TS ISO 10132

TS ISO 10132 is a terminology standard for textured filament yarns. It provides a shared technical language for describing the structure, appearance and key properties associated with this yarn family, helping manufacturers, laboratories, traders and specifiers use the same terms with the same meaning.

What textured filament yarn means

Textured filament yarn differs from smooth, straight filament yarn because it has been given additional structure to increase bulk, stretch response, softness or visual texture. Texturing processes can introduce crimp, loops or other structural changes that alter how the yarn behaves in downstream use. In general technical context, these distinctions matter because yarn appearance, handle and functional behaviour are not described reliably unless the terminology is consistent.

What this standard covers

According to the supplied scope, the standard covers terms and definitions for characteristics of textured filament yarns. That means it defines the names and meanings of the relevant characteristics, rather than prescribing a test method, numerical limits or acceptance criteria. Its role is therefore that of a reference vocabulary for clear technical communication in textiles.

• Organises the terminology used for yarn structure and appearance.
• Supports consistent naming of texturing-related characteristics.
• Helps align technical documents, specifications and communication.
• Focuses on definitions, not on performance testing requirements.
