9. Procedure 9.1 General: 9.1.1 Cou

9. Procedure 9.1 General: 9.1.1 Count the number of ends and picks in five randomly spaced places diagonally across the width of the laboratory sampling unit. For specific distances to count, see 9.3. 9.1.2 Round all counts to the nearest whole yarn contained in the distance counted. 9.1.3 When two yarns are laid-in together and parallel,count each yarn separately, as a single unit, regardless of whether it is comprised of single or plied components. 9.2 Specific Fabric Widths: 9.2.1 For fabric widths of 100 cm (40 in.) or more, make no count closer than 15 cm (6 in.) from the selvage edge, or within 50 cm (20 in.) from the end of the roll or piece. 9.2.2 For fabric widths of less than 100 cm (40 in.) but greater than 12.5 cm (5 in.), make no count closer than one tenth of the width of the fabric from the selvage edge, or within 50 cm (20 in.) from the end of the roll or piece. 9.2.3 For narrow fabrics constructed with widths of 12.5 cm(5 in.) or less, use the full width of the fabric, but make no count within 50 cm (20 in.) from the end of the roll or piece. 9.3 Specific Fabric Counts: 9.3.1 For fabrics containing 10 yarns per cm (25 yarns per in.) or more, count the ends over 2.5 cm (1 in.) of width in five different, randomly selected places across the width of the laboratory sampling unit, and count the picks over a 2.5 cm (1in.) length in five different, randomly selected places along the length of the laboratory sampling unit. 9.3.1.1 When the coefficient of variation for five counts is higher than 5%，make five additional counts and average the results of the ten readings. 9.3.2 For fabrics containing less than 10 yarns per cm (25 yarns per in.), count the number of ends over a 7.5 cm (3 in.)width, in five randomly selected places across the width of the laboratory sampling unit, and count the number of picks over a 7.5 cm (3 in.) length in five randomly selected places along the length of the laboratory sampling unit. 9.3.2.1When the coefficient of variation for five counts in a 7.5 cm (3 in.) width is higher than 5%，discard those readings and make five fresh counts over a 12.5 cm (5 in.) width. 9.3.3 In fancy weaves, where one or more yarns do not appear at regular, short intervals, make count measurements over at least one full pattern repeat of each design in the weave.Count the number of ends over each design repeat in five different, randomly selected places across the width of the laboratory sampling unit, and count the number of picks over each design repeat in five different, randomly selected places along the length of the laboratory sampling unit. The repeat width and length shall be recorded to the nearest 0.1 cm (1/}6in.). 9.3.4 For narrow fabrics constructed with widths of 12.5 cm(5 in.) or less, count the number of ends in the full width of the fabric, and count the number of picks over a 2.5 cm (1 in.) length in five different, randomly selected places along the length of the laboratory sampling unit.
