Textilien - Bestimmung der Dicke von Textilien und textilen Erzeugnissen (ISO 5084:1996)

Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Dicke von Textilien und Textilerzeugnissen unter festgelegtem Druck fest. Sie gilt nicht für textile Bodenbeläge, Vliesstoffe, Geotextilien und beschichtete Textilien, für die eigene Normen bestehen (siehe Anhang B).

Textiles - Détermination de l'épaisseur des textiles et produits textiles (ISO 5084:1996)

La présente Norme internationale prescrit une méthode pour la détermination de l'épaisseur, sous une pression définie, des textiles et produits textiles. Elle n'est pas applicable aux revêtements de sol textiles, aux nontissés, aux géotextiles et aux supports textiles revêtus pour lesquels il existe des normes spécifiques (voir annexe B).

Overview

EN ISO 5084:1996 - Textiles: Determination of thickness of textiles and textile products (ISO 5084:1996) specifies a laboratory method to measure the thickness of textile materials under a defined pressure. Published as a CEN-adopted ISO method (second edition, 1996), it replaces the first edition and defines apparatus, conditioning, sampling and test procedure for repeatable textile thickness measurement. The standard is not applicable to textile floor coverings, nonwovens, geotextiles or coated fabrics (see Annex B for alternatives).

Key topics and technical requirements

• Principle: Thickness = perpendicular distance between a reference plate and a parallel circular presser-foot under a specified pressure.
• Conditioning: Samples must be conditioned in the standard atmosphere for textiles (ISO 139) before testing.
• Apparatus: Requirements include a thickness tester with
  • interchangeable presser-feet (recommended area 2000 ± 20 mm² - circular presser-foot diameter 50.5 ± 0.2 mm),
  • reference plate (plane surface, diameter ≥ presser-foot + 50 mm),
  • thickness gauge capable of 0.01 mm accuracy,
  • means to apply and maintain specified pressures.
• Applied pressure: Recommended pressure is (1 ± 0.01) kPa; an alternative lower pressure (0.1 ± 0.001) kPa may be used for raised-pile or loop fabrics.
• Test procedure:
  • Clean and zero the tester; place specimen relaxed and free of creases.
  • Lower presser-foot and read thickness after (30 ± 5) s.
  • Take at least five measurements on a sample or five specimens.
• Results and reporting:
  • Report arithmetic mean to 0.01 mm, coefficient of variation (%) and 95% confidence limits (to 0.01 mm).
  • Test report must state the standard reference, fabric description, presser-foot area used, applied pressure, number of tests and any deviations from the procedure.
• Annexes:
  • Annex A (normative) covers test area positions and alternative presser-foot areas for narrow or sensitive fabrics.
  • Annex B (informative) lists related standards (e.g., ISO 1765, ISO 9073-2, ISO 9863).

Applications and practical value

• Ensures consistent, repeatable measurement of fabric thickness for quality control, specification compliance and material comparison.
• Used in:
  • textile manufacturing QA/QC,
  • laboratory testing and certification,
  • product development and material selection,
  • compliance testing for apparel, technical textiles (except listed exclusions).
• Useful for determining thickness parameters that affect insulation, drape, compressibility, layering, and end-use performance.

Who should use this standard

• Textile test laboratories, manufacturers, R&D and quality engineers, suppliers and specifiers who require a standardized method for thickness measurement and reporting.

Related standards

• ISO 139 - standard atmosphere for conditioning and testing
• ISO 1765, ISO 9073-2, ISO 9863 - referenced for floor coverings, nonwovens and geotextiles respectively

Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
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. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
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.
International Standard IS0 5084 was prepared by Technical Committee
I SO/TC 38, Textiles.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition
(IS0 5084:1977), which has been technically revised.
Annex A forms an integral part of this International Standard. Annex B is
for information only.
