1.1 These test methods cover the measurement of fabric mass per unit area (weight) and is applicable to most fabrics.

1.2 There are four approved options:

1.2.1 Option AFull Piece, Roll, Bolt or Cut (Section 7).

1.2.2 Option BFull Width Sample (Section 8).

1.2.3 Option CSmall Swatch of Fabric (Section 9).

1.2.4 Option DNarrow Fabrics (Section 10).

1.3 The values either in SI units or U.S. customary units are regarded as standard. U.S. customary units may be approximate.

1.4 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.

These test methods cover the measurement of fabric mass per unit area (weight) and is applicable to most fabrics. There are four approved options in the measurement of fabric mass per unit area: Option A, Option B, Option C, and Option D. Option A may be used for acceptance testing of commercial shipments since it has been used extensively in the trade. The second option is Option B which is applicable to a full-width sample cut from a full piece, roll, bolt, or cut. Unless otherwise specified, these results will include selvages and will be on the basis of conditioned fabric. Option C on the other hand is applicable when a small swatch of fabric is sent to the laboratory to be used as the test specimen. The results are considered to be applicable to the sample only and not necessarily to the lot from which the sample was taken. Measurements by this method do not include selvages and should be reported as such, unless a selvage allowance is specified. The last option is Option D which is intended for use with narrow fabrics as so designated by the trade.
