ASTM D3882-99(2006)

1.1 This test method covers the determination of bow and skew of filling yarns in woven fabrics and the courses in knitted fabrics.

1.2 This test method can also be used to measure the bow and skew of printed geometric designs such as plaids.

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 may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with this test method.

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.
