Textile glass - Textured yarns - Basis for a specification

ISO 8516:2011 provides a basis for a specification applicable to textured yarns made from single or folded yarns of textile glass. Textured glass yarns can be produced by several types of process. They can be made starting either from a single strand or from two or more strands in which one or more have been "opened" to give the "bulky" aspect of textured yarn. Textured glass yarn is used in various applications, for example insulation, filtration, the manufacture of decorative textiles, the reinforcement of plastics and the manufacture of packing materials.

Verre textile — Fils texturés — Base de spécification

L'ISO 8516:2011 définit une base de spécification applicable aux fils texturés réalisés à partir de fils simples ou retors en verre textile. Les fils texturés en verre textile peuvent être réalisés selon divers procédés. Ils peuvent être obtenus soit à partir d'un seul fil, soit à partir de deux fils ou plus dont l'un ou tous ont été «ouverts» afin de donner au fil texturé son aspect «volumineux». Les fils texturés en verre textile sont utilisés dans des applications diverses, notamment l'isolation, la filtration, les textiles décoratifs, le renforcement des plastiques et la fabrication de matériaux d'emballage.

Overview

ISO 8516:2011 is an international standard that establishes the basis for specifications for textured yarns made from textile glass. Textured glass yarns, produced from single or folded yarns, are created through various processes that give the yarn a bulky, textured appearance. This standard defines key characteristics, testing methods, and quality criteria essential for manufacturers, suppliers, and users in industries utilizing textile glass textured yarns. Applications include insulation, filtration, decorative textiles, reinforcement of plastics, and packaging materials, making ISO 8516:2011 crucial for quality assurance and specification development in these sectors.

Key Topics

  • Scope of Application: Defines textured yarns from single or multiple glass strands with a "bulky" texture, specifying the processes and materials used.
  • Designation: Yarn identification must comply with ISO 2078 for consistent naming conventions.
  • Physical Properties: Detailed requirements cover:
    • Type of glass used in the yarn (referencing ISO 2078).
    • Size content for lubrication during texturizing, measurable via ISO 1887.
    • Average filament diameter (ISO 1888).
    • Linear density of the yarn, determined per ISO 1889.
    • Moisture content assessed using ISO 3344.
    • Breaking load and yield strength tested according to ISO 3341.
  • Visual Quality and Defects: Specification includes acceptable visual criteria and defect classifications of yarn and packages, such as:
    • Dirty or damaged yarn.
    • Incorrect number or mixed yarns.
    • Incomplete texturization.
    • Package issues like hardness, trapped foreign matter, or incorrect identification.
  • Delivery Requirements: Packaging and labelling must feature essential information such as yarn designation, package type, net mass, supplier name, and manufacturing date.
  • Storage Conditions: Recommendations for temperature, humidity, and duration to maintain yarn property integrity over time.

Applications

ISO 8516:2011 textured glass yarns are widely applied in industries including:

  • Thermal Insulation: Due to glass yarn’s heat-resistant and lightweight attributes, providing enhanced performance in construction materials.
  • Filtration Systems: Textured yarn structure improves filtration efficiency across various industrial and environmental applications.
  • Decorative Textiles: Offers aesthetic and functional benefits in fabric manufacturing for upholstery and artistic textiles.
  • Plastic Reinforcement: Enhances mechanical strength and durability of composite plastics in automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods.
  • Packing Materials: Used for strength and protection in packaging solutions for fragile and heavy goods.

By adhering to ISO 8516:2011, manufacturers and users ensure product consistency, meet safety and performance standards, and facilitate global trade and quality control.

Related Standards

ISO 8516:2011 refers to and complements several other key standards essential for textile glass yarn specification and testing:

  • ISO 2078 – Textile glass yarn designation.
  • ISO 1887 – Determination of combustible matter content in textile glass.
  • ISO 1888 – Measurement of average filament diameter for textile glass staple fibers.
  • ISO 1889 – Determination of linear density of reinforcement yarns.
  • ISO 3341 – Testing breaking force and elongation of textile glass yarns.
  • ISO 3344 – Measuring moisture content in reinforcement products.
  • ISO 472 – Plastics vocabulary providing relevant definitions for terms used.

Compliance with ISO 8516:2011 alongside these standards supports comprehensive quality control across all stages of textured glass yarn production, testing, delivery, and usage.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.
L'attention est appelée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l'objet de
droits de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L'ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne
