Provides a method for determining the seam opening of a given seam, due to the application of a standard force within the fabric plane at the seam and perpendicular to the seam direction. It is applicable to seams made in woven, non-woven and knitted fabrics.
Scope
This Standard sets out a method for determining the seam opening of a given seam, due to the application of a standard force within the fabric plane at the seam, and perpendicular to the seam direction.
This method is applicable to single seams made in woven, non-woven and knitted fabrics for apparel and furnishing end-uses.
NOTES:
1. The application may be extended to seams of other end-use products as required by the selection of appropriate forces consistent with those encountered during the normal use of such products.
2. When it is required to measure the seam opening of a multiple seam, reference should be made to Appendix A of this Standard.
