ASTM D4113-02(2008)
(Specification)Standard Performance Specification for Woven Slipcover Fabrics
Standard Performance Specification for Woven Slipcover Fabrics
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
Fabrics intended for this end-use should meet all of the requirements listed inTable 1 .
It should be recognized that fabrics can be produced with an almost infinite number of combination of construction variables (for example, type of fibers, percentage of fibers, yarn twist, yarn number, warp and pick count, chemical and mechanical finishes). Additionally, fashion or aesthetics dictate that the ultimate consumer may find acceptable articles made from fabrics that do not conform to all of the requirements in Table 1.
Hence, no single performance specification can possibly apply to all the various fabrics that could be utilized for this end-use.
The uses and significance of particular properties and test methods are discussed in the appropriate sections of the specified test methods.
SCOPE
1.1 This performance specification covers woven fabrics comprised of any textile fiber or mixture of fibers to be used in slipcovers.
1.2 These requirements apply to both the length and width directions for those properties where fabric direction is pertinent.
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.

3. Terminology
3.1 Definitions:
3.1.1 For definitions of textile terms used in this performance specification, refer to Terminology D 123 and the Technical
Manual of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists.
3.2 Definitions found in a dictionary of common terms are suitable for use in this performance specification.
4. Specification Requirements
4.1 The properties of woven fabrics for use in slipcovers shall conform to the specification requirements in Table 1.
5. Significance and Use
5.1Upon agreement between the purchaser and the supplier, fabrics intended for this end use should meet all of the requirements
listed in
5.1 Fabrics intended for this end-use should meet all of the requirements listed inTable 1 of this specification. .
5.2 It is recognized that for purposes of fashion or aesthetics the ultimate consumer of articles made from these fabrics may find
acceptable fabrics that do not conform to all of the requirements in It should be recognized that fabrics can be produced with an
almost infinite number of combination of construction variables (for example, type of fibers, percentage of fibers, yarn twist, yarn
number, warp and pick count, chemical and mechanical finishes). Additionally, fashion or aesthetics dictate that the ultimate
consumer may find acceptable articles made from fabrics that do not conform to all of the requirements in Table 1. Therefore, one
or more of the requirements listed in Table 1 may be modified upon agreement between the purchaser and the supplier.
5.2.1In such cases, any references to the specification shall specify that: “This fabric meetsASTM Specification D4113 except
for the following characteristic(s).”
5.3Where no prepurchase agreement has been reached between the purchaser and the supplier, and in case of controversy, the
requirements listed inTable 1 are intended to be used as a guide only.As noted in 5.2, ultimate consumer demands dictate varying
performance parameters for any particular style of fabric.
5.4The significance and use of particular properties and methods are discussed in the appropriate sections of the specified
methods.
6.Sampling
6.1Lot Sample—As a lot sample for acceptance testing, take at random the number of rolls as directed in an applicable
specification or other agreement between the purchaser and the supplier, such as an agreement to use MIL-STD-105D.
6.2Laboratory Sample—From each roll or piece in the lot sample, cut two laboratory samples the full width of the fabric and
at least 375 mm (15 in.) along the selvage.
7.
5.2.1 Hence, no single performance specification can possibly apply to all the various fabrics that could be utilized for this
end-use.
5.3 The uses and significance of particular properties and test methods are discussed in the appropriate sections of the specified
test methods.
6. Test Methods (see Note 1)
7.1)
6.1 Breaking Force— Determine the dry breaking force, in the standard atmosphere for testing textiles, as directed in Test
Method D 5034, using a constant rate of traverse (CRT) tensile-testing machine with the speed of the pulling clamp at 300 6 10
mm (12 6 0.5 in.)/min.
NOTE2—If preferred, the use of a constant-rate-of-extension (CRE) tensile-testing machine is permitted.The crosshead speed should be as agreed upon
between the purchaser and the supplier. There may be no overall correlation between the results obtained with the CRT machine and with the CRE
