Indian Standard
METHODS OF TEST FOR
COATED AND TREATED FABRICS
PART I DETERMINATION OF ROLL CHARACTERISTICS

( First Revision )

0. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part I ) ( First Revision ) was adopted by the
Indian Standards Institution on 28 March 1982, after the draft finalized
by the Treated Fabrics Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Petroleum, Coal and Related Products Division Council.

0.2 This standard was published in 1973 and is being revised to

incorporate the changes considered necessary as a result of experience
gained in the implementation of this standard during this period.

0.3 Coated and treated fabrics are normally sold in the roll form. It,
therefore, becomes essential to find out the correct length, width and
thickness of the rolls of fabric before accepting the supply. Further, the
mass per unit area of the coated and treated fabric, base fabric and of the
coating are important requirements of contract for such fabrics.
Determination of all these characteristics are collectively called the roll
characteristics.

0.4 This standard is mainly based on IS0 2286-1972 ‘Fabrics coated with
rubber or plastics - Determination of roll characteristics’, issued by
International Organization for Standardization.

0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of

this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance
with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in
this standard.

\ *Rules for roundingoff numerical values ( reuisrd).

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard ( Part I ) describes the methods for determining the
length, width, net mass, mass per unit area, and thickness of rolls of coated
and treated fabrics, with the exception of knitted type fabrics.
NOTE - It should be noted that the roll cannot normally be conditioned in a
standard atmosphere and, therefore, the results may be influenced by variation of
moisture due to changes in atmospheric conditions.

2. DETERMINATION OF THE LENGTH OF A ROLL

2.1 General Method

2.1.1 Aj$z,arabus
-Flat table, not less than 5 m long, and at least as
wide as the roll to be tested. Both longitudinal edges of the table should
be marked off in 1 m lengths, at least one of these lengths being subdivided
into 10 mm divisions.
2.1.2 Procedure -Trim the cut end of roll, if necessary, so that it is at
right angles to the warp (longitudinal) direction of the roll, such trimming
being confined to the minimum which is necessary to effect this. With the
cut end of the roll aligned with the zero mark on the table, unroll the
material along the table so that no tension is introduced. On reaching the
limit of the table, mark the back of the roll by some suitable method on
both edges to coincide with a known division of length. Reroll the portion
that has been measured. Lay out, free from tension, a further portion of
the unmeasured length and measure from the marked edges, as before.
Repeat this process until the end of the roll is reached, trimming this, if
necessary, as before. Measure the final length to the nearest 50 mm.
2.1.3 Epression of Results - Report the length of the roll, in metres, as
the sum of all the readings, adjusted to the nearest 50 mm.

2.2 Drum Method

2.2.1 Procedure -Run the coated fabric over a measuring drum with
just enough uniform tension to keep it running flat and true. Determine
the length from the dial or counter on the drum. Report the length ofthe
roll in metres, adjusted to the nearest 50 mm.

3. DETERMINATION OF TIiE WIDTH OF A ROLL

3.1 Apparatus
3.1.1 Flat Table - not less than 2 m long, and at least 50 mm wider
than the width of the roll to be tested.
3.1.2 Steel Scale - length shall be greater thaxi the width of the roll to
be measured, graduated in centimetres and millimetres.
.9 1

 IS : 7016 ( Part I ) - 1982

3.2 Procedure - &roll the material along the table so that it is laid
out smoothly without tension in either direction. In case of fabrics coated
on one side, the coated side shall be kept upwards. Record to the
nearest 5 mm at least five different measurements of width uniformly
distributed along the full length of the roll or piece.

3.3 Expression of Results - Calculate the mean of the recorded widths

adjusted to nearest 5 mm and report the value obtained as the average
usable width. Report also the minimum usable width recorded.

4. DETERMINATION OF THE NET MASS AND MASS PER

UNIT AREA OF ROLL OR SAMP-LE

4.1 Determination of the Net Mass and Mass Per Unit Area of a
Roll

4.1.1 Apparatus - Weighing device, with a calibrated scale, accurate at

full scale deflection to 0.10 percent.

4.1.2 Procedure - Place the roll of material centrally on the pan or other
supporting arrangement of the weighing device. Ensure that the roll and
its support are free of contact with other bodies. Determine and record
the gross mass. Determine and record the mass of the tube or former
upon which the material has been rolled, and deduct this from the gross
mass. Record the value thus obtained as the net mass. Determine
the length and width of the rollin accordance with the procedure given
in 2 and 3, and calculate the mass per unit area in grams per square
metre to the nearest 5 g/m”.

4.1.3 Exfiression of Results - The net mass should be expressed in kilo-

grams to the nearest 0’10 kg. The mass per unit area should be expressed
in grams per square metre to the nearest 5 g/m*.

4.2 Determination of the Mass Per Unit Area of a Sample

4.2.1 Test Piece - The test piece shall be square, rectangular or circular
inform, and have an area of 10 000 -J= 100 mm2.

4.2.2 Procedure
4.2.2.1 Cut from the sample three test pieces, one from the centre,
and the other two symmetrical with the first, in such a manner that
their external edge is between 50 and 150 mm from the selvedge of the
sample taken along a line which makes an angle of 45” with the length
of the roll. Designate these test pieces A, B and C respectively.
4.2.2.2 Conditioning- Condition the test pieces at 27 -& 2°C and
65 f 5 percent relative humidity for 48 hours prior to testing. Subject

5
IS : 3016 ( Part I ) - 1982

to agreement between the purchaser and the supplier, the conditioning

time may be curtailed to 24 hours. For all test purposes, the minimum
time between vulcanization or curing and testing shall be 16 hours.
Whenever possible, the time between vulcanization or curing and testing
should not exceed three months. In other cases, tests shall be made
within two months of the date of receipt by the customer of the product.
4.2.2.3 Weigh the test pieces to the nearest 0.005 g, and calculate the
mass per unit area in grams per square metre.

4.2.3 Expression of Results - The mass per unit area should be expressed
as the average of the calculated values in grams per square metre,
adjusted to nearest 5 g/m2.
NOTIC- The procedure given in 4.2.2 is intended for use when a small sample is
sent to the laboratory for test. The result is considered applicable to the sample
but not to the piece or lot of goods from which the sample was taken, unless the
number of samples and methods are agreed by those concerned. If this is done, each
sample should be tested in accordance with the procedure given in 4.2.2 and the
results averaged to obtain the average mass per unit area in grams per square metre

4.3 Determination of the Mass Per Unit Area of the Base Fabric

4.3.1 Apflaratus

4.3.1.1 Balance - accurate to 0.005 g.

4.3.1.2 Flask - 500 ml capacity, fitted with a reflux condenser.
4.3.1.3 Water-bath

4.3.1.4 Oven -with natural air circulation.

4.3.2 Test Piece - The test piece shall be a square or rectangIe, having
an area of 10 000 f 100 mm2.

4.3.3 Procedure

4.3.3.1 Cut from the sample three test pieces, one from the centre,
and the other two, symmetrical with the first, in such a manner that their
external edge is ~between 50 land 150 mm from the selvedge of the sample
taken along a line which makes an angle of 45” with the length of theroll.
Designate these test pieces, A, B and C respectively. Immerse each test
piece separately in 150 ml of an appropriate solvent or- swelling agent.
Decant and remove where possible the bulk of the coating from the base
fabric. In case extraction is no~t sufficient, refluxing for 30 minutes may
be done. Immerse again for 30 minutes, using fresh solvent, and decant.
Thereafter, immerse the fabric and any loose threads in 150 ml of solvent,
with occasional agitation for 30 minutes at room temperature. Remove
the stripped test pieces, together with any loose threads, from the solvent

c
 &; y&t+?
tT*

IS : 7016 ( Part I ) - 1982

and wash them in 100 ml of acetone. Dry the test pieces for one hour at
a temperature of approximately 100°C.
4.3.3.2 Condition the stripped test pieces for 24 hours at 27 + 2°C
and 65 &- 5 percent relative humidity, and weigh to the nearest 0’005 g.

4.3.3.3 Wash the stripped test pieces with a further quantity of the
appropriate solvent in the manner indicated, wash in acetone, dry and
condition and weigh them, as before. If the second weighing differs from
the first by more than 1 percent, repeat the solvent treatment until the
difference is less than 1 percent. IJse the final mass for calculating the
mass per unit area of the fabric.

4.3.4 Expression of Results - The mass per unit area of the fabric shall
be expressed as the mean value obtained from the three results in grams
per square metre to the nearest 5 g/ms.
NOTE 1 -The method is not valid for fabrics which are soluble in the solvent
used for the test.
NOTE 2 -The mass of the fabric after removing the coating may be different
from that of the original fabric.

4.4 Determination of the Mass Per Unit Area of the Coating

4.4.1 Procedure - It is expedient to consider the mass per unit area of

the coating as the difference between the mass per unit area of the coated
fabric and the mass per unit area of the base fabric. From the mass per
unit area of the coated fabric ( determined according to 4.2) subtract
the mass per unit area of the base fabric for the corresponding test piece
( determined according to 4.3 ).
4.4.2 Exxpression of Results - The mass per unit area of the coating shall
be expressed in grams per square metre as the mean of the three values
found in accordance with the procedure given in 4.4.1.

5. DETERMINATION OF THICKNESS

5.1 Apparatus

5.1.1 Gauge- The gauge shall be of dead weight type, equipped with
a dial graduated to read directly to 0*02 mm. The presser foot should
be circular having a diameter of 9.5 f 0.02 mm or 50 f 0.05 mm. The
presser foot and connected moving parts shall be loaded to give the
pressure according to the category of articles being measured. The
presser foot and anvil surfaces shall be plane to within 0.002 mm, and
parallel to one another to within O-002 mm. The gauge shall be
calibrated for the actual load exerted by the presser foot by means of any
device so arranged to measure the total force exerted by the presser
foot at the several gauge readings or presser foot levels selected for

calibration. The presser foot shall be brought to each calibration level

from a higher one:

Pressure

a) Ordinary articles 24 kN/m”*

b) Articles sensitive 10 kN/m2*
to pressure

5.2 Procedure

5.2.1 Measure the thickness on an oblique line drawn at an angle of 45”

to the length of the roil preferably at a distance of about 1 m from the
end of the roll. On this line, make five evenly distributed measurements,
the first being taken at a position between 50 and 150 mm from the
selvedge.

5.2.2 Place the coated fabric on the anvil of the gauge, smoothen it but
without tension. Lower the presser foot into the material ( without
impact ), allow it to rest for 10 seconds, and observe and record the
reading of the dial. I

5.3 Expression of Results - Express the results in millirnetres. The

mean linear thickness in millimetres is the artihmetric mean of the five
measured values on the same oblique line.

ll kgf/cm* = 9&07 kN/m*.
