COMMERCIAL STANDARD CS11-41

for MOISTURE REGAINS OF COTTON YARNS (Second Edition)

On January 15, 1929, at the instance of the National Association of and Underwear Manufacturers, a general conference of representatives of manufacturers, mercerizers, distributors, and users of cotton adopted a recommended Commercial Standard for moisture regain of mercerized cotton yarns, which was subsequently accepted by the trade and promulgated as Commercial Standard CS11-29. On recommendation of the standing committee, a revision of the standard was submitted to the trade for acceptance on November 8, 1940. This revision broadens the scope to include a commercial moisture regain of cotton yarn (unmercerized); methods of test; and additional definitions. The revision has since been accepted by the trade for promulgation by the Department of Commerce through the National Bureau of Standards. The standard is effective for determining invoice weights and adjust- ments of claims, from August 1, 1941.

(Second Edition)

COMMERCIAL STANDARD CS11-41 PURPOSE

1. The purpose of this Commercial Standard is to establish standard specifications and method of test for commercial moisture regains of cotton yarns for the guidance of producers, distributors, and users, and to provide a uniform basis for determining the 1 ‘commercial weight.” SCOPE

2. The standard covers commercial moisture regains for mercer- ized and unmercerized cotton yarns, definitions, method of test, and tolerances, and illustrates the manner in which manufacturers and distributors may guarantee compliance with the Commercial Standard. DEFINITIONS

3. Moisture Regain.—The term “moisture regain” for the pur- pose of this standard is defined as the difference between the weight of the cotton yarn as sampled (Wo) and its “dry weight” (Wd), ex- pressed as a percentage of the “dry weight,” that is, 6. . Wo-Wd K/ inn moisture regain = — — X100.

4. Commercial Moisture Regain—The term “commercial moisture regain” for the purpose of this standard is defined as the moisture regain formally adopted for use in calculating the “commercial weights” of shipments or deliveries of cotton yarns. 5. Moisture Content.—The term “moisture content” for the pur- pose of this standard is defined as the difference between the weight of the yarn as sampled (Wo) and its “dry weight” (Wd), expressed as a percentage of the original (sampled) weight, that is, Wo-Wd moisture content Wo X100.

(The moisture content is equal to the moisture regain multiplied by the ratio of the “dry weight” to the original (sampled) weight of the yarn, that is, moisture regain XWd/Wo). Dry Weight.—The term “dry weight” for the purpose of this standard is defined as the wr eight of cotton yarn dried in an oven at 221° to 230° F (105° to 110° C) until the weights of the yarn from two consecutive weighings, taken not less than 10 minutes apart, differ by not more than 0.1 percent of the first of the two weights.

2 Commercial Standard CS11-J+1

. 7. Commercial Weight —The term “commercial weight’ ’ for the purpose of this standard is defined as the dry weight of cotton yarn plus the weight equivalent to its commercial moisture regain. REQUIREMENTS

8. The commercial moisture regain of cotton yarn (-unmercerized shall be 7 percent.

9. The invoice weight of cotton yarn {unmercerized ) having a moisture regain below 6 or above 8 percent shall be adjusted by the seller or buyer, as the case may be, to “commercial weight.” The invoice weight of such yarn having a moisture regain of 7 ± 1 percent shall not call for adjustment. 10. The commercial moisture regain of mercerized cotton yarn shall be 8% percent. 11. The invoice weight of mercerized cotton yarn having a moisture regain below 7}{ or above 9K percent shall be adjusted by the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to “commercial weight.” The invoice weight of such yarn having a moisture regain of 8%dbl percent shall not call for adjustment. METHODS OF SAMPLING AND TESTS

12. Not less than three sample tubes, cones, or skeins of cotton yarn shall be taken from at least 1 package in every 10 packages or less delivered immediately after the delivery is weighed. Two of the three samples shall be taken from opposite sides and the third from near the center of the package. 13. The samples selected shall be taken from the packages and accurately weighed within a time limit of approximately 45 seconds. The weight of the cones or tubes shall be deducted to obtain the weight of the yarn. If it is not practicable to weigh the samples at point of delivery, they shall be placed immediately in air-tight con- tainers and forwarded to the laboratory at which test is to be made. 14. The method of sampling cotton yarns other than those in skeins or on tubes and cones shall be as mutually agreed on by the buyer and seller. 15. The samples for test with cones or tubes removed, shall be dried in an oven to dry weight (see paragraph 6) and the moisture regain calculated (see paragraph 3). The average of the moisture regains of the individual samples shall be considered the moisture regain of the entire lot represented by the samples. GUARANTY

16. The following statement, which may be printed, typed, or stamped, or otherwise indicated on invoices, illustrates the manner in which cotton yarn manufacturers or distributors may guarantee that the invoiced weight is based on a moisture regain within the limits specified herein:

The guar- antees that the weight of this cotton (mercerized) (unmercerized) yarn is based on a moisture regain within the limits of Commercial Standard CS11-41, as issued by the National Bureau of Standards, U. S. Department of Commerce. Moisture Regains of Cotton Yarns 3 CALCULATIONS FOR ADJUSTMENTS

17. The following formulas are not to be considered a part of the Commercial Standard but are given for the convenience of those making adjustments in invoice weights. Having determined the moisture regain of cotton yarn at time of delivery, the moisture regain of the cotton yarn at the time it was weighed for invoicing may be determined from the formula W, Ri=^(100+i?2 )—100.

18. If this calculated value of Rx is not within the limits specified herein, the commercial weight may be determined from the formula

In both formulas, W— commercial weight in pounds. Wi — invoiced weight in pounds.

W2 = delivered weight ip pounds. R~ commercial moisture regain in percent. Ri= moisture regain of yarn as invoiced, in percent, moisture regain of yarn as delivered, in percent.

EFFECTIVE DATE

The standard is effective for determining invoice weights and ad- justments of claims from August 1, 1941. STANDING COMMITTEE

The following comprises the membership of the Standing Commit- tee, which is to review, prior to circulation for acceptance, revisions proposed to keep the standard abreast of progress. Each organization nominated its own representatives. Comment concerning the stand- ard and suggestions for revision may be addressed to any member of the committee or to the Division of Trade Standards, National Bureau of Standards, which acts as Secretary for the committee.

4 Commercial Standard CSll-Jfl HISTORY OF PROJECT

In 1927 E. M. Schenk e, Research Associate at the National Bureau of Standards, representing the National Association of Hosiery and Underwear Manufacturers, after a careful scientific study of the moisture content and regain of mercerized cotton yarn, offered a re- port to that Association recommending a standard regain of 7.53 percent (7-percent moisture content). On October 3, 1928, the Na- tional Association of Hosiery and Underwear Manufacturers requested of the National Bureau of Standards that this report be established as a Commercial Standard to eliminate constant confusion and dispute as to the proper weight of mercerized yarn for the computation of buying and selling price. Pursuant to this request, a general conference of representative producers, mercerizers, distributors, and users of cotton yarns was held on January 15, 1929, for the purpose of considering the proposed commercial standard as endorsed by the National Association of Hosiery and Underwear Manufacturers. The standard as modified by the conference was subsequently accepted by the trade, and issued by the National Bureau of Standards as Regain of Mercerized Cotton Yarns, Commercial Standard CSll-29, effective from July 1, 1929. FIRST REVISION

Pursuant to inquiries received on the regain of cotton yarns (unmer- cerized), particularly those from an important cotton yarn distributing association, and on the recommendation of the Standing Committee, a revision of the standard was submitted to the trade for acceptance on November 8, 1940. The changes in CSll-29 include the addition of a commercial moisture regain for cotton yarns (unmercerized) definitions for commercial moisture regain, dry weight, and commercial weight; methods of test; and a recommended wording by which manu- facturers and distributors may guarantee compliance with the Commercial Standard. Following written acceptance by a satisfactory majority of manu- facturers of unmercerized and mercerized cotton yarns, announcement of the success of the project was issued on June 30, 1941.

In the case of related interests, trade , colleges, etc., desiring to record their general approval, the words “in principle” should be added after the signature. 5 TO THE ACCEPTOR

The following statements answer the usual questions arising in connection with the acceptance and its significance: 1. Enforcement.—Commercial Standards are commodity specifica- tions voluntarily established by mutual consent of those concerned. They present a common basis of understanding between the producer, distributor, and consumer and should not be confused with any plan of governmental regulation or control. The United States Depart- ment of Commerce has no regulatory power in the enforcement of their provisions, but since they represent the will of the interested groups as a whole, their provisions through usage soon become established as trade customs, and are made effective through in- corporation into sales contracts by means of labels, invoices, and the like. 2. The acceptor's responsibility.—The purpose of Commercial Standards is to establish for specific commodities, nationally recognized grades of consumer criteria and the benefits therefrom will be measur- able in direct proportion to their general recognition and actual use. Instances will occur when it may be necessary to deviate from the standard and the signing of an acceptance does not preclude such departures; however, such signature indicates an intention to follow the Commercial Standard where practicable, in the production, distribution, or consumption of the article in question. 3. The Department' s responsibility.—The major function performed by the Department of Commerce in the voluntary establishment of Commercial Standards on a Nation-wide basis is fourfold: first, to act as an unbiased coordinator to bring all interested parties together for the mutually satisfactory adjustment of trade standards; second, to supply such assistance and advice as past experience with similar programs may suggest; third, to canvass and record the extent of acceptance and adherence to the standard on the part of producers, distributors, and users; and fourth, after acceptance, to publish and promulgate the standard for the information and guidance of buyers and sellers of the commodity. 4. Announcement and promulgation.—When the standard has been endorsed by a satisfactory majority of production or consump- tion in the absence of active, valid opposition, the success of the project is announced. If, however, in the opinion of the standing committee or the Department of Commerce, the support of any standard is inadequate, the right is reserved to withhold promulgation and publication. 6 ACCEPTORS

The organizations and individuals listed below have accepted this specification as their standard of practice in the production, distribu- tion, and use of unmercerized and mercerized cotton yarns. Such endorsement does not signify that they may not find it necessary to deviate from the standard, nor that producers and distributors so listed guarantee all of their products in this field to conform with the requirements of this standard. Therefore specific evidence of con- formity should be obtained where required.
