Fabric Style and Fabric Touch Tester

 

As people’s living standards improve, their requirements for life are also gradually increasing. Textile, an industry closely related to life, has also developed rapidly. In particular, the comfort of clothing or home textile products is one of the most important concerns for consumers. Therefore, a comprehensive study on the relationship between fabric mechanical properties and style is crucial. Fabric style is an important indicator for evaluating the quality of textile products, and it is also an important factor affecting textile sales. Consumers mainly judge product quality through touch and vision. Fabric hand feel is an important factor affecting fabric performance and one of the important evaluation indicators for the comfort of textiles and clothing. Therefore, textile hand style measuring instruments have always been a research direction of close concern in the field of textile science and technology. It has become an urgent need to quantitatively evaluate fabric hand style correctly, effectively and objectively.

Definition of fabric style

In a broad sense, fabric style refers to the comprehensive effect produced by the inherent properties and shapes of the fabric itself on human sensory organs. Such as touch, vision, hearing, etc. In a narrow sense, it refers to the comprehensive reflection of certain physical and mechanical properties of fabrics caused by the touch of human hands.

Evaluation method

There are subjective and objective evaluation methods for fabric hand style. The subjective evaluation method is to form a comprehensive feeling of fabrics through human senses, and evaluate the hand characteristics and style of fabrics based on personal subjective scoring, sorting, description, statistics, analysis, and judgment. This method is the basis for evaluating the hand style of fabrics and is also the most basic and original method for evaluating the hand style of fabrics. However, this method has two shortcomings. First, the subjective evaluation method cannot eliminate subjective arbitrariness. Second, the subjective evaluation method lacks quantitative description. In order to overcome the shortcomings of subjective assessment methods,objective assessment methods came into being.
The objective evaluation method of fabric hand style refers to obtaining the physical and geometric quantities related to the fabric through instrument testing, and based on the sensory evaluation, establishing certain quantitative standards to evaluate the fabric, and making judgments on the hand style characteristics of the fabric. evaluate. This method overcomes the shortcomings of subjective evaluation methods and is now the main method for fabric hand style evaluation.

Fabric Touch Tester

The Fabric Touch Tester, also named the Comprehensive Handle Evaluation System for Fabric and Yarn, measures skin touch properties by simulating hand touch fabric movements of tensile, compression, pinch, knead, bending, compression, friction, tension, getting the indices of softness, stiffness, smoothness, and tightness, and objectively evaluating the hand and touch feel of fabrics.

Combing Process in Spinning

Image
Before processing cotton, wool, and silk fibers into fabrics, the process of removing impurities and short fibers in the fibers with a combing machine is called combing. The texture, washability and durability of the fabric produced through this process are greatly improved compared with carded fabrics. The following introduces the composition of the combing machine and the combing process. The kinematic coordination relationship of the main parts on the combing machine is indicated by a dial. The disc is mounted on the combing machine and rotates synchronously with the cylinder, which is generally called the indexing disc. The index plate is divided into 40 equal parts along the circumference, and each equal part is 9°, which becomes one index. The working cycle refers to the time interval between the combing cylinder of the intermittent combing machine corresponding to the two actions of combing the whiskers. That is: the first row of needles in the combing cylinder goes to the botto

Twist Test Methods and Influencing Factors

Image
  Twist test is an important part of yarn inspection. It is related to the strength, elongation, appearance, style, etc. of yarns and fabrics. Different yarns have different structural characteristics, and their twist testing methods are also different. Basic concept To understand twist testing, you must first understand what twisting is. Twisting is a necessary condition for yarn formation. Short fibers can be made into yarns with certain physical and mechanical properties through twisting; filaments often need to be twisted in order to increase the tightness between single filaments, facilitate processing, and improve fabric properties. Number of twists Twisting is to cause two cross-sections of parallel straight fiber slivers to rotate relative to each other. The number of relative rotations of the two cross-sections is called the number of twists. Twist Twist refers to the number of twists per unit length of yarn . Twist coefficient In actual production, the twist coefficient is of

Garment Dyeing-Special Dyeing Method In Textile

Image
Garment dyeing is a relatively special dyeing process for textiles and garments. Many people may not know much about this dyeing process. In the impression of most people, textile and clothing products are dyed in the fabric period, and garment dyeing is a dyeing process that breaks people’s cognitive limitations on textile dyeing. ​What is garment dyeing ​Garment dyeing means that dyeing the one not in the fabric type but in the garment type itself. The garment type mentioned above include socks, towels, sportswear, shirts, plush toys (without fillers), T-shirts, pants, bathrobes, handkerchiefs, bath mats, carpets, scarves, etc. The material of these garments can be wool, linen, silk and cotton of natural fibers. But most garments are made of cotton or a cotton-rich blends. Garment dyeing imparts vibrant colors to garments. The clothes such as denim garments, tops, sportswear and casual clothing with garment dyeing can provide a distinctive special effect. Garment dyeing method Garmen
