Standard Performance Specification for Woven Slipcover Fabrics

Abstract

5.1 Fabrics intended for this end-use should meet all of the requirements listed in Table 1. 5.2 It should be recognized that fabrics can be produced with an almost infinite number of combination of construction variables (for example, type of fibers, percentage of fibers, yarn twist, yarn number, warp and pick count, chemical and mechanical finishes). Additionally, fashion or aesthetics dictate that the ultimate consumer may find acceptable articles made from fabrics that do not conform to all of the requirements in Table 1. 5.2.1 Hence, no single performance specification can possibly apply to all the various fabrics that could be utilized for this end-use. 5.3 The uses and significance of particular properties and test methods are discussed in the appropriate sections of the specified test methods.
