1、Designation:D1907/D1907M12(Reapproved 2018)Standard Test Method forLinear Density of Yarn(Yarn Number)by the Skein Method1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1907/D1907M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revisio
2、n,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers
3、the determination of the lineardensity of all types of yarn in package form,subject to thelimitations of size and stretch given in 1.2 and 1.3.Provision ismade for expressing yarn linear density in all the traditionalyarn numbering systems.1.2 This test method is applicable to yarns that stretch les

5、cable to yarns finer than 2000 tex.However,it may be also adapted to coarser yarns by the use ofskeins of shorter than specified lengths,and alternate reelingconditions,agreeable to the interested parties.1.4 Depending on the procedure used to calculate themoisture content of the yarn being tested,a
