Development of the Standard Numbered Cotton Duck Specification explains how a standard was built for numbered cotton duck. This nonfiction work details the study of commercial numbered ducks, the tests used to measure their properties, and the rationale behind tolerances and specifications adopted for government and industry use. It presents the process of collecting samples, comparing methods, and selecting a uniform testing approach to ensure consistency across manufacturers and buyers.
The book outlines the testing framework, including how weight, width, thread count, twist, and breaking strength are measured. It also explains how the final specification was shaped to balance accuracy, practicality, and repeatable results for both public procurement and private production. Readers will see how a cooperative effort among industry groups and government departments led to a widely adopted standard.
Ideal for engineers, researchers, fabric manufacturers, and procurement professionals who work with heavy-duty textiles and government standards.
