Introduction to Hydrostatic Head Testing Hydrostatic head testing is a vital method used to evaluate how well water-resistant or waterproof fabrics can withstand water pressure. This test determines the pressure level at which water begins to penetrate the fabric, which is crucial for applications in outdoor gear, tents, rainwear, and protective coverings. What Is…

The Martindale test method focuses on the pilling resistance of textiles.The Martindale pilling test methods differ significantly between American and Chinese standards. The American standard uses a 38 mm sample. It has a friction path of 60 mm and a load of 198 g, which is the weight of the abrasion head. The Chinese standard…

Pilling is a common problem in knitted fabrics. It affects how they look and traps dirt. This reduces wear performance and leads to a bad experience for consumers. The ICI pilling box method tests how well wool and other knitted fabrics resist pilling. In the ICI pilling test method, the specimen goes into a polyurethane…

Fabric bursting strength testing is of great importace for our daily outfit. We often notice that the elbows of sweaters easily deform, the knees of knitted pants are the first to wear out, and socks frequently develop holes in the toe area. Consumers may wonder: Is this a quality issue or an inherent characteristic of…

The Martindale method stands out as a widely used and reliable approach for determining fabric abrasion resistance. It offers three distinct methods – determination of sample breakage, mass loss, and appearance quality change. This article delves into the details of these three Martindale-based determination methods. Relying on China’s national standards GB/T21196.2 – 4—2007, it aims…
