Scope

GB/T 43446-2023 is the English-translated version of 发制品 垂度试验方法.

GB/T 43446-2023 is the Chinese national test method for the drape, or sag, of hair products, measured by side projection.

A sample is arranged into a hair bundle with even ends and hung from one end, and while it is disturbed by rotation a digital camera records the maximum and minimum spacing at a point on the edge of its silhouette, giving the sag coefficient.

It fixes the test conditions, which follow GB/T 6529, the sag tester built from a rotating sample platform, digital camera, computer and software, the balance and sample preparation equipment, then the sample, the test steps, the data processing with rounding to GB/T 8170, and the report.

Clause 1 applies it to straight hair products of length not less than 170 mm. Issued on 27 November 2023, it has applied since 1 June 2024.

Foreword

This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents" Drafting.

Introduction

The issuing organization of this document draws attention to the fact that when stating compliance with this document, it may refer to Chapters 4, 5, 7, 8 and Chapter 9 Patents related to "Hair product sag measurement method", "Hair product sag tester" and "Hair product flexibility and sag tester" use.

The issuing authority of this document takes no position regarding the authenticity, validity, or scope of the patents.

The patent holder has undertaken to the issuing authority of this document that he is willing to negotiate with any applicant on reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions.

Next, negotiate for patent licensing. A statement of the patent holder has been filed with the issuing authority of this document.

Please note that in addition to the above patents, some content in this document may still involve patents. The publisher of this document assumes no responsibility for identifying patents responsibility.

1 Scope

This document describes a test method for determining the sag of hair products using the side projection method.

This document applies to straight hair products with a length of not less than 170mm.

2 Normative reference documents

The contents of the following documents constitute essential provisions of this document through normative references in the text. Among them, the dated quotations For undated referenced documents, only the version corresponding to that date applies to this document; for undated referenced documents, the latest version (including all amendments) applies to this document.

GB/T 6529 Standard atmosphere for humidity conditioning and testing of textiles

GB/T 8170 Numerical rounding rules and expression and determination of limit values

GB/T 23166 Hair product terminology

3 Terms and definitions

The terms and definitions defined in GB/T 23166 and the following apply to this document.

3.1 Drapability

The extent to which hair products sag due to their own weight under specified conditions.

Note: In the side view projection method, sag refers to the degree of droop in the appearance of a hair bundle that is held at one end and hangs naturally after being disturbed, and is used to reflect the difference in hair quality.

3.2 When

the hair bundle sample is hanging naturally, the ratio of the approximate cross-sectional area after being disturbed by axial rotation and before being disturbed.

Note: The sag coefficient is an indicator used to express the appearance of the hair bundle.

4 Principles

Using the sag coefficient as the sag index, the sample is arranged into a hair bundle with neat ends, a certain length, and a certain quality. One end of the sample is held Hold it, and the other end hangs down naturally. While the sample is being disturbed by rotation, use a digital camera to measure the maximum position of a certain position on the edge of the side image of the sample.

Large spacing and minimum spacing, calculate the ratio of the product of the maximum spacing and the minimum spacing before the hair bundle is disturbed by rotation to obtain the sag coefficient.

5 Test conditions

The atmosphere including humidity control and testing should be implemented in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 6529.

6 Instruments and Equipment

6.1 Hair product sag tester

6.1.1 The hair product sag tester consists of a sample rotating platform, a digital camera, an online computer and software. The structural diagram is shown in Figure 1.
