FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the drafl finalized bythe Wool and Wool Products Including Floor Coverings Sectional Committee had been approved by the TextileDivision Council.
This standard was first published in 1987. This revision has been taken up to update the standard on the basisof experience gained during its use to cover the following major changes:
a) Keeping in view the similarity in requirements and end use, IS 12132 : 1987 ‘Specification for polyesterwool blended worsted suitings’ has been amalgamated with this standard. Accordingly, the title of thisstandard has been modified to cover polyester wool blended worsted suitings also.
b) Sampling and criteria for conformity have been modified.
The composition of the Committee responsible for formulation of this standard is given in Annex C.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the fhal value,observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with1S2:1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of significant places retained in therounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

METHODS FOR DETERMINATION OF RELAXATION SHRINKAGE
B-1 Prior to testing, the specimens are conditionedto moisture equilibrium in a standard atmosphereat 65 + 2 percent relative humidity and 27 + 2°Ctemperature (see IS 6359).
B-2 Draw one square test specimen measuringapproximately 900 mm x 400 mm and indicate warpdirection by cutting a ‘V’ mark on one side of thewarp edge.
B-3 Mark this piece with the help of a transparenttemplate which enables 250 mm apart marking andmark four such points in the warp as well as weftdirection as shown in Fig. 1. Stitch a piece of threadof contrast colour at the marked points with a needleto make a permanent marking. The marking may bedone by an indelible marking pen.
B-4 Lay the test specimen flat in a shallow tray ofsize 1000 mm x 1000 mm x 40 mm and soak for 2 hin water weighing twenty times its own weight andleave it undisturbed for 2 h. In case of difficulty inwetting, a small quantity of non-ionic wetting agentmay be used.
B-5 After 2 h take out the test specimen and removeexcess water from it by blotting it gently with a Turkish
towel or blotting paper. Lay the test specimen flatwithout wringing and allow to dry completely underatmospheric conditions. Afier drying, the distancebetween each pair of points is measured accuratelyafler keeping the transparent template over the fabric,taking care not to stretch or distort the fhbric whilemeasuring. Calculate the percentage shrinkage for eachpair of points in both warp and weft directions asfollows:
Relaxation shrinkage, R, for every pair is given by:
100 (L. – L,)R.
LOwhere
LO= distance between pair of marks before treatment(that is 250 mm), and
L,= distance between pair of marks after treatment.
B-6 The average of the warp way shrinkagepercentages and the coverage of the weft wayshrinkage percentages as obtained in B-5 shall berounded off to the nearest 0.1 percent and shall bereported as warp way and weft way relaxationshriiage (in percentage) of the fabric in the lot.
