31、For definitions of other textile terms used in this testmethod, refer to Terminology D123.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method can also be used to measure seamslippage by subtracting the elongation of the fabric from that ofthe fabric with a seam in it.4.2 The applied force is longitudinal

32、and perpendicular tothe seam.4.2.1 A force is applied until seam failure occurs.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method can also be used to determine either thesewn seam strength of textiles or the efficiency of a seamassembly with any given fabric. Additionally, the seamstrengths of different f

33、abrics can be compared directly by usingone of the standard seam assemblies specified in Table 1.Because current information about laboratory precision isincomplete, comparative tests may be advisable.5.1.1 In case of dispute arising from differences in reportedtest results when using this test meth

34、od for acceptance testingof commercial shipments, the purchaser and the suppliershould perform comparative tests to determine if there is astatistical bias between their laboratories. Competent statisticalassistance is recommended for the investigation of bias. As aminimum, the two parties should ta

35、ke a group of test speci-mens from the same lot of fabric to be evaluated, which utilizea like seam assembly (or standard seam assembly). The testspecimens should then be randomly assigned in equal numbersto each laboratory for testing. If a bias is found, either its causemust be determined and corr

36、ected, or the purchaser andsupplier must agree to interpret future test results in light of theknown bias.5.2 This test method determines the seam efficiency of aspecified seam assembly with each fabric. Because seamefficiency varies with each fabric, one of the standard seamassemblies, as noted in

37、Table 1, should be used when compar-ing the seam strength of different fabrics. Table 1 lists thedefault seam assembly specifications to be used for fabricsmade with fine, medium and heavy count yarns. If a determi-nation cannot be made as to which seam is the best suited fora particular fabric, all

38、 should be evaluated.5.3 Seams prepared for this test method should be made bycompetent factory sewing operators familiar with the potentialfor damage to the integrity of the sewn seam when stitching isimproperly done. (See Note 2.)NOTE 3If competent factory sewing operators are not accessible, alab

39、oratory technician familiar with the potential for damage of animproperly sewn seam may prepare the seamed test specimens. It isimperative for purchaser/supplier to understand the impact an improperlysewn seam will have on test results.5.4 This test method is applicable whenever a determinationof ef

40、fective sewn seam strength, that is, the optimum seaminteraction, is required. The breaking force of the seam andfabric will permit determination of seam efficiency. This testmethod can aid in determining optimum seam interaction forany given fabric by comparing the properties of the fabric withand

41、without seams.5.5 Seam engineering techniques for specific fabric typescan also be determined by utilizing this test method.5.6 This test method can be used to determine when thesewn seam is affected by seam slippage. While the ultimateconsequence of this phenomenon is rupture, seam slippagegreater

42、than either the values stated in customer specifications,or as agreed upon by purchaser/supplier may severely reducethe integrity such that the product cannot be used for itsintended purpose. (An example of a commonly used seamslippage value is 6 6 1 mm 0.25 6 0.04 in.).6. Apparatus6.1 Tensile Testi

When a

44、 CRE type of machine is notused, a constant-rate-of traverse (CRT) type of machine. (SeeNote 4.)NOTE 4In cases of dispute a constant-rate-of-extension (CRE) typemachine should be used to referee testing. Because of the biases betweentest results for these types of tensile testing machine, report the
