ISO/TC 72/SC 4 - Dyeing and finishing machinery and graphical symbols for textile machinery

ISO 5250:2003 gives an illustrated nomenclature, in English, French and German, of the machines known as tenters (US) and/or stenters (GB), used in the textile finishing industry (bleaching, dyeing, printing and finishing), for the thermal treatment of fabric with maintenance of the width and adjustment of the latter, if necessary.

This International Standard presents an illustrated vocabulary of the most common ancillary devices placed before, between and after dyeing and finishing machines. The terms thus defined are placed under the following headings: 1 Feeding of material 2 Guiding of material 3 Control of speed of material 4 Accumulation of material 5 Treatment of material 6 Delivery of material 7 Transport of material NOTE In addition to terms and definitions in the two official ISO languages (English and French), the equivalents are given in German, under the responsibility of the member body for Germany. However, only the terms and definitions given in the official languages are to be considered as ISO terms and definitions.

Defines 8 critical widths to enable the specification, without ambiguity, of these essential dimensions, particularly in orders, and specifies the range of nominal width, i.e. the width of the machine elements, which house the textile fabric during a treatment process.

The parts covered are those which operate under dry or wet conditions or in steam, and which either come into contact with the fabric or are positioned within 100 mm of the fabric.

Lays down a range of nominal values of external and spindle diameters, and gives information on the working performance requirements for steel guide rollers used with dyeing and finishing machinery. An example for the designation of a guide roller specified is included.

Defines the left and right sides of dyeing and finishing machines so that the positioning of the various parts may be described without ambiguity, in particular when ordering. Applicable to individual machines in which the textile material follows a predetermined path, but not applicable to assemblies of machines in plants. - Replaces the first edition (ISO 1036-1976) and constitutes its technical revision.

ISO 11659-2:2004 specifies tests for determining the impact of processing oils on textile machine parts made of polymeric materials. In view of the multitude of processing oils and polymeric materials, it addresses a selection of those substances and materials. However, testing of products not mentioned is also possible. It is applicable to textile processing oils used on fibres, yarns and the filaments prepared for their processing, and to polymeric materials in the thermoplastics, duroplastics, elastomers and thermoplastic elastomers groups.

ISO 11659-3:2004 specifies tests for determining the impact of processing oils on textile machine parts made with lacquers. In view of the multitude of processing oils and lacquer systems, it addresses a selection of those substances and materials. However, testing of products not mentioned is also possible. It is applicable to textile processing oils used on fibres, yarns and the filaments prepared for their processing, and to lacquer systems applied to machine parts or test plates, including the necessary pre-treatment.

ISO 10457:2002 specifies nominal speeds for dyeing and finishing machines, with the aim of simplifying the choice of the drive units and facilitating the combination of individual machines in a production plant.

Describes a method for the determination of the anticorrosive effect of textile processing oils upon steel.

Specifies the dimensions of the square section of bars of types A and B.

Specifies the following nominal speeds in order to simplify the choice of the drive units and to facilitate the combination of individual machines in a production plant. Speeds in metres per minute: 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100, 125, 150, 200, 250.

These construction and safety rules do not apply to the following centrifuges, which are expressively excluded from the field of application of this International Standard: centrifuges in which the kinetic energy of the loaded rotor is less than 750 J; centrifuges considered to be electric motor-driven domestic machines; centrifuges with a circumferential speed greater than 300 m/s; centrifuges used exclusively for processing of atomic energy products.

Gives an illustrated nomenclature for the most common ancillary devices placed before, between and after dyeing and finishing machines. The terms used are placed under the following headings: Basic terms (in general), Feeding of material, Guiding of material, Control of the speed of material, Accumulation of material, Treatment of material, Delivery of material, Transport of material.

Gives an illustrated nomenclature of machines known as stenters, used in the textile finishing industry (bleaching, dyeing, printing and finishing), for the thermal treatment of fabric with maintainance of the width and adjustment of latter, if necessary. The terms used are placed under the following headings: Types of stenter; Machine features; Designation of side and indication of dimensions; Elements of construction.

Gives a classification and a nomenclature for machines and apparatus used in the bleaching, dyeing, printing and finishing industries, classified, as far as possible, by the operations for which they are intended. In the field of dyeing and finishing equipment a dinstinction is drawn between machines and apparatus. - Replaces ISO Recommendation R 1506-1970.
