Iso 2060 1994

This document provides standards for determining the linear density of yarn by the skein method. It specifies procedures for conditioning and preparing yarn samples and forming them into skeins. Linear density is expressed as mass per unit length in tex or other units. The standard is applicable to various yarn types but not those that stretch more than 0.5% during testing or those with linear densities over 2,000 tex. It defines key terms and references other relevant ISO standards.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are


circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
