1、Designation: D861 07 (Reapproved 2013)Standard Practice forUse of the Tex System to Designate Linear Density ofFibers, Yarn Intermediates, and Yarns1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D861; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, i

2、n the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 T

3、his practice covers the use of the tex system todesignate the linear density (number, or count) of fibers and ofyarns made from any type of fiber or combination of fibers. Itis also applicable to other textile materials, including yarnintermediates (slivers, rovings, tops, etc.), single or plied yar

4、ns,cords, and threads.NOTE 1The mass per unit length concept of linear density isapplicable to any material which has a high ratio of length to cross section.1.2 Conversion factors for various indirect and direct yarnnumbers to exact tex equivalents can be found in StandardTables D2260.1.3 This stan

It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

8、e and Use4.1 The tex system has been approved for general use by theInternational Organization for Standardization, TechnicalCommittee 38 on Textiles (ISO/TC 38), which has alsorecommended a list of rounded tex numbers for use with fibersand all types of yarns. Conversion tables showing the roundedt

9、ex numbers corresponding to various numbers in differenttraditional systems are given in Tables D2260 and ISO 2947.4.2 The tex system for designation of the linear density offibers and yarns is a direct system based on mass per unitlength, M/L, and employs metric units of length and mass. Thetex uni

10、t, grams per kilometre (1000 m) has been approved byISO/TC 38 for use with all fibers and all types of yarn. Thecommittee has also approved the use of kilotex and decatexnumbers for coarse structures and decitex and millitex numbersfor fibers.4.3 The tex system relates to the property commonly asso-

11、ciated with coarseness, or inverse fineness of a yarn becausethe tex numbers increase with an increase in the size or massper unit length of the yarn. The tex system is intended for useby all branches of the textile industry, in all countries, for yarnsmade from all types of fibers or mixtures of fi

12、bers.5. Recommended Applications5.1 It is recommended that tex units, including their mul-tiples and submultiples, be used to designate the linear densityof all natural and man-made fibers, filaments, yarns, cords,rovings, tops, etc.5.2 It is recommended that linear density be reported tothree signi

13、ficant figures, using either millitex, decitex, or texunits.1This practice is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D13 on Textiles andis the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D13.58 on Yarns and Fibers.Current edition approved July 1, 2013.
