Standard Test Methods for Quantitative Analysis of Textiles
 N D629

Annotation

These test methods cover procedures for the determination of the fiber blend composition of mixtures of the fibers listed in 1.2. Procedures for quantitative estimation of the amount of moisture and certain nonfibrous materials in textiles are also described, for use in the analysis of mixtures, but these are not the primary methods for the determination of moisture content for commercial weights.

These test methods cover procedures for the following fiber types:

Natural Fibers:

Cellulose-Base Fibers:

Cotton

Hemp

Flax

Ramie

Protein-Base Fibers:

Animal hairs (other than wool)

Silk, cultivated Silk, Tussah

Wool

Man-Made Fibers:

Cellulose-Base Fibers:

Acetate (secondary)

Rayon, viscose or cuprammonium

Triacetate

Synthetic-Base Fibers:

Acrylic

Aramid
