ASTM D123-23 pdf free download – Standard Terminology Relating To Textiles.
This standard is the compilation of all terminology developed by Committee D13 on Textiles.
1.1 The terminology in this standard consists mostly of definitions, which are specific to the textile industry. For terms used outside the textile industry, their meanings can be found in other compilations or general usage dictionaries.
1.2 The subcommittee responsible for every item within the Committee D13 on Textiles has jurisdiction over a specific area. The first attribution noted after the definition indicates the subcommittee’s name and its corresponding standard for that term. Changes to an entry must be approved by the subcommittee with jurisdiction over it. Users should also review the subcommittee’s standard for more details or interpretations of these terms and their use in that subcommittee’s area of responsibility.
1.3 In addition to being a specialized dictionary, Terminology D123 serves as a tool for managing the committee’s terminology. This includes identifying, eliminating, and preventing redundancies, where two or more terms relating to the same concept are defined in different words. Redundancies can also occur when one definition is used for two or more terms.
1.4 While the review for clarity and form is the responsibility of the terminology subcommittee, managing terminology is a broad responsibility for every writer of standards, specifically the task group leader and subcommittee chairman.
1.5 Following a listing of specific subcommittee compilations, this standard is composed of the following sections listed in order:
1.5.1 Alphabetical listing of terms with definitions followed by SC attribution in brackets and SC terminology standard.
