CAN/CGSB-4.175-M91 Part/Partie 4 ISO 8159:1987, IDT (R2013)

This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISo 8159:1987. It defines the principal terms used to describe the various forms into which textile fibres can be assembled, up to and including cabled yarns. It contains only terms of general application; terms and/or definitions which are specific to particular fibres (such as hemp, silk, textile glass, metal fibre, carbon fibre, etc.) are excluded. A diagram is included which illustrates the relationship between various terms from a production point of view. This International Standard does not include terms which describe the manufacturing or processing methods, or terms used to quantify fibre and yarn properties.
