FOREWORD
This Indian Standard
( Second Revision ) was adopted by Bureau of Indian Standards after the
draft finalized by the Physical Methods of Tests Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Textile Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1960 and subsequently revised in 1970, and covered only testing of single cotton yarn using constant-rate-of-traverse
machine. The standard is being revised
to cover the testing of all types of yarns ( single, plied or cabled and made from cotton, wool,
silk, jute, man-made fibres or their blends and also yarn removed from fabrics ) using constantrate-of traverse, constant-rate-of-loading
and constant-rate-of-extension
machines and also to
align it with IS0 2062 : 1972 Textiles - Yarn from packages - Method for determination
of
breaking load and elongation at the breaking load of single strands - (CRL, CRE and CRT
testers ), as far as possible.
The single strand method gives a more accurate measure of strength and elongation and more
information of the percentage variation in the material than does the skein method. On the other
hand, the single strand method, while using less material, requires more of operators time and is
accordingly costly.
The skein breaking load is always less than the sum of the,breaking
loads of
the same number of single strands broken individually.
Elongation is an indication of the ability
of yarn to absorb energy. If it is too low, weaving becomes difficult or even impossible but lowelongation yarns or cords have greater dimensional stability and are desirable as reinforcement
for plastic products, hoses, tyres, etc.
In reporting the result of a test made in accordance with this standard, if the final value, observed
or calculated, is to be rounded off, it shall be done in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 Rules for
rounding off numerical values (revised).

Review of Indian Standards
Amendments are issued to standards as the need arises on the basis of comments. Standards are also reviewed
periodically; a standard along with amendments is reaffirmed when such review indicates that no changes are
needed; if the review indicates that changes are needed, it is taken up for revision. Users of Indian Standards
should aScertain that they are in possession of the latest amendments or edition by referring to the latest issue
of BIS Handbook and Standards Monthly Additions.
This Indian Standard has been developed from Dot: No. TXD 1 ( 2655 )
