1、Designation: D 5103 07Standard Test Method forLength and Length Distribution of Manufactured StapleFibers (Single-Fiber Test)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5103; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revisio

2、n, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of averagestaple length and staple length distribution of bo

3、th manufac-tured and natural fibers by manually measuring single fiberlengths. This test method is also used to measure the length offibers removed from a staple yarn, but such a measurementmay not represent the fibers staple length, as manufactured.1.2 Because this test method requires measuring th

4、e lengthof only 50 fibers, it is not suitable for use in determining thenumber of long fibers that occur infrequently in a sample.NOTE 1For determination for overlength fibers, refer to Test MethodD 3513.NOTE 2For methods covering the determination of the average lengthand length distribution of nat

5、ural fibers, refer to the following methods:for cotton, Test Method D 1440, and Test Method D 1447, for wool, TestMethod D 519, Test Method D 1234, and Test Method D 1575.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility

6、 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.

Summary of Test Method

10、4.1 Each fiber to be tested is gripped at the tips with forceps,fully extended without stretching, and measured. The averagefiber length of the measured fibers is calculated and the lengthdistribution curve is plotted.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used for research, development,qual

11、ity control, product specifications, and may be used foracceptance testing of commercial shipments of textile fibers.However, caution is advised since information on between-laboratory precision is lacking. Comparative tests as directed in5.1.1 may be advisable.5.1.1 If there are differences of prac

12、tical significance be-tween reported test results for two laboratories (or more),comparative tests should be performed to determine if there isa statistical bias between them, using competent statisticalassistance.As a minimum, test samples that are as homogenousas possible, drawn from the material

13、from which the disparatetest results were obtained, and randomly assigned in equalnumbers to each laboratory for testing. The test results from thetwo laboratories should be compared using a statistical test forupaired data, at a probability level chosen prior to the testing1This test method is unde

Sampling7.1 Lot SamplingAs a lot sample for acceptance testing,take at random the number of shipping containers directed inthe applicable material

20、 specification or other agreement be-tween the purchaser and supplier, such as an agreement to usePractice D 3333 or Practice D 2258. Consider shipping con-tainers to be the primary sampling units.NOTE 3An adequate specification or other agreement between thepurchaser or supplier requires taking int

21、o account the variability betweenshipping units, between packages, ends or other laboratory sampling unitswithin a shipping unit if applicable, and within specimens from singlepackage, end or other laboratory sampling units to provide a samplingplan with a meaningful producers risk, consumers risk,

22、acceptablequality level, and limiting quantity level.7.2 Laboratory SampleAs a laboratory sample for accep-tance testing, take at random from each shipping container inthe lot sample the number of laboratory sampling units asdirected in an applicable material specification or other agree-ment betwee

23、n the purchaser and supplier such as an agreementto use Practice D 3333 or Practice D 2258. Preferably, the samenumber of laboratory sampling units are taken from eachshipping container in the lot sample. If differing numbers oflaboratory sampling units are to be taken from shippingcontainers in the

24、 lot sample, determine at random whichshipping containers are to have each number of laboratory unitsdrawn.7.2.1 For Staple FiberTake 50-g samples from laboratoryunits.7.2.2 For Sliver (or Top) or TowTake 1 m from theleading end which has a clean, uniform appearance.7.2.3 For YarnsPrepare at least a

25、 50-m skein from eachpackage.7.3 Test SpecimensFrom each laboratory sampling unit,take ten specimens at random. If the standard deviationdetermined for the ten specimens is more than a value agreedupon between the purchaser and supplier, continue testing ingroups of ten specimens from the same labor

26、atory samplingunit until the standard deviation for all specimens tested is notmore than the agreed to value or, by agreement, stop testingafter a specified number.7.3.1 Carefully remove twist before taking specimens fromyarn. Using tweezers and grasping the specimens at the ends,gently remove the r

In some cases, if speci-mens are not to be tested immediately, place them on anidentified short-pile of plush surface for storage until ready totest.8. Conditioning8.1 Conditioning is not necessary unless the material isrecei

Procedure9.1 Test the specimens in the standard atmosphere fortesting textiles, which is 70 6 2F (21 6 1C) and 65 6 2%relative humidity.9.2 Clea

30、s of the fiber with forceps perpendicular tothe axis of the fiber. The ends of the fiber should be in line withthe tips of the forceps.9.7 Place the tip of the forceps that is gripping one end ofthe fiber at a reference point on the measuring scale. Anilluminated magnifier may be useful for more pre

31、cise align-ment of the end of the fiber and the references point.9.8 Without stretching the fiber, extend it to full extension toremove the crimp by moving the forceps gripping the other endof the fiber along the measuring scale.
