ASTM D1516-05(2017)
(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Width of Leather
Standard Test Method for Width of Leather
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
3.1 This test method is designed to measure the width of specimens before and after they are subjected to various tests which may change the width. A test procedure wherein such measurements could be used is the change in area of square pieces when measuring the resistance of leather to synthetic perspiration solution.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers determination of the width of physical test specimens and of regularly shaped units and pieces of all types of leather. This test method does not apply to wet blue.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

3. Significance and Use
3.1 This test method is designed to measure the width of specimens before and after they are subjected to various tests which
may change the width. A test procedure wherein such measurements could be used is the change in area of square pieces when
measuring the resistance of leather to synthetic perspiration solution.

4.1 Steel Scale, graduated to 0.02 in. (0.5 mm).
4.2 Steel Tape, graduated to ⁄16 in. or in millimetres.
5. Specimen
5.1 The specimen shall be the prepared test specimen, unit, or piece. It shall be conditioned for 48 h in an atmosphere
maintained at 73.4 6 1.8°F (23 6 1°C) and 50 6 4 % relative humidity and tested under these conditions. See Practice D1610.
6. Procedure
6.1 Test Specimens—Place the specimen on a flat surface and flatten it out without pulling or stretching. Measure the width to
the nearest 0.02 in. (0.5 mm) at the locations designated in the test method for making the particular test for which the specimen
was prepared.
This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D31 on Leather and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D31.07 on Physical Properties This test
method has been developed in cooperation with the American Leather Chemists Assn. (Standard Method E5-1961).
