A

2、 number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method involves the measurement and analysisof two-dimensional projections of flax fibers using imageanalysis software in th

No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with i

4、ts use. It is theresponsibility 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 Method4.1 This test method involves the preparation of flax fibersfor digital capture, the scanning of the fibers for analysis, andthe calibration and standardization of the image processing.From the image analysis, the arithmetic mean and its standarddeviatio

Significance and Use5.1 Longitudinal preparation is much quicker and lessdamaging than cross-sectional analysis and allows the fibers tobe evaluated in their natural state.5.2 This test method provides measurement of a flax f

8、iberspecimen that uses less specimen preparation, produces con-sistent results, and minimal specimen modification. It has beenshown that the median values of width correlate very well withthe Optical Fiber Diameter Analyzer (OFDA), an apparatusdeveloped for measuring the value and distribution of wo

United States17.1.1 Acoarse comb or other device used to distribute fibersto create a single focal plane and better enable fiber edgedetection.NOTE 1Excessive overlap of fibers reduces the possibility of observ-ing a

15、ll of the fibers in a single focal plane.7.1.2 Two flat surfaces capable of compressing the samplewhere at least one surface is optically transparent.NOTE 2The purpose of the flat and compressive surfaces is to createa uniform focal plane to capture a majority of fibers in one focal plane.7.2 Image

16、Capture Hardware:7.2.1 The hardware device must capture an image with areal optical resolution of at least 4000 dpi (1 dot = 6.35 m).The hardware device must be able to provide a digital image ina RAW format for storage and analysis.NOTE 3Stated resolution does not necessarily correspond to the real

17、optical resolution.7.2.2 The apparatus must be able to create a sharp image byautomatic or manual focusing.7.3 Image Analysis Software:7.3.1 Software must be capable of importing a digital image(including RAW formatted images), performing featureextraction, and calculating fiber widths for further a

18、nalysis andelectronic data export.7.3.2 Software must be capable of manual or automaticadjustments so that it measures the specimen of interest (forexample, flax fiber and fiber bundles 8-100 m).7.3.3 Software must be capable of displaying the originalimage with an overlay of the feature extraction

19、image to adjustthe threshold for proper edge detection.8. Reagents and Materials8.1 Materials may include National Institute of Standardsand Technology (NIST) traceable calibration images, syntheticfibers of known diameter, and components of the apparatus. Noreagents are used.9. Hazards9.1 There are

20、 no known hazards.10. Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units10.1 This test method describes the measurement of thesample of interest taken from the lot and is not necessarily anaccurate representation of the lots distribution. No less thanthree test specimens must be taken; additional specimens wi

21、llbe dependent on the accuracy required by the end user and thenatural variation of the fibers. Due to this variation, it issuggested that at least 100 fibers be analyzed from eachspecimen.10.1.1 Gently loosen flax fibers such that individual fiberscan be accessed and extracted to produce a laborato

22、ry sample.NOTE 4The specimen should be handled gently to reduce fiber widthreduction due to fiber separation during fiber extraction. Unattached shive,trash, and other impurities should be removed by gentle shaking.10.1.2 Take the test specimen fibers by random samplingfrom the laboratory sample.10.

23、1.3 Use a coarse comb or other device to distribute testspecimen fibers on a flat surface thus creating a single focalplane and enabling better fiber edge detection.NOTE 5Fine combs, multiple combings, or rigorous combing, orcombination thereof, can reduce fiber width measurements.10.1.4 Use two fla

24、t surfaces capable of compressing andsecuring the fiber specimen where at least one surface isoptically transparent to create a uniform focal plane.11. Preparation of Apparatus11.1 Follow manufacturers guidelines.12. Calibration and Standardization12.1 The system must be calibrated for accurate fibe

25、r widthmeasurement.12.1.1 The scanner and software must be periodically cali-brated according to manufacturers recommendations usingimages of known dimensions (for example, NIST traceableimages).12.1.2 Users are required to evaluate fiber generated imagesfor uniform edge detection and optimize the s

26、oftware param-eters for optimal image overlay. The software must be cali-brated to visually depict the fibers edge (generated fiberimages should overlay original images with proper edgedetection).NOTE 6Edge detection may be dependent upon light source decay.13. Conditioning13.1 Bring the laboratory

27、flax fiber sample from the prevail-ing atmosphere to moisture equilibrium for testing which is 216 1C (70 6 2F) and 65 6 2 % relative humidity and checkthe equilibrium as directed in Practice D1776. No precondi-tioning is required.14. Procedure14.1 Prepare fiber test specimen for image capture.14.2

28、Follow manufacturers guidelines to acquire image offiber test specimen.14.3 Import the digital image, perform feature extraction,and determine fiber widths using the image analysis software.14.4 Repeat 14.1 14.3 for remaining fiber test specimens.15. Calculation or Interpretation of Results15.1 Calc

29、ulate fiber width statistics (for example, arithmeticmean fiber width, sample standard deviation, and median).NOTE 7Image analysis software may automatically generate thesestatistics.15.2 Additional reporting will be defined by agreementbetween supplier and user of the data.16.
