With the development of the times, people's demands for clothing have gone beyond just comfort; they also require clothing to have certain functions. Moisture permeability is both an important factor affecting comfort and an indicator of functionality. The testing of…
Drafting ratio is the amount of the fiber strand being drawn out before the process of yarn formation. A suitable drafting ratio can help to achieve a uniform fiber distribution and stable yarn weight to enhance the uniformity of the…
With improvements in living standards and advancements in technology, functional textiles offering water, oil, and stain resistance have garnered increasing attention from consumers. The ability of textiles to resist surface wetting by various liquids—such as water, oil, alcohol, blood, and…
There are currently two main types of waterproof fabric designs. The first is laminated waterproof fabric, created by bonding ordinary fabric with a special adhesive through a lamination process to form a waterproof composite; this structure may consist of two…
Evenness is one of the critical quality parameters that is vital in yarns for uniformity of the mass along the length of the yarn. It directly affects the appearance of the fabrics, efficiency of weaving and knitting, dye uniformity, and…
The international standard ISO 6330:2021 "Textiles—Home washing and drying procedures for testing" (hereinafter referred to as the "new standard") was published and implemented in November 2021. This standard was jointly developed by ISO/TC 38/SC2 and CEN/TC 248 under the technical…
The uniformity of yarn is measured by the yarn evenness tester by determining the deviations in mass, thickness, neps, and other irregularities. It is also frequently utilized in research institutes, universities, textile laboratories, spinning mills, and quality control departments for…
A yarn evenness tester is a quality control machine that measures the differences and variation in mass, power unit length of yarn. The variation is measured and reported in terms of U%(mass deviation), CV%(coefficient of variation), and imperfection counts. The…
Air permeability refers to a fabric's ability to allow air to pass through it, a characteristic that directly influences its performance in apparel. For instance, fabrics intended for summer wear require high air permeability, whereas winter fabrics need lower permeability…
A washing fastness tester is an essential textile testing machine for assessing color fastness to washing, ensuring the fabric stays colored and won't stain when washed. It simulates the actual washing process and can be used to measure washing fastness…
A washing fastness tester is a special textile testing machine designed for testing the color fastness to washing under simulated washing conditions such as washing temperature, washing solution, and washing mechanical power. It tests for washing fastness and colour fastness…
An infrared dyeing machine works similarly to a microwave. Still, for fabric, it heats up the dyeing solution directly using IR radiation instead of heating the solution using a glycerin or water bath. This helps it conserve energy while also…
