IS 7703 : Part 1 : 2025 Textiles - Man-Made Fibres Continuous Filament Flat Yarns - Methods of Test - Part 1 Linear Density
1 SCOPE
1.1 This standard (Part 1) prescribes the method for the determination of linear density of man-made fibres continuous filament flat yarn.
1.2 The test method is prescribed in this standard is not applicable, except by agreement, to yarns which stretch more than 0.5 percent when the tension, in centinewtons, per unit linear density of yarn, in tex, increases from 0.5 to 1.0. Such yarns may be tested under special conditions if they are accepted by all the parties interested in the test results.
1.3 The method is also not applicable to yarns having a linear density greater than 2 000 tex or for reinforcement yarns. For such yarns, other skein lengths and special conditions of reeling may be adopted by agreement of the interested parties.
