Sample Preparation and Test Procedure of Fabric Stiffness Measurement

Sample preparation
To ensure consistent fabric properties day after day, all test specimens are first conditioned to approximately 70 degrees Fahrenheit and 65% relative humidity. Once the fabrics are adequately conditioned, test specimens are cut to 8 inches by 4 inches. To ensure the results are representative of the fabric in question, five individual specimens are cut from different locations on a roll of fabric. Next, the specimens are folded in half, resulting in a 4-inch-square folded test specimen. For consistency in testing fabrics that have a different face and back, samples are always folded so the technical face of the fabric is on the outside.

Test procedure
When a specimen has been prepared, it is placed on the orifice platform and is ready for testing. At this point, the plunger is activated and begins pushing the sample down through the orifice. Once the plunger has forced the fabric through the specimen, the maximum force required to do so is displayed on the force-measurement gauge. In the case of modern digital models, this force can be measured to the nearest 0.001 pounds. Once the force is recorded, the gauge is reset and these steps are repeated until all five specimens are tested. These five results are then averaged and reported as fabric stiffness.

Classfication Of The Textile Testing

Textile testing is the term for a whole series of tests that examine the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of textiles. These tests are sometimes done before a textile goes into widespread use, or they're done on textiles arriving from other countries for sale in US markets. Countries like the United States have established standards for what should and should not be in textile products. Tests can show whether companies making textiles are in compliance or not. Many textile tests have many types. Some of them are physical tests, in which a sample of textile material is examined closely for feel and appearance. Such tests are done on individual fibers or strands of material and on yarns, threads made of several fibers twisted together. Textiles are subjected to light and other elements to see how they react. Some of these tests are done in a weather-ometer, a machine that tests for weathering and lightfastness of textiles. It's basically an enclosed box. Textiles...

How To Process The Elmendorf Tear Strength Test

The Elmendorf tear tester has been developed specially for the paper industry and is outstanding for simplicity of operation and high measurement accuracy. The exchangeable pendulum is equipped with a pneumatic sample clamp. The initiation and return of the pendulum, as well as sample cutting is completely automatic. The device is operated via an integrated touch screen, where the test method can be selected, specific settings can be adjusted, and, after the measurement, results and statistics can be  displayed.Each pendulum is supplied with the appropriate control weight so that, with the help of the service program, it can easily be checked for functionality and balance. The Elmendorf tear test Procedure:     Cotton fabric was taken.     Warp and weft direction of the fabric was identified.     Two strips were cut from the fabric in both directions having dimensions of 100 x 63.5 mm.     The sample was then fixed in the jaws of the ...

Standard Procedure Of Oxygen Index Test Methods

Oxygen index tester test methods, which describes the tendency of a material to sustain a flame, are widely used as a tool to investigate the flammability of polymers. They provide a convenient, reproducible, means of determining a numerical measure of flammability. A further attraction is that the test method uses inexpensive equipment and only requires a small sample size. These methods have been used to systematical investigate the relative flammabilities of fire-retarded materials, frequently comparing the effectiveness of fire-retardants and fire-retardancy mechanisms. The quintessential feature of oxygen-index methods is that the sample is burnt within a controlled atmosphere. The standard procedure is to ignite the top of the sample, using a gas flame which is withdrawn once ignition has occurred, and to find the lowest oxygen concentration in an upward flowing mixture of nitrogen and oxygen which just supports sustained burning. The criticality criterion typically tak...
