This standard specifies the testing method for tensile property of man-made filament yarns like polyester (polyester fiber), polyamide (chinlon), polypropylene (polypropylene fiber) and cellulose fiber.
This standard is applicable to man-made filament yarns (pre-oriented yarn, fully drawn yarn and textured filament yarn), and may serve as reference for man-made filament yarn extracted from fabric.
This standard is not applicable to the filament yarn with elongation greater than 0.5% when the tension increasing from 0.05cN/dtex to 0.1cN/dtex.
