Summary of Test Method4.1 Fabric GrowthBench marks of a known distance aremade on a fabric specimen. A specified tension is applied to afabric specimen by a p

11、rescribed cycling technique. The tensionis removed and after several specific recovery times under zerotension, the distance between the bench marks is remeasuredafter each time interval. The fabric growth is calculated fromthe length difference between the bench marks prior to appli-cation of the t

12、ension and after each respective recovery timeinterval.4.2 Fabric StretchBench marks of a known distance aremade on a fabric specimen. A specified tension is applied to afabric specimen by a prescribed cycling technique and theresulting distance between the bench marks measured. Thefabric stretch is

Significance and Use5.1 This test method specifies test conditions for measuringthe fabric growth and fabric stretch of knitted fabrics intendedfor use in swimwear, anchored slacks, and other form-fittingapparel (also commonly kno

17、wn as semi-support apparel)applications, as well as test conditions for measuring the fabricgrowth of knitted fabrics intended for use in sportswear andother loose-fitting apparel (also commonly known as comfortstretch apparel) applications. The applicability of this testmethod to the measurement of

18、 fabric growth and fabric stretchof knitted fabrics intended for use in slacks, sport coats, andsuits has not been determined.5.2 This test method is not recommended for acceptancetesting of commercial shipment because the between-laboratory precision is known to be poor.5.2.1 If there are differenc

19、es of practical significance be-tween reported test results for two laboratories (or more),comparative tests should be performed to determine if their isa statistical bias between them, using competent statisticalassistance. As a minimum, ensure the test samples to be usedare as homogeneous as possi

20、ble, are drawn from the materialfrom which the disparate test results are obtained, and areassigned randomly in equal numbers to each laboratory fortesting. The test results from the two laboratories should becompared using a statistical test for unpaired data, at aprobability level chosen prior to

21、the testing series. If a bias isfound, either its cause must be found and corrected, or futuretest results for that material must be adjusted in considerationof the known bias.6.

Sampling and Test Specs7.1 Primary Sampling UnitConsider rolls of fabric orfabric components of fabricated systems to be the primarysampling unit, as applicable.7.2 Laboratory Sampling UnitAs a laboratory samplingunit take from rolls

25、 at least one full-width piece of fabric thatis2m(2yd)inlength along the selvage (machine direction),after removing a first 1 mm (1 yd) length. For fabric compo-nents of fabricated systems use the entire system.7.3 Test SpecimensFrom each laboratory sampling unit,cut 5 wale-wise (lengthwise) and 5 c

26、ourse-wise (widthwise)test specimens 125 6 3mm(56 0.1 in.) by 398 6 10 mm(15.5 6 0.3 in.). Cut the long dimension of the wale-wisespecimens parallel to the wale direction and the course-wisespecimens parallel to the course direction. Take specimensrepresenting a broad distribution from different pos

Label tomaintain specimen identity.7.3.1 For fabric widths 125 mm (5 in.) or more, take nospecimen closer than 25 mm (1 in.) from the edges of thelaboratory sampling unit.7.3.2 For

28、 fabric widths less than 125 mm (5 in.), use theentire width of the laboratory sampling unit for specimens.4For additional information on obtaining apparatus, equipment, or supplies thatmay be suitable for use in this standard, please visit the ASTM ManufacturersEquipment Directory at www.astm.org.F

Avoid getting oil, water, grease, etc., on the speci-mens when handling.7.3.4 If the fabric has a pattern, ensure that the specimensare a representative sampling of the pattern.7.3.5 After cutting, f

30、old each specimen in half lengthwiseforming a loop and sew the edges opposite the fold together 6to 13 mm (0.25 to 0.50 in.) from the cut edges and parallel tothe short direction of the specimen.7.3.6 Lay the specimen on a flat surface and place benchmarks 125 6 3mm(56 0.01 in.) apart on the central

31、 sectionof one face of the looped specimen establishing a gage lengthalong the length of the specimen. Record as measurement (A).8. Conditioning8.1 Bring the test specimens to moisture equilibrium fortesting in the standard atmosphere for testing textiles asdirected in Practice D1776, or if applicab

32、le, in the specifiedatmosphere in which the testing is to be performed.9. Preparation of Test Apparatus and Calibration9.1 Verify measuring scales and tension weights are withincalibration.10. Procedure10.1 Test the test specimens in the standard atmosphere fortesting textiles, as described in Pract

33、ice D1776.10.2 Handle the test specimens carefully to avoid alteringthe natural state of the material.10.3 Fabric Growth:10.3.1 Slide the specimen loop over the upper hanger rodand secure the rod in the hanger such that the seam of the looplies along the rod.10.3.2 Slide the folded end of the loop o

34、ver the lowerhanger rod and secure the rod to the hanger.10.3.3 Place the upper hanger in the slot in the top bar of thesupporting frame.10.3.4 Attach the rule to the specimen loop by inserting therule pin hook through the face of the fabric in the center of theupper bench mark.10.3.5 Attach the cha

35、in by means of the turnbuckle to thelower hanger and extend the specimen loop to the amountspecified in Table 1, that is, such that the lower bench markslines up with the specified percentage stretch point on the scale.NOTE 2If the scale is in units of measurement, it is helpful tocalculate the corr

36、esponding percentage.10.3.6 Lock the chain in the corresponding notch in thelower crossmember of the frame. Adjust the turnbuckle tomake minor adjustments of the position of the lower benchmark.10.3.7 Allow the loop to remain in the extended position for2h6 5 min.10.3.8 After 2 h 6 5 min, unlock and

37、 release the chain andremove the lower hanger from the specimen loop.10.3.9 Measure the position of the lower bench markrelative to the scale on the rule to the nearest 1 % of originalgage length or 1 mm (116 in.) after recovery under no tensionas follows:10.3.9.1 After 60 6 5 s and record as measur

39、men in the stretch testing equip-ment as directed in 10.3.1-10.3.4.10.4.2 Attach the tensiometer to the lower hanger, grasp andmanually exercise the specimen loop by cycling four timesbetween 0 to 2.27 kgf (0 to 5 lbf) for loose-fitting (comfortstretch) apparel fabrics, or between 0 and 4.54 kgf (0

40、and 10lbf) for form-fitting (semi-support) apparel fabrics allowing 4to6stocomplete each cycle.10.4.2.1 Weights that provide the same tension can be usedin place of the tensiometer.NOTE 3The choice of the cycling force should be based on theintended end use of the fabric being tested. If the intende

41、d end use is notknown, the fabric growth and fabric stretch may be determined using boththe loose-fitting and the form-fitting apparel test conditions.10.4.3 Continue and begin a fifth cycle holding the tensi-ometer at the specified tension force for 5 to 10 s, then measurethe position of the lower
