1.1 This standard prescribes a method for determination of crimp and count of yarn removed from any textile fabric in which yarns are intact and can be removed in measurable lengths. In case the fabric contains plied or cabled yarn, the method is applicable for determination of its resultant count.
1.2 The count of yarn determined by this method may not, however, be expected to agree with the count of grey yarn used for weaving the fabric because of the changes brought about in the yarn count by the processing treatments as well as the treatments prescribed in this standard for removal of the added matter.
1.3 This standard is not suitable for those yarns removed from fabrics where considerable waviness remains after application of stipulated tension.
