ASTM D1059 – Standard Test Method for Yarn Number Based on Short-Length Specimens | PDF Download

Description:

ASTM D1059 outlines the standard method for determining the yarn number (linear density) of textile yarns using short-length specimens. This test method is essential for measuring the fineness or thickness of yarns expressed in units such as Tex, Denier, or Cotton Count. It is particularly useful when only small samples of yarn are available, making it ideal for laboratories, production facilities, and textile research centers.

This method ensures accurate and consistent results when testing yarns from skeins, cones, bobbins, or fabric extractions, helping maintain quality control and meet industry specifications.

• Measures yarn number (linear density) using short-length specimens

• Applicable to spun yarns and filament yarns

• Suitable for small or limited yarn samples

• Essential for textile quality control, specification checks, and research

• Provides results in Denier, Tex, and other common yarn units
