One of the most common issues with the appearance of fabrics and the quality of their products is fabric pilling. As far as textiles and garments are concerned, you should look for testing instrumentation that is reliable to test the…
Snagging testers are imperative tools in the evaluation of the performance and longevity of fabric in the face of mechanical forces. They give precise measurements so as to determine the quality of the textile, minimize defects and also adhere to…
A melting point can immediately identify the material and define its purity. A melting point tester can determine the exact melting point of a material using a heat ramp and recording temperature changes when a solid transitions to a liquid.…
A yarn crimp tester is a special testing instrument in the textile industry that tells you the ‘crimp’ percentage or crimp ratio of yarns. Crimp here can be defined as the waviness that yarns have because of interlacing during the…
What Is a Laboratory Press? A laboratory press is a miniature version of an industrial press. Lab press is a bench-top or floor-standing machine which primarily applies a progressively increasing compressive force to a material sample. The force can shape…
Selecting the right UV accelerated weathering tester isn’t easy, especially with so much depending on testing results these days. Whether you’re at a research facility, college laboratory, textile production house, or quality control office, knowing how to choose an accelerated…
Think of linear density as the "pulse" of fiber production. It’s the weight-to-length ratio that tells you if your process is actually stable. If you get it wrong here, you're going to see the consequences later in uneven dyeing or…
Textile testing is essentially a high-stakes detective game. It’s where lab gear and chemicals meet the gut instinct of a technician who has handled thousands of swatches. You’re trying to prove a product is actually what the label says it…
In textile manufacturing, tension isn't just a setting; it’s the difference between a high-quality fabric and a pile of waste. As yarn moves through spinning, winding, and weaving, it’s constantly pulled and redirected by machine parts. If that pull isn't…
Universal Testing Machines (UTMs) are widely used for tensile testing of metals, rubber, plastics, and other engineering materials. With appropriate fixtures, the same machine can also be used for compression, flattening, and bending tests.Field statistics show that approximately two thirds…
Every material we use in daily life—fabric, rubber, plastic, leather, flooring, and coatings—faces friction. This friction slowly removes surface layers, causing wear, fading, scratches, or even total material failure. To make sure products can survive real-world use, manufacturers rely on…
Ramie is a perennial herbaceous plant known for its strong, lustrous fibers with excellent moisture absorption and breathability. However, due to the presence of pectin, hemicellulose, and other gummy substances, raw ramie is stiff and difficult to spin. Degumming removes…
