FOREWORD
This publication which has been processed by the Physical Methodr
of Test Sectional Committee, TDC 1, the composition of which has been
given in Appendix A, had been approved for publication by the Textile
Division Council of ISI.
In textile trade and industry the measurement of various characteristics plays an important role in the analysis, quality control, sale-purchase
For easy underand checking up for compliance to the standard.
standing and interpretation of figures by different interests, it becomes
essential to changeover to a unified set of units which have been accepted
at national as well as international level. I his publication has, therefore,
been issued for the guidance of users for changing over to SI system,
with a view to unifying the set-up of units in various facets of textile
trade and industry.
Wherever the SI units differ from metric units, the
metric units with which the industry is familiar have also been given.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This publication contains a list of SI units recommended for use in the
textile industry and trade.
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.1 Newton
( N ) -
of one kilogram,
1 millinewton
( mN )
= lo5
N ( Newton )
= 9.806 65 mN ( millinewton )
3. LIST OF UNITS
3.1 Table 1 lists the characteristics, SI units ( their metric equivalents,
wherever necessary ), abbreviations and their fields of application,
