Summary of Test Method4.1 The weight (mass) of fibers, in definite lengthincrements, is determined for each specimen or group ofspecimens forming one

8、 sample. From the data obtained, theweight-biased average fiber length and the weight-biaseddistribution is calculated. A cumulative weight average lengthfrequency curve may be plotted.5. Significance and Use5.1 Knowledge of the average fiber length and the distribu-tion of fibers is of primary impo

Competentstatistical assistance is recommended for the investigation ofbias. As a minimum, the two p

The test specimensshould then be assigned in equal numbers to each laboratoryfor testing. The average results from the two laboratoriesshould be compared using Stud

If a bias is found either its cause mustbe found and corrected or the purchaser and supplier mustagree to interpret future test results in the light of the knownbias.1This test method i

21、9 04 (2013)26. Apparatus6.1 Comb Sorter, which can be used to separate long fibersinto 0.50-in. (12.7-mm) groups and the shorter fibers into0.25-in. (6.4-mm) groups.3The essential parts are shown inFig. 1. The bar or comb intervals are set at 0.5 in. (12.7 mm)and 0.25 in. (6.4 mm).NOTE 3Essentially,

22、 the same facilities can be secured with two Baeror two Zweigle sorters, or two Shirley units.6.1.1 Faller Bars, free of broken, missing, crooked, dull, orcorroded pins (2, Fig. 1).6.1.2 Clamp, with jaws that meet straight and flush, andimpart uniform pressure when closed (5, Fig. 1).6.1.3 Depressor

23、, at least as long as the sorter (6, Fig. 1).6.2 Balance, with a sensitivity of 0.1 mg.6.3 Cardboard Cylinder, approximately 3 in. (75 mm) indiameter, 8 in. (200 mm) in length, and having a18-in. (3-mm)wall thickness.7. Sampling7.1 Lot SampleAs a lot sample for acceptance testing, takefour lot sampl

24、ing units (bales or cartons) for each 20 000 lb(9000 kg) or fraction thereof.7.2 Laboratory SampleAs a laboratory sample for accep-tance testing, draw one section of sliver from the balled top, atleast 1 yd (1 m) in length from each lot sample unit. Materialshould be taken from the outside of the ba

25、lled top. Wind thesamples by hand onto cardboard cylinders under a tension ofapproximately 4.9 N and with a twist of approximately fiveturns per metre. These conditions can be produced conve-niently as follows: Clamp a 0.45-kg mass onto one end of thesliver while holding the other end of the sliver

26、in one hand,insert five turns of twist. Wind the sliver onto the cardboardcylinder while maintaining the tension and twist.7.3 SpecimenUse each laboratory sample unit (a sectionof sliver from each lot sample unit) as a separate specimen fora complete test or combine the four laboratory sample units

27、toform a single specimen, if appropriate.8. Conditioning8.1 Bring the laboratory sample, still on the cardboardcylinders, from the prevailing atmosphere to moisture equilib-rium in the standard atmosphere for testing textiles.8.2 Determine that moisture equilibrium for testing has beenreached as dir

28、ected in Practice D1776.9. Procedure9.1 Test the conditioned specimens in the standard atmo-sphere for testing textiles.9.2 Place the sorter so that the tops of the faller bars arelevel with the operators hand and forearm when bent at theelbow in a horizontal position. Face the stapling apparatus (1

29、,Fig. 1) with side comb (3, Fig. 1) extended and locked at theright side of the sorter as viewed by the operator. Lift andsecure the faller bars (2, Fig. 1) in a horizontal position.9.3 Immediately prior to performing the test, take one sliverfrom the cardboard cylinder. Holding the sliver under lig

30、httension place it on the pins on the right-hand side in such a waythat approximately 6 in. (150 mm) of sliver extends in front ofthe first faller bar and press down with the depressor (6, Fig. 1).The specimen should be confined to a width of not more than112 in. (38 mm).9.4 Using the hands, take an

31、d discard small amounts offibers not to exceed12-in. (12.7-mm) increments from theoverhanging end of the sliver until not more than 114 in. (30mm) extends forward of the front faller bar.9.5 By means of the drawing clamp (5, Fig. 1) pull off theprojecting fibers until the over-hanging portion of the

32、 sliver issquared and has an edge approximately34 in. (20 mm) forwardof the front faller bar. Discard the fibers removed.9.6 By means of the drawing clamp, grip the fibers acrossthe full width of the sliver to a depth not to exceed116 in. (1.6mm) from the ends of the fibers (Note 4). Pull the fibers

33、straight out slowly and pass them twice gently through thesmall combing bar. Discard all fibers removed by the smallcombing bar (Note 5).NOTE 4The depth of the clamp on the sliver and the length of thefibers affect the weight of the wool per draw. The weight per draw with thebite not in excess of116

34、 in. (1.6 mm) should be approximately 25 to 30 mgon an average fine wool top and somewhat higher on coarser wool top.NOTE 5The fibers are passed through the small combing bar toremove loose, broken, short or entangled fibers that are not grasped by theclamp. This action also helps to maintain the pa

35、rallel alignment of thefibers.9.7 Place the fibers held in the clamp on the left bank of pinsin the following manner: Starting at the back, pull the tuft offibers forward, across the top of the needles. Depress the fiberslightly with the hand to the needle points as the fibers held bythe clamp are d

36、rawn forward, the intent being to straighten butnot stretch the fibers.9.8 Release the fibers when the nose of the clamp is exactlyin line with the needle points of the front faller bar. Thelocation at which the fibers are released is important. If therelease point is not correct, carefully remove a

37、nd discard theincorrect fiber group and make a replacement draw of fibers.9.9 Press the released fibers down slowly between the pinswith the depressor held level.9.10 By means of the drawing clamp, repeatedly removeand discard the projecting fibers from the overhanging sliverspecimen until the edge

38、is again even.9.11 Repeat the procedure in 9.5-9.10 until a bundle offibers that will weigh from 500 to 1000 mg has been accumu-lated. In order to accumulate the required weight (mass), it maybe necessary to reposition the specimen, repeating the stepsoutlined in 9.3 and 9.4 (Note 6). As draws are p

39、laced onto theleft bank of combs, spread the fibers over a width of approxi-mately 2 in. (50 mm).NOTE 6A single test may be made from one to four sliver specimensof a single sample by taking an equal number of draws from each of the3Apparatus meeting these requirements furnished by Alfred Suter Co.,

41、st is a light fuzz infront of the front row of pins.Aheavy fuzz, or no fuzz, indicates improperlay-up, in which case discard the specimen and start a fresh lay-up. Anormal fringe should not exceed116 in. (1.6 mm).9.13 Remove and discard the remaining sliver from the rightbank of the sorter.9.14 Plac

42、e the removable retaining bars in position with theneedles downward into the fiber bundle and turn the apparatus180. Drop the comb bars one at a time until the longest fibersprotrude. Discard obviously loose fibers.9.15 Determine the distance from the front bar to the last barthat has been dropped.

43、Record this distance as the longestclass-interval, which serves as a guide for establishing theclass-intervals for the calculation of the test. All class-intervalsare12 in. (12.7 mm).9.16 Using the drawing clamp, 5, remove in successivedraws the fibers projecting from the next bar. Avoid disturbingt

44、he remaining fibers. Do not exert pressure on the next bar withthe clamp. Accumulate all the fibers in the class-interval on aplush board in parallel array. Roll the fibers together and forma loop for weighing.9.17 Lower the next front bar and repeat 9.16 until all thefibers have been removed in eac

45、h class-interval. When draw-ings are made at the final14-in. (6.4-mm) increments, pool thefibers from each pair into one class-interval.9.18 Weigh the fibers in each class-interval to the nearest0.1 mg and record the weights on a data sheet (see Table 1).9.19 If a composite test is not made, repeat

46、the aboveprocedure with the other three specimens to secure individualresults.10.
