Ease the specimen onto

48、the stationary coarse combneedles 3 to 5 mm on the clamp side of the center of the tuft.Draw the specimen gently toward the center.12.2.2 Lift the specimen off the comb. Replace the speci-men on the needles 3 to 5 mm closer to the clamp than the lastposition. Draw the specimen gently to the center a

49、s before.12.2.3 Continue to comb the specimen as directed in 12.2.2until the clamp is reached and all unclamped fibers are drawnto the center.12.2.4 Reverse the specimen. Clamp it in the combedsegment approximately 3 to 5 mm from the uncombedsegment, near the center. Comb the other end of the specimen,progressing from tip to center in 3 to 5 mm increments. Discardthe combings.12.3 Arrange fibers from filament yarn or tows in parallelalignment.13.
