* One time initial testing to be performed at the beginning of the production contract only.

1/ Three (3) specimens in each direction per sample unit.

2/ Drying Time Test Method (see below test method and procedure).

3/ AATCC Standard Reference Detergent (non-phosphate) without optical brighteners shall be used.

4/ Evaluate using AATCC EP 1, gray scale for color change.

5/ Evaluate using AATCC EP 2, gray scale for staining.

Dry Time Test Specimens

1. Fabric samples and blotting paper should be conditioned at 65% RH (±2%) and 21°C (±1°C)

(70°F (±2°F)) for a minimum of four (4) hours before testing.

2. Test three (3) specimens from each sample. Each specimen consists of a 2" 2" piece cut wearing gloves. The long dimension should be cut parallel to warp direction. Mark each specimen for identification as a part of the sample set.

Dry Time Test Procedure

3. Weigh the conditioned sample using a laboratory balance, accurate to the 0.1 g.

4. Place 100 mls of distilled or reverse osmosis water into a 250 ml beaker.

5. Submerge one (1) specimen in the beaker for 30 minutes. Make certain that the specimen is completely submerged under the water to insure complete wetting.

6. Remove from the specimen and sandwich it between two (2) pieces of unused blotter paper and pass it through the wringer. Leave the piece sandwiched in the wet blotters. Repeat this process for the remaining two (2) specimens of the same sample.

7. Weigh the blotted specimens one (1) at a time.

8. Record the weight as wet weight.

9. Hang each sample separately to dry in a location that is in conditions of 65% RH (± 2%) and

21°C (± 1°C) (70°F (± 2°F)).

10. Weigh the sample to the nearest 0.1 g every five (5) minutes recording each weight, until completely dry.

11. This is repeated until all the specimens return to their original dry weight. At this time the overall drying time is calculated by averaging the dry time of all three (3) specimens, if they do not dry at the same time.

Notes:

The wringer, household laundry type, should be equipped with soft rubber squeeze rolls 5.1–6.4 cm in diameter and 28.0–30.5cm in length, with a hardness of 70–80 when measured using the A

Scale of a Shore Durometer. The wringer should be so constructed that the pressure on the top of the piece of fabric is maintained by a dead weight or lever system such that the total pressure

(resulting from the total of the dead weight or lever system and the weight of the roller) is 27.2(±

0.5) kg. It should be power-driven at a constant rate so that the piece of fabric passes through the rolls at a rate of 2.5 cm/s. Also suitable is the Atlas Motorized Laboratory Wringer available from

SDL Atlas L.L.C., 3934 Airway Drive, Rock Hill, SC., 29732 or http://www.sdlatlas.com/

The diameters of the squeeze rolls should be determined with a pair of calipers or directly with a suitable micrometer. Measurements should be made at five (5) different places along the length of each roll, and the average of these measurements will be used as the diameter of the roll.

The load applied by the dead weight or lever system should be measured using a spring scale or balance, and suspending the top roll of the wringer from the scale by means of two (2) tapes of equal length. The tapes should be placed between the rolls near their ends and should be provided with a means of holding them sufficiently far apart so that there is no contact between the tapes and the top structural member of the wringer and loading system. The spring scale or balance should be suspended from a suitable rigid support and provided with a turnbuckle or other device for adjusting the height of the scale. The usual precautions concerning the zero correction of spring scales should be observed. The turnbuckle or other device should then be adjusted to place the weight of the top roll and it’s weighting system on the spring scale or balance, and the system should be considered to be in equilibrium when the top roll of the wringer had been lifted just sufficiently from the bottom roll to permit vision between the bottoms of the tapes and the top of the bottom roll. At this point, the dead weight on the loading system should be adjusted until the spring scale or balance indicates a load of 27.7(± 0.5) kg. The calibration of the spring scale or balance should be certified by the use of known certified dead weights of 24.95, 27.22 and 29.48 (± 0.23) kg total weight. The spring scale should be accurate at each of the three (3) verification loads

(±0.2268 kg).

The linear speed of the rolls should be measured by feeding a thin steel tape through the rolls. The steel tapes should be at least 150 cm long and should be accurate to within 3 mm per 150 cm. The time required for exactly 150 cm of this tape to pass through the nip of the rolls should be measured in s to the nearest second with a stopwatch calibrated in intervals of not more than 0.5 second. The speed of the rolls should be adjusted until the time required for 150 cm of tape to pass through the nip of the roll is 60 (± 2) seconds.

Blotters suitable for this test can be obtained from AATCC, P.O. Box 12215, Research Triangle

Park, NC 27709-2215 or http://www.aatcc.org.

Should it be necessary to run only one (1) specimen, a specimen of similar material with respect to weight should be run as ballast with the specimen undergoing test.

4.6 In-process inspection. Inspection shall be made at any point or during any phase of the manufacturing process to determine whether construction details that cannot be examined in the finished product are in accordance with specified requirements. This inspection shall include verification that the working patterns conform to the Government patterns. Whenever nonconformance is noted, corrections shall be made to the affected items and lot in-process.

Items that cannot be corrected shall be removed from production.
