IS 10014 : Part 2 : 1981 : Methods of Tests for Man - Made Staple Fibres - PART-II Determination of Linear Density

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard ( Part II ) prescribes two methods for the determination of average linear density of staple fibres One method applies to fibres cut to a definite length and the other to whole fibres. This standard is not suitable for blends having different, nominal linear densities.

1.2 The methods may not give sufficiently accurate estimation of the linear density if the fibres are highly crimped.
