14、kness of the material;and certain properties suchas volume resistivity cannot be determined without a knowl-edge of thickness.6.Test Specimens6.1 In the case of rolls or sheets,across the entire width cuta specimen 1 in.(25.4 mm)wide.6.2 In the case of tapes,the specimens shall be 36 in.(920mm)long.
15、7.Procedure7.1 Measure the thickness in accordance with Test MethodsD 374,with the following modifications:7.1.1 Raise the presser foot the distance necessary to allowfree movement of the specimen from measurement to measure-ment position.Carefully lower the presser foot this distance.7.1.2 Use Meth
