Textiles - Determination of twist in yarns - Direct counting method

ISO 2061:2015 specifies a method for the determination of the direction of twist in yarns, the amount of twist, in terms of turns per unit length, and the change in length on untwisting, by the direct counting method. This International Standard is applicable to a) single yarns (spun and filament), b) plied yarns, and c) cabled yarns. Separate procedures are given for each type of yarn. The method is designed primarily for yarns in packages, but, with special precautions, the procedures can be used for yarns taken from fabrics. It is not suitable for the determination of twist in a monofilament. NOTE See also ISO 1890, which was prepared especially for the needs of glass textile technology, and ISO 7211‑4. ISO 2061:2015 covers the determination of twist in plied and cabled yarns as follows: a) in plied yarns: the final twist of the plied yarns and the original twist of the single yarn before plying; b) in cabled yarns: ? the final cabling twist of the yarn; ? the original twist of the plied yarn after plying, but prior to the last stage of processing; ? the twist of the single yarn before plying. If desired, the twist of single and plied yarn components, as they lie in the final structure, can be determined by the special procedure given in 10.5.7. ISO 2061:2015 is not applicable, except by agreement, to yarns which stretch more than 0,5 % when the tension increases from 0,5 cN to 1,0 cN per unit linear density of the yarn expressed in tex. Such yarns can be tested under special conditions of tension which are accepted by all parties interested in the test results. ISO 2061:2015 is not suitable for products of open-end spinning and intermingled (interlaced) multifilament yarns. ISO 2061:2015 is not applicable to yarns which are too large to permit their being placed in the clamps of the testing apparatus without crushing or distortion severe enough to affect the test results.

Textiles - Determination of twist in yarns - Direct counting method

ISO 2061:2015 specifies a method for the determination of the direction of twist in yarns, the amount of twist, in terms of turns per unit length, and the change in length on untwisting, by the direct counting method.

This International Standard is applicable to

a) single yarns (spun and filament),

b) plied yarns, and

c) cabled yarns.

Separate procedures are given for each type of yarn. The method is designed primarily for yarns in packages, but, with special precautions, the procedures can be used for yarns taken from fabrics. It is not suitable for the determination of twist in a monofilament.

NOTE See also ISO 1890, which was prepared especially for the needs of glass textile technology, and ISO 7211‑4.

ISO 2061:2015 covers the determination of twist in plied and cabled yarns as follows:

a) in plied yarns: the final twist of the plied yarns and the original twist of the single yarn before plying;

b) in cabled yarns:

  • ? the final cabling twist of the yarn;
  • ? the original twist of the plied yarn after plying, but prior to the last stage of processing;
  • ? the twist of the single yarn before plying.

If desired, the twist of single and plied yarn components, as they lie in the final structure, can be determined by the special procedure given in 10.5.7.

ISO 2061:2015 is not applicable, except by agreement, to yarns which stretch more than 0,5 % when the tension increases from 0,5 cN to 1,0 cN per unit linear density of the yarn expressed in tex.

Textiles - Determination of twist in yarns - Direct counting method

Le présent document spécifie une méthode pour déterminer le sens de torsion des fils, la valeur de cette torsion exprimée en tours par unité de longueur, et la variation de longueur après détorsion par la méthode à "simple détorsion". Cette méthode est applicable aux : fils simples (filés ou fils multifilaments), fils retors, fils câblés. Des modes opératoires distincts sont fixés pour chaque type de fil. La méthode est destinée tout d'abord aux fils sur enroulements, mais avec quelques précautions elle est aussi applicable aux fils prélevés sur les étoffes. Elle ne convient pas à la détermination de la torsion d'un monofilament.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
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.
