ISO 10132-1993 PDF

Full title and description

ISO 10132:1993 — Textiles — Textured filament yarn — Definitions. This International Standard establishes a concise set of terms and definitions used to describe characteristics of textured filament yarns for use in specification, testing and reporting.

Abstract

ISO 10132:1993 defines 14 terms related to the physical and functional characteristics of textured filament yarns (for example: bulk, crimp, crimp recovery, shrinkage, twist liveliness, etc.), providing a standardized vocabulary to ensure consistent communication between manufacturers, testing laboratories and specifiers.

Scope

ISO 10132:1993 provides definitions of the principal terms used to describe textured filament yarns. It is limited to vocabulary — it does not specify test methods or acceptance criteria, but ensures uniform use of terminology in documents, specifications and test reports concerning textured filament yarns.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized definitions for 14 characteristics of textured filament yarns, including: bulk (voluminosity), covering power, crimp (and crimp-related measures such as crimp contraction, crimp elongation, crimp frequency), crimp liveliness and recovery, crimp rigidity and stability, latent crimp, percentage crimp, shrinkage, and twist liveliness.
• Vocabulary-only standard: intended to harmonize terminology used in testing, specification and communication across the textile supply chain.

Typical use and users

Used by textile manufacturers, yarn producers, fabric designers, testing and quality-control laboratories, standards bodies and procurement/specification teams to ensure consistent language when specifying textured filament yarn performance and when reporting test results. It supports clearer contracts, test reports and technical literature.

Related standards

Related work is produced by ISO/TC 38 (Textiles) and its subcommittees on yarns and testing; ISO 10132 is part of ISO vocabulary and textiles outputs and is typically referenced alongside other ISO textile standards that define test methods, specifications and terminology for yarns and fibres.
