——the expression of instrument measurement is modified (see 7.1.2; 7.1.2 of Edition 2007);

——the recommended color difference limit is added for determining whether the color light is qualified in instrument measurement (see 7.1.2);

——the "result judgment" is moved to 7.1.1 "visual evaluation" (see 7.1.1.5; 7.3 of Edition 2007).

This standard was proposed by China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association.

This standard is under the jurisdiction of Technical Committee on Dyestuff of Standardization Administration of China (SAC/TC 134).

The previous editions of this standard are as follows:

——GB 2374-1980, GB/T 2374-1994 and GB/T 2374-2007.


Dyestuffs - General rules for dyeing test

1 Scope

This standard specifies the requirements for materials and reagents used in dyeing (or printing) test, requirements for instruments and equipment, basic requirements for dyeing test, dyeing process control and evaluation of dyeing result.

This standard is applicable to the dyeing (or printing) inspection and test of various dyestuffs.

3 Requirements for materials and reagents

3.1 Reagents

The chemical reagents and dyeing auxiliaries used in dyeing test shall be formal products of the factory and meet the corresponding standard requirements. The chemical reagents shall be at least chemically pure. For chemical reagents or other auxiliaries that are not currently regulated by national or professional standards, the specifications shall be specified in detail in the method standards or product standards for various dyestuffs.

3.2 Water for test

The water used in the dyeing test process, including the water for pretreatment and post-treatment of fabrics (except rinsing water), water used for preparing solution of dyestuffs and dyeing reagents, etc., shall meet the requirements for Grade 3 water specified in GB/T 6682-2008.

3.3 Fiber

Yarns or fabrics used for dyeing test shall conform to corresponding standards or quality specifications. The specific variety requirements are as follows:

a) cotton yarn: 14 tex/2(42 S/2) scouring and bleaching 42 double-stranded yarns, meeting the requirements of GB/T 25813;

b) cotton cloth: 25 tex/28 tex(23 S×21 S) scouring and bleaching muslin, meeting the requirements of GB/T 25812;

c) pure cotton knitted fabric: scouring and bleaching knitted fabric;

d) wool fanlidine: scouring and bleaching cloth;

e) wool yarn: scouring and bleaching 219 woolen yarn;

f) polyester fabric: 13 tex/13 tex(45 S×45 S) pure polyester plain-weave fabric, meeting the requirements of GB/T 25811;

g) polyester yarn: 50 three-strand staple fiber yarns;

h) polyester knitted fabric;

i) acrylic bulked yarn: 26 double-stranded yarns;

j) acrylic fanlidine;

k) nylon fabric: plain-weave fabric or nylon knitted fabric;

l) silk: mulberry silk plain-weave fabric;

m) others: if necessary, it shall be specified in detail separately in product standards according to specific conditions.

4 Requirements for instruments and equipment

Various instruments and equipment used in the dyeing test process, including dyeing equipment, balance, glass measuring device, etc., shall be subjected to regular metrological verification and may only be used after passing the verification.

5 Basic requirements for dyeing test

5.1 Dyeing depth

5.1.1 Expression of dyeing depth

5.1.1.1 Dyeing depth in dyeing test

Dyeing depth shall be indicated where color light and intensity or color fastness or other application properties are tested. The dyeing depth in dyeing test is expressed as follows:

——dip dyeing: calculated by the fraction of dyestuff mass relative to fabric mass, expressed in % (owf);

——pad dyeing: calculated by the ratio of the dyestuff mass of dye liquor to the volume of dye liquor, expressed in g/L;

——printing: calculated by the fraction of dyestuff mass of printing paste relative to the mass of printing paste, expressed in %.

5.1.1.2 Standard dyeing depth

In the test of color fastness and some application properties, in order to facilitate comparison, standard dyeing depth should be adopted. The standard dyeing depth is in accordance with GB/T 4841.1-2006, GB/T 4841.3-2006 and GB/T 4841.2-2006, expressed as 1/1, 2/1, 1/3, 1/6, 1/12, 1/25, light navy blue, dark navy blue, light black and dark black.

5.1.2 Selection of dyeing depth

5.1.2.1 Color light and intensity

In the test of color light and intensity of dyestuffs, the dyeing depth shall not only meet the requirements of grading clarity and suitability for evaluating color light and intensity, but also the appropriate reduction of operation error shall be considered. Therefore, the dyeing depth is generally between 1/3~1/1 standard dyeing depth specified in GB/T 4841.1-2006 and GB/T 4841.3-2006. For navy blue and black dyestuffs, the dyeing depth shall also be selected to ensure that it reflects the true color of dyestuffs.
