Scope

This Standard sets out a method for the determination of linear density of all types of textile yarn from packages, with the exception of any yarn that may be the subject of a separate Australian Standard. It is applicable to a consignment or an individual package.
It is not applicable to yarns which stretch more than 0.5 percent when the tension, in millinewtons per unit linear density of the yarn in tex, is increased from 5 mN/tex to 10 mN/tex.
The method is not applicable to yarns having a linear density greater than 2000 tex.
