17、gradually widening ellipse, until it forms another straight linein the opposite direction and traces the same figure again underlight pressure for a specific number of movements. The degreeof fabric pilling or surface appearance change produced by thisaction is evaluated by comparison of the tested

18、specimen withvisual standards that may be actual fabrics, or photographs offabrics, showing a range of pilling resistance. The observedresistance to pilling is reported using an arbitrary rating scale.5. Significance and Use5.1 Acceptance TestingThis method of testing fabricsresistance to pilling is

19、 not recommended for acceptance testing.If it is used for acceptance testing, it should be used withcaution because interlaboratory data are not available. In somecases the purchaser or supplier may have to test a commercialshipment of one or more specific materials by the best availablemethod even

20、though the method has not been recommended foracceptance testing. Although this test method is not recom-mended for acceptance testing, it is useful because it is usedwidely outside the United States.5.2 If there is a disagreement arising from differences invalues reported by the purchaser and the s

21、upplier when usingthis test method, the statistical bias, if any, between thelaboratory of the purchaser and the laboratory of the suppliershould be determined with comparison being based on testingspecimens randomly drawn from one sample of material of thetype being evaluated. Competent statistical

22、 assistance is rec-ommended for the investigation of bias. A minimum of twoparties should take a group of test specimens, which are ashomogeneous as possible and which are from a lot of materialof the type in question. The test specimens then should beassigned randomly in equal numbers to each labor

23、atory fortesting. The average test results from the two laboratoriesshould be compared using an acceptable statistical protocol andprobability level chosen by the two parties before the testing isstarted. Appropriate statistical disciplines for comparing datamust be used when the purchaser and suppl

24、ier cannot agree. Ifa bias is found, either its cause must be found and corrected, orthe purchaser and the supplier must agree to interpret futureresults with consideration for the known bias.5.3 The pilling of textile fabrics is a very complex propertybecause it is affected by many factors that inc

25、lude type of fiberor blends, fiber dimensions, yarn and fabric construction, andfabric finishing treatments. The pilling resistance of a specificfabric in actual wear varies more with general conditions of useand individual wearers than in replicate fabric specimenssubjected to controlled laboratory

26、 tests. This experience shouldbe borne in mind when adopting levels of acceptability for aseries of standards.5.4 Finishes and fabric surface changes may exert a largeeffect on pilling. It is recommended that fabrics be tested afterlaundering or drycleaning, or both. Testing before refurbishingalso

27、may be advisable. Prior agreement between interestedparties should determine the state of the test.5.5 Pills vary appreciably in size and appearance anddepend on the presence of lint and degree of color contrast.These factors are not evaluated when pilling is rated solely onthe number of pills. The

28、development of pills may be accom-panied by other surface phenomena, such as loss of cover,color change, or the development of fuzz. Since the overallacceptability of a specific fabric is dependent on both thecharacteristics of the pills and the other factors affecting thesurface appearance, it is s

29、uggested that fabrics tested in thelaboratory be evaluated subjectively with regard to theiracceptability and not rated solely on the number of pillsdeveloped.Aseries of standards, based on graduated degrees ofsurface change of the fabric type being tested, may be set up toprovide a basis for subjec

30、tive ratings. The visual standards aremost advantageous when the laboratory test specimens corre-late closely in appearance with worn fabrics and show a similarratio of pills to fuzz. Counting the pills and weighing theirnumber with respect to their size and contrast, as a combinedFIG. 1 Martindale

32、hich may beactual fabrics or photographs of fabrics, showing a range ofpilling resistance. The observed resistance to pilling is reportedon an arbitrary scale ranging from 5 to 1 (no pilling to verysevere pilling).5.7 This test method is applicable to a wide variety ofwoven and knitted fabrics that

33、vary in pilling propensity as aresult of variations in fiber, yarn and fabric structure, andfinish. The applicability of this test method to nonwovenfabrics has not been determined.6.
