Historical Standard: ASTM D6717-01 Standard Test Method for Linear Density of Elastomeric Yarns (Skein Specimens)
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D6717
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the linear density of 'as produced' elastomeric yarns made from rubber, spandex or other elastomers using a skein.
For the determination of linear density of elastomeric yarns using short length specimens, refer to Test Method D 2591.
1.2 The method is not applicable to covered, wrapped, or core-spun yarns, or yarns spun from elastomeric staple, or elastomeric yarns removed from fabrics.
1.3 This test method is applicable to elastomeric yarns having a range of 40 to 3200 dtex (36 to 2900 denier).
1.4 The values stated in either SI units or U.S. Customary units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the test the US Customary units are in parentheses. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other.
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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
