Woodhead Textiles Series No. 10
This book examines the physical testing of textiles in the form of fibre,
yarn and fabric, the emphasis throughout eing on standard and reproducible
tests. After an introductory explanation of sampling and measurement, the author
explores the effects of moisture on textiles, then goes on to discuss fibre
dimension, yarn tests for linear density, twist, evenness and hairiness, tensile
strength, and dimensional stability and serviceability. Also covered are aspects
of comfort and fabric handle, colour fastness and quality assurance. The book’s
comprehensive coverage of the physical properties of textiles makes it an
essential reference for managers in the textiles industry concerned with quality
assurance, garment and fabric technologists, and students of textile science and
engineering.
