ASTM D 123 Document Information:
Title
Standard Terminology Relating to Textiles
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Jul 1, 2007
Scope:
This standard is the compilation of all terminology developed by
Committee D-13 on Textiles.
This terminology, consists mostly of definitions, which are
specific to the textile industry. Meanings of the same terms used
outside the textile industry can be found in other compilations or
in dictionaries of general usage.
The specific D13 subcommittee which has jurisdictional
responsibility for every item is the first attribution noted after
the definition. The standards in which the terms and definitions
appear are listed by number after the jurisdiction for the term.
The wording of an entry cannot be changed without the approval of
the subcommittee which has jurisdiction and subcommittee D13.92 on
Terminology. See 1.2, 1.3, 1.4.
In addition to being a specialized dictionary, Terminology D 123
is also a tool for managing the committee's terminology. This
includes finding, eliminating, and preventing redundancies, that
is, where two or more terms relating the same concept are defined
in different words. Redundancies can also occur when one definition
is used for two or more terms.
While the review for clarity and form are the responsibility of
the terminology subcommittee, the concept of managing terminology
is the broad responsibility of every writer of standards,
specifically the task group leader and subcommittee chairman.
Subsequent to a listing of specific subcommittee compilations,
this standard is comprised of the following sections that are
listed in the order in which they appear.
Alphabetical listing of terms and respective definitions.
