To identify the cotton fibre a number of test methods can be applied. The methods stated below are most commonly exercised: Burn Test The burn test is a quick way to determine the fibre content of a fabric. It is so simple that an inexperienced person can still determine the difference between many fibres to narrow the[…]
Definition of Inspection and Testing In order to maintain the required quality in the product it is necessary to have a well-defined quality control system to validate the quality of the various materials purchased and produced.

Quality assurance is an important part of knitted fabric production system. We should maintain the proper guideline of the production process to assure the quality of knitted fabric for the buyer acceptance of the end products. The process can be discussed as below: Quality Assurance Procedure Quality assurance procedure may be divided into two major parts: Online[…]
Measurement of Crease Recovery Crease recovery is measured quantitatively in terms of crease recovery angle. Principle A wrinkle-free rectangular specimen of prescribed dimensions is folded in half and compressed under a load for a specified time. The load is then removed and the specimen is allowed to recover for the specified time. The amount of[…]
Description of Shirley Stiffness Tester The stiffness tester consists of a platform with smooth low friction and flat surfaces such as glossy metal or plastic. The platform is supported by two side pieces made of plastic. Index lines are engraved on these side pieces, inclined at an angle of 41.50 below the platform surface plane.[…]
The lea tester is operating on constant rate of extension (CRE) principle, in particular pendulum type. Description of Lea Tester It is a motor driven, pendulum type lea tester.

For our daily purposes, we wear different types of dresses. For the morning walk, we like to wear tracksuits. For swimming, we’ve to wear swimsuits. Also for heavy works we need to wear work-wears. So the physical properties of our clothing are an important factor. To have good physical properties, tear and tensile for woven and bursting strength for[…]
The task of a spinner is to transform a mass of millions of fibres with variable properties, tangled and containing unwanted foreign matter into a yarn characterized by uniformity of weight per unit length, diameter, TPI, colour, strength and so on. Now to test this uniformity different types of m/cs are used in textile technology. Evenness Tester[…]
