Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any
patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on
the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical Barriers
to Trade (TBT), see the following URL: Foreword — Supplementary information.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD  ISO 18067:2015(E)
Textiles — Synthetic filament yarns — Determination of
shrinkage in dry-hot air (after treatment)
1  Scope
This International Standard specifies methods for the determination of dry-hot air shrinkage (after
treatment) of synthetic filament yarns, skein method and single-end method. The skein method provides
two forms of measurement which are of manual and automatic types. The single-end method gives the
result by manual measurement.
In case of dispute, manual measurement procedure is to be used.
If these methods are not applicable, the corresponding test methods may be agreed between
interested parties.
This International Standard is applicable to synthetic filament yarns of linear density less than 3 000 dtex.
This International Standard is not applicable to partially oriented yarns.
2  Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 139, Textiles — Standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing
3  Terms and definition
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
shrinkage in dry-hot air (after treatment)
decrease in length of a specimen as a result of thermal treatment in dry-hot air, expressed as a percentage
of its original length, which measured under tension before and after treatment
4  Principle
Under specific condition, a test specimen is treated in dry-hot air. Shrinkage is calculated as variation in
length, measured before and after treatment.
5  Apparatus and materials
5.1  Skein winding reel, which meets the following requirements:
a) 1 000 ± 2,5 mm reel circumference, driven either automatically or manually;
b) a traversing mechanism to avert overlapping when several skeins are wound at the same time;
c) a tensioning device to maintain tension within the recommended limits, accurate to within ± 10 %;
d) a device to count reel revolutions, preferably capable to stop winding automatically and warn when
nearing the specified number of reel revolutions;

e) a mechanism to reduce the reel circumference for easy removal of the skein.
5.2  Length-measuring stand, which meets the following requirements:
a) a stand for measuring specimen length of least 1 mm gauge length;
b) a millimetre scale to determine specimen length, accurate to within ±1 mm;
c) a steel hook or a clamp, where the top of the hook or the lower side of the clamp (where the specimen
hung from) is positioned in line with the zero index of the scale;
d) tensioning weights with hooks or clamps for applying tensile force to specimens, accurate to
within ±10 %.
5.3  Automatic shrinkage tester, which meets the following requirements:
a) automatically applies specified tension, measures specimen length, and calculates the shrinkage
based on length values;
b) 0,05 mm resolution of length measurement;.
c) a specimen holder for suspending specimens more than 600 mm high, which can consistently hold
2,5 cN load per skein for the duration of the testing procedure with several skeins arranged and
tested in succession.
NOTE Other mechanical devices may be used for the test provided that equivalent results are obtained.
5.4  Ventilated oven, which meets the following requirements:
a) a holder for suspending spec
