1. SCOPE:

1.1 Form:

This specification covers one type of organic (para-aramid) fiber in the form of yarn. The product shall be formed as a multiplicity of filaments drawn together and gathered into an approximately parallel arrangement.

1.2 Classification:

Organic fiber 3000 denier (3300 dtex) yarn with 22.9 gpd (202.1 cN/tex) nominal tensile strength and 535 gpd (4720 cN/tex) nominal tensile modulus for use in weaving into fabric for non-apparel ballistic applications requiring high tensile strength and moderate modulus of elasticity in tension.
