    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    CONTAINED IN VOL. 07.01, 2016 Defines sewing threads of any fiber.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    1.1These test methods can be used to evaluate sewing threads of any fiber.

    1.1.1The test methods in this standard are intended to evaluate only sewing thread taken from thread holders.

    1.2These test methods only provide for the measurement of sewing thread physical properties. These test methods do not address any other properties that may be important for the satisfactory performance of sewing threads under particular end use conditions.

    1.3These test methods can be used to measure the following properties:

    Sections

    Colorfastness to Drycleaning

    73 – 83

    Colorfastness to Laundering

    62 – 72

    Colorfastness to Water Migration

    84 – 94

    Diameter

    43 – 50

    Length per Thread Holder

    34 – 42

    Shrinkage, Single Strand

    51 – 61

     Dry Heat

    58.1

     Boiling Water

    58.2

    Strength and Elongation

    15 – 21

     Single Strand—Conditioned

    19.1.1

     Single Strand—Wet

    19.1.2

     Loop Strength

    19.2

     Knot Strength

    19.3

    Twist

    22 – 27

    Twist Balance

    28 – 33

    Yarn Number

    7 – 14

    Note 1:For methods covering tests on prepared seams, refer to Test Methods D1683 and D3940.

    1.4The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard; the values in English units are provided as information only and are not exact equivalents.

    1.5This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
