Title

"Standard Practice for Conditioning and Testing Textiles"

Description

This practice covers the conditioning and testing of textiles when conditioning is specified in a test method. Because prior exposure of textiles to high or low humidity may affect moisture pick-up equilibrium, a procedure also is given for preconditioning the material when required.

Standard Type(s)
Practice

A definitive set of instructions for performing one or more specific operations that does not produce a test result: Examples of practices include, but are not limited to, application, assessments, cleaning, collection, decontamination, inspections, installation, preparation, sampling, screening, and training.

Personal Protective Equipment
Body Protection

All items of clothing and/or accessories (whether or not detachable) designed and manufactured to provide specific protection. This includes bullet-proof clothing, general protective clothing and full body ensembles that protect from cuts, radiation, temperature extremes, hot splashes from molten metals and other hot liquids, potential impacts from tools, machinery and materials and hazardous chemicals. Examples of body protection include laboratory coats, coveralls, vests, jackets, aprons, surgical gowns and full body suits
