Textile fibres - Determination of linear density - Gravimetric method and vibroscope method

This document specifies a gravimetric method and a vibroscope method for the determination of the linear density of textile fibres applicable respectively to:

a) bundles of fibres;

b) individual fibres.

Useful data can be obtained on man-made fibres and, with less precision, on natural fibres.

This document only applies to fibres which can be kept straight and, in the case of bundles, parallel, during test preparation. It is properly applicable when the fibres are readily freed of crimp. The methods in this document are not applicable to tapered fibres.

The vibroscope method is not always applicable to hollow and flat (ribbon-like) fibres.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
