Summary of Test

11、 Method4.1 A specimen (one piece of or a stack of pieces) is placedbetween two plates and the height of the stack measured. Aweight of specified mass is placed on the top plate for aspecified period of time. The height of the specimen with themass in place is measured at specified time intervals. Th

12、e massis removed and the height of the stack is measured at specifiedtime intervals. Compression resistance and recovery propertiesare calculated using the height measurements.5. Significance and Use5.1 The ability of a highloft nonwoven fabric to resistcompression and recovery and elastic loss afte

16、ighloft nonwovens will vary according to theend-use application. Furniture, bedding apparel, and industrialapplications do not require the same property values to satisfytheir individual consumers. They will require resistance tocompression and the ability to recover to some degree.5.3 Option 1 of t

17、his test method is used in the trade for theacceptance testing of commercial shipments. Compressionrecovery graphs from Option 2 can be helpful in comparingperformance of different highloft nonwoven fabrics.5.3.1 In case of a dispute arising from differences inreported test results when using this t

18、est method, the purchaserand the supplier should conduct comparative tests to determineif there is a significant statistical bias between their laborato-ries. Competent statistical assistance is recommended for theinvestigation of bias. As a minimum, the two parties shouldtake a group of test sample

19、s that are as homogeneous aspossible and that are from a lot of material of the type inquestion. The test samples should be randomly assigned inequal numbers to each laboratory for testing. The averageresults from the two laboratories should be compared using anappropriate statistical test for unpai

If a bias is found, either its cause must befound and corrected or the purchaser and the supplier mustagree to interpret future test results with consideration of theknown bias.NOTE 1An adequate sp

21、ecification or the agreement between thepurchaser and the supplier requires taking into account the variabilitybetween rolls and within rolls to provide a meaningful producers risk,consumers risk, acceptance quality level, and limiting quality level.6.

25、reement between the pur-chaser and the supplier. Consider the rolls, or pieces, ofnonwoven material to be the primary sampling unit. In absenceof such an agreement, take the number of rolls specified inTable 1.7.2 Laboratory SampleFor the laboratory sample, take aswatch extending the width of the fa

26、bric and approximately 1m (1 yd) along the machine direction from each roll, or piece,in the lot sample. If the thickness of the sample is such that thislength is not adequate to supply enough fabric for the testing,use a swatch that is twice this length. For rolls of fabric, takea sample that will

27、exclude the outer wrap of the roll or the innerwrap around the core.7.3 Test SpecimensSpecimens should be taken randomlyfrom areas of the laboratory sample that are free of folds andwrinkles and any distortions that make these specimens abnor-mal from the rest of the test material. Unless otherwises

28、pecified, take specimens randomly no nearer to the edges ofthe sample than one tenth of the width of the sample. Test onespecimen from each sampling unit, or test three specimensrepresenting the right, the center, and the left of each samplingunit, if the width exceeds 1 m.7.3.1 A specimen consists

Precision and Bias12.1 SummaryPreliminary interlaboratory test data haveshown that the variance in compression recovery

49、 of highloftnonwoven fabrics by this test method is dependent upon thenominal thickness and possibly the manufacturing method ofthe material under evaluation; therefore, no general statementcan be made concerning least critical differences. The follow-ing data were generated during the interlaboratory test and arepresented for reference. In comparing two averages for fourD6571013observations, the difference between averages should notexceed the following values in 95 out of 100 cases when allobservations are taken by the same well-trained operator usingthe sam
