1、Designation:D1776/D1776M16Standard Practice forConditioning and Testing Textiles1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1776/D1776M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in p
2、arentheses 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 practice covers the conditioning and testing oftextiles when
3、 conditioning is specified in a test method.Because prior exposure of textiles to high or low humidity mayaffect moisture pick-up equilibrium,a procedure also is givenfor preconditioning the material when required.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separat
4、ely as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if an

16、 results of the tests.To make reliablecomparisons among different textile materials and products,and among different laboratories,it is necessary that standardatmospheres be utilized during conditioning and testing.5.2 The documentation of standard atmospheres for precon-ditioning(if necessary),conditioning,testing settings andtolerances,including the determination of the uncertainty ofmeasurement of temperature and relative humidity recordingdevices,may be necessary for laboratory accreditation
