ISO 17299-2:2014

Textiles — Determination of deodorant property — Part 2: Detector tube method

 

Introduction

This part of ISO 17299 describes a method using a detector tube as a concentration measuring device. The detector tube is a well-known odour sensor used for measurement of environmental odour chemical concentration in the field. The detector tube is made for each specific chemical and could be used for concentration measurement for a targeted chemical in gases. Detector tubes could be available commercially. This is a very simple and inexpensive testing method if the detector tubes can be obtained.

 

1   Scope

This part of ISO 17299 specifies a deodorant testing method using a detector tube for all textile products. This method is applicable to the odour component chemicals of ammonia, acetic acid, methyl mercaptan, and hydrogen sulfide.

3   Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

3.1

detector tube

device used for the gas concentration measurement test, which is a glass tube filled by grainy chemicals which react to the odour chemicals and change colour in proportion with the concentration of testing chemical

Note 1 to entry: The concentration of chemicals can be read on the graduation printed on the surface of the glass tube.
