Scope
1.1 These test methods can be used to evaluate sewing threads of any fiber. 1.1.1 The test methods in this standard are intended to evaluate only sewing thread taken from thread holders. 1.2 These 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. 1.3 These 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/D1683M and D3940. 1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses after SI units are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 1.5 This 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
