The Standards Act 1965—Draft New Zealand Standard Specification Available for Comment

Number and Title of Specification
DZ 8719 Method for the measurement of the fibre length of scoured wool after carding. $11.00 (incl. GST)

This draft standard sets out a proposed method for determining the fibre length after carding and gilling of scoured wool using the Almeter system, the wool initially being in the form of grab samples taken mechanically. The procedures for sampling and for the preparation of the wool before measurement are also described. These are carried out using a mechanical sampling device, a card and a gilbox, and recommendations are made regarding the choice of suitable machines. The measurements are made using a suitable electronic instrument.

Data on the fibre length after carding is of value to buyers, sellers, primary processors and users of wool. It identifies an important parameter relevant to merchanting of the product as well as its end-use, and the appropriate conditions for processing the wool into yarn. Such a parameter when specified enables its incorporation in commercial contracts.

The method has been developed by the Wool Research Organisation of New Zealand Inc.

All persons who may be affected by this publication and who desire to comment thereon, may obtain copies at the price shown, from the Standards Association of New Zealand, Wellington Trade Centre, 181–187 Victoria Street (or Private Bag), Wellington.
