FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized by the Textile Materials Made from Polyolefins (Excluding Cordage) Sectional Committee had
been approved by the Textile Division Council.
This standard originally published in 1973 was revised in 1984. r
The standard has been revised again to modi$ the mass and breaking load of the various varieties of
HDPE fabric in view of the availability of HDPE tapes of~superior tensile properties. Provision has been
made for supply of fabric having mass other than those specified in the standard subject to agreement
between the buyer and the seller.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final
value observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)‘. The number of significant places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

Review of Indian Standards
Amendments are issued to standards as the need arises on the basis of co&nents. Standards are also
reviewed periodically; a standard alohg with amendments is reaffirmed when such review indicates that
nochanges are needed; if the review indicates-that changes are needed, it is taken up for revision. Users
of Indian Standards should ascertain that they are in possession of the latest amendments or edition by
referring to the latest issue of ‘BIS Handbook’ and ‘Standards: Monthly Additions’.
This Indian Standard has been developed from Dot : No. T’x 23 (0069).
