Fabric shrinkage: different process test methods, common fabric shrinkage data

Fabric shrinkage

Fabric shrinkage, or elastic elongation, is the ratio of its length increase to its original length. Under certain conditions, we apply a tensile force at this point. It measures a fabric’s elasticity. It often describes its ability to deform under an external force. The stretch of a fabric has a significant impact on the fit,…

Laboratory dyeing and proofing session practical notes

Laboratory Dyeing and Proofing Session Practical Notes

Many things affect the color accuracy of polyester in factories. The accuracy of laboratory proofing is the most important of these factors. Continuous improvement is key. It will make lab sampling in printing and dyeing factories more accurate. This is crucial for colour accuracy. This paper uses disperse dyestuff dyeing of polyester as an example….

Interpretation of fabric tearing series standards:GB/T3917、ISO13937、ASTMD1424:2009

While wearing it, the fabric above the yarn can hook on other objects and tear. It will either rupture or be partially clamped and torn in half. A fabric tear causes this damage. Definition of terms Tearing Strength is the force needed to extend the initial cut in a specimen. This happens under specified conditions….

Clothing factory quality control in detail

Basics Quality   Maximising guest satisfaction and getting things right the first time. Quality is the quality of the product, superior versus inferior in the same category.   QC   Focuses on checking whether the process of goods in the production process meets the design specifications. The inspection reveals the quality situation in the factory and gives timely…

Tensile Strength Test for Fabrics

Textiles suffer many types of damage in daily use. Tensile, compression, bending, and friction cause the most important effects. These forces lead to fracture, tearing, and breaking. So, the textile’s tensile, tearing, and breaking properties directly affect the product’s durability. They also determine the textile’s quality. Tensile strength testing assesses the basic properties of textiles….

Summary of sampling rules for colour fastness to washing

Summary of sampling rules for colour fastness to washing

The test simulates how textiles keep their color. It does so under different conditions. Many types of colour fastness tests exist. These include soap, water, sweat, and light resistance. But, the tests differ in how they sample. Different staff take samples differently, even with the same test method. Habits, judgment, and other factors affect their…

What are the standards for cool-feeling textiles? What are the contact coolness factor requirements?

cool-feeling textiles

Functional clothing is increasingly popular. Cool textile technology has matured. So, the cool textile function is now practical. The relevant departments made two product standards. They aim to regulate the market and assess cool textiles. One is FZ/T 73067-2020 “contact cool knitted garments”. The other is FZ/T 62042-2020 “cool fabric bedding”. Both standards started on…
