Описание (английский):

This document specifies a method for the determination of the number of tufts and/or loops per unit length and per unit area of a textile floor covering. It is applicable to textile floor coverings with the pile of which consists of tufts and/or loops.

Abstract

Overview

Key Topics

Scope and Applicability ISO 1763:2020 is relevant to textile floor coverings with pile formed by tufts or loops, including woven and machine-made carpets and artificial turf.
Definitions
- Tuft: A J-shaped, U-shaped, or W-shaped length of yarn forming the pile of the carpet.
- Loop: Length of pile-forming yarn between two successive fixation points in carpet backing.
Measurement Principle The standard requires counting the tufts and/or loops over a minimum length of 100 mm, ensuring at least 41 complete tufts or loops are included. Measurements are taken both parallel and perpendicular to the carpet’s selvedge (edge).
Apparatus and Conditioning Use of a metric ruler and conditioning of test specimens in controlled temperature and humidity conditions (20 ± 2 °C, 65 ± 4% RH) to ensure accurate and consistent measurements.
Test Specimen Selection Four representative areas should be selected from a sample, each with edges containing at least 41 tufts or loops, avoiding borders within 100 mm of the specimen edges.
Counting Procedure Counting involves measuring the distance covered by the tufts/loops and calculating their density per unit length (both longitudinally and transversely). For non-uniform or hard-to-count carpets, pile shearing before counting is permitted. For artificial turf, counts are performed on the backside, focusing on backing and tuft rows.
Expression of Results The standard provides formulae to calculate the number of tufts/loops per unit length (S and G) and per unit area (e.g., per 10,000 mm² or 0.01 m²). Values should be reported with an accuracy of one decimal place.
Test Reporting Requirements Reports must include confirmation of adherence to ISO 1763, measured values, tuft types, construction forms if non-uniform, and any special observations relevant to the product.

Applications

Quality Control in Carpet Manufacturing Measuring tuft and loop density helps manufacturers ensure consistent pile construction, durability, and aesthetic quality for textile floor coverings.
Artificial Turf Specification The inclusion of a specific method for artificial turf supports manufacturers and installers in verifying tuft density, influencing performance characteristics such as cushioning and wear resistance.
Product Development and Research Accurate tuft and loop counts facilitate comparative analysis between different carpet designs and materials, assisting in innovation and product improvement.
Compliance and Certification Textile testing laboratories and certification bodies utilize ISO 1763 to verify product specifications for regulatory compliance and customer assurance.
