ISO 139-1973 rus PDF

Full title and description

St ISO 139-1973 rus — ISO 139:1973 Textiles — Standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing. Specifies the reference conditions of temperature and relative humidity used for pre‑conditioning, conditioning and testing of textile materials in all forms; defines a standard temperate atmosphere and a standard tropical atmosphere (and variants intended specifically for testing). Note: the original ISO publication languages are English and French; "rus" in the title here is a cataloging/tagging indicator and does not necessarily imply an official Russian-language edition is part of the original 1973 publication.

Abstract

The standard defines the temperature and relative-humidity conditions to be used when pre‑conditioning, conditioning and testing textiles. It gives standard temperate and tropical atmospheres (each with a testing variant) so that textile test results are comparable between laboratories and manufacturers. The adjectives "temperate" and "tropical" are used in the context of textile testing only.

• Number of pages: 1 (short international standard/leaflet style document).

Scope

ISO 139:1973 sets out standard atmospheres (defined values of temperature and relative humidity) for the pre‑conditioning, conditioning and testing of textile materials of all kinds and in all forms. The standard establishes atmospheres intended to provide reproducible environmental conditions for physical and mechanical tests on textile products so that results are comparable between laboratories and suppliers.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of standard temperate atmosphere (conditioning and testing variants).
• Definition of standard tropical atmosphere (conditioning and testing variants).
• Specified values and allowable tolerances for temperature and relative humidity for pre‑conditioning, conditioning and testing.
• Guidance on use of the standard atmospheres to ensure comparability of textile test results across laboratories and contracts.
• Application limited to textiles; explanatory note that the terms "temperate" and "tropical" are specific to the textile context.

Typical use and users

Used by textile test laboratories, quality control departments in textile and apparel manufacturing, research institutions, standards bodies and procurement/specification authors. Typical applications include conditioning of samples before mechanical or physical tests (e.g., tensile tests, dimensional change tests, moisture‑related property testing) and establishing contract test conditions between buyer and supplier.

Related standards

ISO 139:1973 was later revised and superseded by ISO 139:2005 (Textiles — Standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing). Regional/adopted equivalents and related documents include European/adopted versions (for example, EN/ISO adoptions) and subsequent ISO documents that reference or build on standard conditioning atmospheres. Users should consult ISO 139:2005 (and its amendments) for the current technical content.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 139:1973 is an international standard that specified standard atmospheres (values of temperature and relative humidity) for conditioning and testing textile materials to ensure comparable test results.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It defined standard temperate and tropical atmospheres (including testing variants) and the temperature/RH conditions to be used for pre‑conditioning, conditioning and testing of textile samples of all kinds.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Textile test laboratories, manufacturers, quality control teams, standards committees and anyone specifying or performing textile tests where environmental conditioning affects results.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 139:1973 is withdrawn/superseded. The technical content was revised and replaced by ISO 139:2005 (and later confirmations/amendments); users should refer to ISO 139:2005 for the current, published requirements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: ISO 139 is a standalone standard addressing standard atmospheres for textiles; it sits within the suite of ISO/TC 38 (Textiles) standards that cover test methods, conditioning and machinery. Later and related ISO/EN publications may reference or adopt its conditioning requirements.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Conditioning, standard atmosphere, temperature, relative humidity, textiles, testing, pre‑conditioning, temperate, tropical.
