Scope

This British Standard describes a method for determiation of yarn slippage in woven fabrics at stitched seams. The method is particularly applicable to apparel fabrics, but it is not intended for industrial fabrics, e.g. beltings. Tests are normally made with a seam opening of 6 mm, but provision is made for a very small seam opening of 3 mm which would produce an unsatisfactory appearance on certain fabrics, e.g. fabrics with warp and weft of contrasting colours.
