Identification of Textile Fibre
Identification of Textile Fibre A: Burning Test :- Textile fibres can be identified by observing the burning phase of these fibres in flame . All natural and regenerated fibres are burnt to ash and special smell is observed for each fibre. Synthetic fibres on burning contract and form beads. All cellulosic fibres such as jute, […]
Fibre Content / Composition Test
Fibre Content / Composition Test Analysis of fibre content: Qualitative analysis Quantitative analysis (for blended material) Qualitative analysis By Flame/burn test By solubility test Reaction of Fibres to Flame Solubility of Fibres (Method-AATCC 20-2000) S=Soluble I=Insoluble P=Plastic mass formed S/P=Soluble/Plastic mass formed N=Nylon 6 is soluble but Nylon 6/6 is insoluble Quantitative analysis of different […]
Crease Resistance & Recovery Test
Crease Resistance & Recovery Test Crease: This is a fabric defect evidenced by a break line or mark or fold in a fabric generally caused by a sharp fold. Crease appears when the fabric is distorted in such a manner that part of it is stretched beyond its elastic recovery. During creasing the upper surface […]
Textile Testing : Pilling Test of Fabric
Pilling Test of Fabric | Pilling Phenomena Pilling: Pilling is formation of little balls of fibers (pills) on the surface of a fabric which is caused by abrasion in wear. Pilling is the tendency of fibers to come loose from a fabric surface and form balled particles of fiber. Causes of Pilling: Due to wear and […]
Fabric Tearing Strength Test
Fabric Tearing Strength Test Tearing strength: A fabric tears when it is snagged by a sharp object and the immediate small puncher is converted into long rip by what may be a very small extra effort. It is probably the most common type of strength failure of fabrics in use. It is particularly important in […]

What changes does the Crockmeter bring to our lives?
What changes does the Crockmeter bring to our lives? The Crockmeter is used to determine the colorfastness of the textiles to wet or dry rubbing. You can use the Crockmeter for the Crockmeter test and the Crockmeter price is also competitive. A pre-determined electronic counter is fitted in the Crockmeter for strokes of up to […]
Abrasion and Abrasion Resistance Test
Abrasion and Abrasion Resistance Test Abrasion: Abrasion is one aspect of wear and is the rubbing away of the component fibers and yarns of the fabric. Abrasion may be classified as follows- Plane or flat abrasion-A flat area of material is abraded. Edge abrasion-This kind of abrasion occurs at collars and folds. Flex abrasion-In this […]
