    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Specifies a method for determination of the linear density of all types of yarn in package form. Applies to: cabled yarns, single yarns (spun, monofilament or multifilament and folded (plied) yarns. Does not apply to yarns having a linear density greater than 2,000 tex.
