ASTM D3822Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Single Textile Fibers
This test method covers the measurement of tensile properties of natural and man-made single textile fibers of sufficient length to permit mounting test specimens in a tensile testing machine. This test method is also applicable to continuous (filament) and discontinuous (staple) fibers or filaments taken from yarns or tow. When the fibers to be tested contain crimp, or if the tow or yarns have been subjected to bulking, crimping, or texturing process, the tensile properties are determined after removal of the crimp.
Before conducting ASTM D3822, it is important to read the entire specification. Standards can be obtained from appropriate standard authorities.
