1、Designation:D 6652 01Standard Test Method forDetermining Fibrous Debris From Nonwoven Fabrics1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6652;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A numb
2、er in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the quantifying of fibrous debrisreleased and generated from fabrics.1.2 This test method applies to all fabrics used
3、as wipingmaterials for purposes,such as house-cleaning,cleaning,cleanrooms,spill clean-up or removal,industrial wipes,shoptowels,polishing cloths,etc.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as the standard.Within the text,the inch-pound units are sho
4、wn in parentheses.The valuesstated in each system are not exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in nonconformancewith the specification.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if
5、 any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:D 123 Terminology Relating to Textiles2D 6651 Test
6、Method for Determining Rate of Sorption andSorptive Capacity of Nonwoven Fabrics33.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 extrinsic sorptive capacity,nin textile fabrics,thesorptive capacity of a fabric to a specified liquid on aper-unit-area basis under specified conditions.3.1.1.1 DiscussionWhile extrin
7、sic sorptive capacity isexpressed in terms of volume per unit area,intrinsic capacityhas been used to describe capacity in terms of volume per unitmass.By way of example,if a fabric exhibited an intrinsiccapacity of 5 mL/g,that mass of fabric would hold 5 mLwhether it was part of a 50 g/m2or 200 g/m
