The temperature variation from the set value shall not exceed * 4 °C inthe immediate vicinity of the specimens. The utilizable space shall have a height of at least 600 mm and suitable width and depth to accommodate the holder of the automatic testing device in an upright position, so that the skeins can hang perfectly. ‘The oven shall be operated with forced air circulation.EN 14621:2005 (E) 4.1.3 Conditioning and preparation of the test specimens ‘Take off at least 500 m from the packages representing the laboratory samples before preparing the test specimens. Prior to testing, the specimens are exposed for at least 24 h to the standard atmosphere according to EN ISO 139. To permit the use of the same linear density related tensile forces for yams of different linear density, a skein is produced having a linear density of about 2 500 dtex (250 tex) by winding a corresponding length ‘of yarn onto a reel. While the yarn is being reeled, a tensile force per unit linear density of 2 cNitex + 10% shall be maintained as uniformly as possible. (See Annex A for the calculation of the length of yam to be reeled.) The two yam ends shall then be tied together, but in such a way that stretching of the yarn is avoided, ‘When suspending the skeins from the specimen holder, the knots are placed at the suspension hooks. Throughout the sampling and conditioning procedures, particular care should be taken that any stress applied to the specimens in the course of handling does not exceed the tensile force applied during reeling. 4.1.4, Procedure After the skein is removed from the winding reel, itis suspended from the holder of the automatic testing device, and a tension weight of 2,5 cN (e.g. an S-shaped hook) is attached to the skein to produce the required tensile (force per unit linear density of 0,01 cNitex) which remains on the skein throughout the whole testing procedure, Following this, the holder with the skeins is placed into the oven preheated to a temperature of (1204) °C, with its forced air circulation in operation, and is kept there for a period of 10 min + 20 s to develop the crimp. Placing the holder into the oven shall be carried out within a time of 5 s to 10s to minimize the temperature drop in the oven. When the crimp development time has elapsed, the holder with the specimens is removed from the oven and exposed again to the standard atmosphere for 24 h for reconditioning and relaxation. NOTE 1 The period of conditioning the specimens alter reeling as well as after the heat treatment may be reduced, e.. to 30 min, provided that this is clearly stated in the test report. Only test resulls obtained with identical Conditioning periods may be compared NOTE 2 _ Polypropylene or polyethylene may be tested under different condtions of time and temperature, provided that this is clearly stated in the test report. Only test results obtained under identical test conditions may be compared. To determine the straightened length Lo, the holder with the specimens is placed into the automatic testing device tester. Thereatter, starting with the first specimen in the holder, the loading apparatus gradually extends the skein until a tensile force of 500 cN (i.e. 2 cNltex + 5 %) is reached. This force is maintained for (10 + 1)s, and after this, the straightened length Lo is measured. Following the determination of the straightened length, the loading apparatus travels in the opposite direction to release the tensile force on the skein. ‘The specimen holder now turns to the next position, and the loading apparatus subjects the next skein to the same tensile force. After all specimens in the holder have been tested, and after a relaxation period of 10 min + 20 s has elapsed, the contracted length L, of each skein under the pre-tension weight of 2,5 cN is measured by the same loading apparatus.EN 14621:2005 (E) 4.1.5 Calculation and expression of the results The crimp contraction, CC, expressed in percent, is calculated from the following equation: where Lo is the straightened length; Ly is the contracted length. 4.2 Determination of the hot air shrinkage 424 Principle ‘Skeins of known nominal linear density are subjected to a low tensile force and treated with hot air at a specified temperature for a specified time. The skein length is measured under a specified tensile force Suitable to straighten the skein before and after the heat treatment. Shrinkage is calculated as the difference between the two length values related to the length before the heat treatment. 4.2.2 Apparatus 4.2.2.1 Real A reel with a circumference of (1 000 + 2,5) mm is used for winding the yarn skeins. The reel shall be fitted with a device to provide the specified tensile force per unit linear density to the material being wound on with the maximum possible accuracy and to maintain the separation between a number of skeins wound at the same time, 42.22 Automatic testing device ‘A suitable testing device uses a loading apparatus, which extends the skein with a speed of (1000 + 10) mm/min for textured yarn or (250 + 10) mm/min for non-textured yarn untl the preset tensile force is reached at which the skein is straightened, The device determines the initial length of the skein at this tensile force. ‘The same apparatus determines in a second measurement the length of the skein in the shrunken state (after treatment of the skein in the oven) under a low tensile force provided by a pretension weight attached to the skein Resolution of the length measurement is 0,05 mm or better. ‘A number of skeins are arranged in a holder, with the skeins being tested in succession. The holder can be removed from the automatic testing device. 422.3 Oven with forced ventilation ‘The utilizable space shall have: — a height of at least 600 mm and suitable width and depth to accommodate the holder of the ‘automatic testing device in an upright position, so that the skeins can hang perfectly: tnEN 14621:2005 (E) — a thermometer (e.g, thermocouple) to measure and record the hot air temperature in the vicinity of the test specimens; — an applied temperature accuracy of £3“ Preferably, the oven has a temperature control to alow preheating the oven to a higher temperature level prior to placing the holder with the specimens into the oven, and to reduce the temperature to the required value: 190 °C, after the holder has been put in. In this manner a temperature drop below the required value can be avoided. ‘The temperature variation from the set value shall not exceed + 4 °C in the immediate vici specimen, of the NOTE Different polymers may require different temperatures. The heat temperature may be changed, provided that this is clearly stated in the test report. Only test results obtained with identical treatment temperatures may be compared. ‘The oven shall be operated with forced air circulation, 4.2.3. Conditioning and preparation of the test specimens ‘Take off at least 500 m from the packages repres specimens. ting the laboratory samples before preparing the test Prior to testing, the packages are exposed for at least 24 h to the standard atmosphere according 10 EN ISO 139, To permit the use of the same linear density related tensile forces for yarns of different linear density, a ‘skein is produced having a linear density of about 2 500 dtex (250 tex) for yarns with linear density up to 7 000 dtex or about 10 000 dex for yarns with linear density over 1 000 dtex by winding a corresponding length of yarn onto a reel 1 m in circurnference. (See Annex A for the calculation of the length of yam to be reeled.) ‘While the yam is being reeled, the pre-tension, corresponding to an approximate force per unit linear density of 2 cN/tex + 10 % for textured multiflament yarn and 0,5 cNMtex + 10 % for non-textured ‘multifiament yarn, shall be maintained as uniformly as possible. ‘The two yam ends shall then be tied together, but in such a way that stretching of the yarn is avoided. When suspending the skeins from the specimen holder, the knots are placed at the suspension hooks. Throughout the sampling and conditioning procedures, particular care should be taken that any stress applied to the specimens in the course of handling does not exceed the tensile force applied during reeling, 42.4 Procedure ‘After the skein is removed from the winding reel, it is suspended from the holder of the automatic testing device, and a tension weight of 2,5 cN (for skeins of 2 500 dtex, e.g. an S-shaped hook) or 10 eN (for skeins of 10 000 dtex) is attached to the skein to produce the required tensile (force per unit linear density Cf 0,01 cNitex) which remains at the skein throughout the whole testing procedure. To determine the straightened length Le (intial length), the holder with the specimens is placed into the automatic testing device. Thereafter, starting with the first specimen in the holder, the loading apparatus ‘gradually extends the skein until an effective tensile force per unit linear density of 2 cNitex + 5 % for textured yam or 0,5 cNitex + 5 % for non-textured yam is reached. This force is maintained for (30 + 1) 5, and the straightened length Lo is measured. Following the determination of the straightened length, the loading apparatus travels in the opposite direction to release the tensile force on the skein.EN 14621:2005 (E) The specimen holder now tums to the next position, and the loading apparatus subjects the next skein to the same tensile force. After all specimens in the holder have been tested, the holder is placed into the oven preheated to the required temperature 190 *C with its forced air circulation in operation and is kept there for a period of 15 min 30s. Placing the holder into the oven shall be carried out within a maximum time of 5 s to 7 s to minimize the temperature drop in the oven. When the shrinkage development time has elapsed, the holder with the specimens is removed from the oven and exposed again to the standard atmosphere for 24 h for reconditioning. NOTE __ The period of conditioning the samples before testing as well as after the heat treatment may be reduced, 8. to 30 min, provided that this Is clearly stated in the test report. Only test results obtained with identical conditioning periods may be compared. To determine the straightened length L; (length after heat treatment), the holder with the specimens is placed again into the automatic testing device. Thereafter, starting with the first specimen in the holder, the loading apparatus extends gradually increasing the skein with the tensile force until an effective tensile force per unit linear density of 2 cNitex + 5 % for textured yarn or 0,5 cNitex #5 % for non-textured yam is reached. This force is maintained for (30 + 1), and after this the length L, is measured. 4.25 Calculation and expression of the results The hot air shrinkage, HAS, expressed in percent, is.calculated from the following equation: HAS = 100x224.

The skein length is measured under a specified tensile force suitable to straighten the skein before and after the heat treatment. Shrinkage is calculated as the difference between the two length values related to the length before the heat treatment. NOTE Water shrinkage tests can be made with lower water temperatures than boiling water. The conditions of such treatment have to be clearly stated in the test report. Only test results obtained with identical water temperatures may be compared, 4.3.2 Apparatus 43.24 Reel A reel with a circumference of (1 000 + 2,5) mm is used for winding the yarn skeins.

Resolution of the length measurement is 0,05 mm or better. ‘A number of skeins are arranged in a holder, with the skeins being tested in succession. The holder can be removed from the automatic testing device. 43.23 Ventilated oven for temperature up to 50 °C The utlizable space shall have: — a height of at least 600 mm and suitable width and depth to accommodate the holder of the ‘automatic testing device in an upright position, so that the skeins can hang perfectly; — a thermometer (e. the test specimens; thermocouple) to measure and record the hot air temperature in the vicinity of — an applied temperature accuracy of + 3 °C. ‘The temperature variation from the set value shall not exceed + 4 °C in the immediate vicinity of the specimens. ‘The oven shall be operated with forced air circulation. 4.3.2.4 Boiling water container The hot-water vessel (see example in Figure 2) shall be suiteble for a treatment of the test specimens arranged in the holder of the automatic testing device in hot water.
