ASTM D3822/D3822M, Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Single Textile Fibers, is the test method for tensile properties.
ASTM D3822/D3822M Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Single Textile Fibers
At a Glance
Document type: Test Method.
Edition: active, edition D3822/D3822M-14(2020).
Property determined: tensile properties.
Scope
Measurement of tensile properties of natural and man-made single textile fibers of sufficient length to permit mounting test specimens in a tensile testing machine.
Applicable to continuous filament and staple fibers, including fibers taken from yarns or tow.
Provides directions for measuring breaking force and elongation at break and for calculating breaking tenacity, initial modulus, chord modulus, tangent modulus, tensile stress at specified elongation, and breaking toughness.
What the Result Tells You
A test to ASTM D3822/D3822M characterises the tensile properties of the material or assembly under the conditions the method fixes: specimen form, rate of loading and the environment in which the test is run.
Because the numbers depend on those fixed conditions, a result is only meaningful when the report names the standard, the edition and any options the method allows.

Reading the Designation
ASTM D3822/D3822M: a dual designation. One half carries the inch-pound version and the other the SI version. The two systems are used independently, never mixed inside a single report.
Year suffix: the revision is identified by its year, as in ASTM D3822-20. A specification that names an edition fixes that edition; a later revision does not apply to an order retroactively.
When a drawing, purchase order or quality procedure cites this document, the test setup, the specimen and the report follow that citation.
