Summary of Test Method4.1 A specified length of yarn (specimen) is stripped auto-matically directly from the package, cut, and weighed. Theyarn number is calculated by interfaced computer, displayed ona monitor, and may

10、 be printed. The yarn number can bereported in tex, denier, or cotton count units.4.2 Simultaneously, by means of a capacitance cell, themass of the specimen is measured in subsections and frequencyof mass value crossovers are counted for calculation ofvariability properties: %DS, %CV, %BGT and %DFV

11、.5. Significance and Use5.1 Test Method D6612 for yarn number and yarn numbervariability is satisfactory for acceptance of commercial ship-ments and is used in the trade.5.1.1 If there are differences of practical significance be-tween the reported test results for two or more laboratories,comparati

12、ve tests should be performed by those laboratories todetermine if there is a statistical bias between them, usingcompetent statistical assistance. As a minimum, samples usedfor each comparative tests should be as homogeneous aspossible, drawn from the same lot of material as the samplesthat results

13、in disparate results during initial testing, andrandomly assigned in equal numbers to each laboratory.

19、st textile applications in the 80330 dtex (70300denier) range, a 1.01.3 %CV is adequate. %CV of yarnscoarser than 666 dtex (600 denier) is not routine and usuallynot meaningful. %CV is less discriminating that %DS.5.3.2 Bad/Good Test%BGT, which will normally be up to20 % greater than %DS value, emph

20、asizes the greatest spreadin the entire length tested, (%DS is an average). If the value isgreater than 50 % of the %DS, it suggests that there is a processthat needs to be investigated.5.3.3 Density Spread%DS is equivalent to the Uster %unevenness (Test Method D1425) and is an indication ofshort-te

21、rm variability. Yarns with extreme values are morelikely to cause trouble in subsequent yarn processes, whichmakes this perhaps the most useful index. The minimumachievable and maximum tolerance spread for a yarn productwill depend on the yarn manufacturing process and end use. Aspread of 34 % gener

22、ally is, for most textile applications, inthe range of 160550 dtex (150 to 500 deniers). More criticalapplications, such as those using finer yarns, may require lowervalues.5.3.4 Density Frequency VariabilityDFV is an index ofspacing variability, whereas the others are indices of magnitudeor unevenn

23、ess. Frequency variability can induce resonance inhigh-speed processing and is a common source of barre, dyestreaks, or patterned unevenness in fabrics.6.

Sampling7.1 Lot SampleAs a lot sample for acceptance testing,take at random the number of shipping units directed in anapplicable material specification or other agreement betweenthe purchaser and the supplier, such as an agreeme

26、nt to usePractice D2258. Consider shipping cases or other shippingunits to be the primary sampling units.NOTE 2An adequate specification or other agreement between thepurchaser and the supplier requires taking into account the variabilitybetween shipping units, between packages or ends within a ship

27、ping unit,and between specimens from a single package to provide a sampling planwith a meaningful producers risk, consumers risk, acceptable qualitylevel, and limiting quality level.7.2 Laboratory SampleAs a laboratory sample for accep-tance testing, take at random from each shipping unit in the lot

28、sample the number of packages directed in an applicablematerial specification or other agreement between the pur-chaser and the supplier, such as an agreement to use PracticeD2258. Preferably, the same number of packages should betaken from each shipping unit in the lot sample. If differingnumbers o

29、f packages are to be taken from shipping units in thelot sample, determine at random, which shipping units are tohave each number of packages drawn.7.3 Test SpecimenTest one specimen from each packageof filament yarn and five specimens from each package of spunyarns.
