1、Designation:D213013Standard Test Method forDiameter of Wool and Other Animal Fibers byMicroprojection1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2130;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision
2、.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript 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 a procedure,using themicrop
3、rojector,for the determination of the average fiberdiameter and the fiber diameter variation on wool and otheranimal fibers,such as mohair,cashmere,alpaca,camels hair,etc.(Note 1)in their various forms.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard.The metric equivalents
4、 of inch-pound unitsmay be approximate.NOTE1This test method may also be applied to any fibers having around cross section and accordingly may be used many times formelt-spun man-made fibers such as polyamides,polyesters,and glass;alsoit may be applied to a limited number of polyacrylics and regener
