1. Purpose and scope
1.1.This test method describes physical, chemical and microscopical techniques for identifying textile fibers used commercially in the united states. Fibers may examined in raw fiber form or taken from yarnor fabric.
1.2. These test methods may be used to identify generic fiber types as defined by the textile fiber products identification act and subsequent rules and regulations of the federal tradecommission quantitative methods for determining percentages in blends of fibers are covered by AATCC test method 20A, fiber wich are shown below grouped by generic classifications.
