This test method covers the quantifying of fibrous debris released and generated from fabrics.

This test method is being withdrawn with no replacement because D13 no longer has the technical expertise to maintain.

Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D13 on Textiles, this test method was withdrawn in October 2008.

1.1 This test method covers the quantifying of fibrous debris released and generated from fabrics.

1.2 This test method applies to all fabrics used as wiping materials for purposes, such as house-cleaning, cleaning, cleanrooms, spill clean-up or removal, industrial wipes, shop towels, polishing cloths, etc.

1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as the standard. Within the text, the inch-pound units are shown in parentheses. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.

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.
