Summary of Test Method4.1 P

10、illing and other changes in the surface appearance,such as fuzzing, that occur in normal wear are simulated on alaboratory testing machine. Fabrics are mounted on the Mar-tindale Tester, and the face of the test specimen is rubbedagainst the face of the same mounted fabric in the form of ageometric

11、figure, that is, a straight line, which becomes agradually 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 thi

12、saction is evaluated by comparison of the tested 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

Although this test method is not recom-mended for acceptance testing, it is useful because it is usedwidely outsi

17、de the United States.5.2 If there is a disagreement arising from differences invalues reported by the purchaser and the supplier when usingthis test method, the statistical bias, if any, between thelaboratory of the purchaser and the laboratory of the suppliershould be determined with comparison bei

18、ng based on testingspecimens randomly drawn from one sample of material of thetype being evaluated. Competent statistical 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

19、lot of materialof the type in question. The test specimens then should beassigned randomly in equal numbers to each laboratory fortesting. The average test results from the two laboratoriesshould be compared using an acceptable statistical protocol andprobability level chosen by the two parties befo

20、re the testing isstarted. Appropriate statistical disciplines for comparing datamust be used when the purchaser and supplier 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 th

21、e known bias.5.3 The pilling of textile fabrics is a very complex propertybecause it is affected by many factors that include: type of fiberor blends, fiber dimensions, yarn and fabric construction, andfabric finishing treatments. The pilling resistance of a specificfabric in actual wear varies more

22、 with general conditions of useand individual wearers than in replicate fabric specimenssubjected to controlled laboratory 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 p

23、illing. It is recommended that fabrics be tested afterlaundering or drycleaning, or both. Testing before refurbishingalso 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

24、lint and degree of color contrast.These factors are not evaluated when pilling is rated solely onthe number of pills. The 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

25、fabric is dependent on both thecharacteristics of the pills and the other factors affecting thesurface appearance, it is suggested that fabrics tested in thelaboratory be evaluated subjectively with regard to theiracceptability and not rated solely on the number of pillsdeveloped.Aseries of standard

26、s, based on graduated degrees ofsurface change of the fabric type being tested, may be set up toprovide a basis for subjective 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

27、fuzz. Counting the pills and weighing theirnumber with respect to their size and contrast, as a combinedmeasure of pilling resistance, is not recommended because ofthe excessive time required for counting, sizing, and calcula-tion.5.6 The degree of fabric pilling is evaluated by comparingthe tested

28、specimens with visual standards, which 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
