Determination of water resistance by Shirley Hydrostatic Head Tester Introduction: The merit of a fabric intended for rainwear, wagon covers or tents is judged, amongst other properties, by its ability to keep water out; conversely, when intended for hose pipes or canvas buckets, to keep water in. In another direction, some fabrics must exhibit the […]
Determination of Sliver Count and Count variation by Measuring Drum
Determination of Sliver Count and Count variation by Measuring Drum Theory: – Yarn count: The count of a yarn is a numerical expression which defines its fineness. It means, by yarn count we come to learn about the thinness or thickness of a fibre or yarn. The count of the yarn is the number of […]
Determination of Carpet Thickness by Shirley Thickness Tester
Determination of Carpet Thickness by Shirley Thickness Tester Introduction: Carpet is a floor-covering textile having surface formed from yarns or fibres projecting from a substrate. Fabric thickness is a parameter of fabric which involves handle, creasing, wrinkle resistance, thermal resistance and other fabric properties. A carpet is compressible and therefore it is necessary to specify […]
Fabric Abration Resistance by Abration Resistance Tester
Fabric Abration Resistance by Abration Resistance Tester Introduction: Abrasion is just one aspect of wear and is the rubbing away of the component fibres and yarns of the fabric. It is a series of repeated applications of stress; therefore a capacity to absorb punishment is required to the fibres. Inherent fibre properties such as work […]
Cotton yarn count by Quadrant Balance
Cotton yarn count by Quadrant Balance Theory: – Yarn count: The count of a yarn is a numerical expression which defines its fineness. It means, by yarn count we come to learn about the thinness or thickness of a fibre or yarn. The count of the yarn is the number of such yarns which are […]
Determination of Fabric Crease Recovery by Crease Recover Tester
Determination of Fabric Crease Recovery by Crease Recover Tester. Introduction: Crease is a fold in fabric introduced unintentionally at some stages of processing. Crease or crushing of textile material is a complex effect involving tensile, compressive, flexing and torsional stresses. Crease recovery is a fabric property which indicates the ability of fabric to go back […]
Cotton yarn count by Beesely Balance
Cotton yarn count by Beesely Balance Theory: – Yarn count: The count of a yarn is a numerical expression which defines its fineness. It means, by yarn count we come to learn about the thinness or thickness of a fibre or yarn. The count of the yarn is the number of such yarns which are […]
Determination of fabric stiffness by Shirley Stiffness Tester
Determination of fabric stiffness by Shirley Stiffness Tester. Introduction: Stiffness is a special property of a fabric. It is the tendency of the fabric to keep standing without any support. It is a key factor to study of handle and drape. Object: To measure the stiffness of the given sample. Theory: A rectangular strip of […]
Cotton yarn count by Knowles Balance
Cotton yarn count by Knowles Balance Theory: Yarn count: The count of a yarn is a numerical expression which defines its fineness. It means, by yarn count we come to learn about the thinness or thickness of a fibre or yarn. The count of the yarn is the number of such yarns which are required […]
Determination of heavy fabric strength by Horizontal Strength Tester
Determination of heavy fabric strength by Horizontal Strength Tester. Introduction: The strength of a fabric gives us an idea how much load we can apply on it and it is very important for fabric. The strength of the fabric is very necessary for it because if the fabric strength is not good then it will […]
