Textile Testing

Textile Testing is the application of engineering knowledge and science to the measurement of properties and characteristics of and conditioning affecting textile fibres, yarn and fabrics. It involves the use of techniques, tools, instruments and machines in the laboratory for evaluation of the properties of different forms of textiles. Quality control is concerned with the evaluation of test data and its application to the control of textile process, raw materials, intermediate products and final products. It concerned not only with quality level but also cost of maintaining this level. Testing provides back ground and data and quality control applies the results. Textile Testing has attained important position in the textile industry. It is just as applicable to the analysis of finished fabrics as it is to the raw materials. The laboratory equipped for textile testing is providing ground for the determination, measure and comparison such standards. It is also necessary to know the other conditions or forces influence the result. To understand interrelationship of many properties of textile materials knowledge of individual test methods and procedures is essential. Standards are established by an individual organization. Textile testing helps to establish scientific specification. Textile testing is also playing role in analysing the market requirements or consumer demand.
