TEAR STRENGTH TEST The property of paper or fabric that is measured by the force required to tear it.Apparatus used – “Elemendo of” Tear Strength Tester Maximum Capacity 6400 Gms.Sample Size – Cut both warp and weft wise of size approximately 4”X3”.ReadingsObservation no.Weft Wise1.23% of 6400 gms2.23% of 6400 gms3.23% of 6400 gmsAverage = 23% of 6400 gmsObservation no.Warp Wise1.32% of 6400 gms2.32% of 6400 gms3.32% of 6400 gmsAverage= 32% of 6400 gms[pic 1]COLOURFASTNESS TO WASHINGColourfastness to washing is the ability of fabric to retain the dyes used to colour them when washed.Apparatus used – Laundrometer Grey scaleSample size – 10cm X 10cm (Main Fabric) 10cm X 10cm (Bleached Fabric X 2)ReadingsWeight of Swatch = 1.4 gmSolution Required = 70 gmGreyscale reading and Bleached fabric = 4/5ResultBased on the result of the colourfastness test, we can say that the fabric almost completely retained the dye when washed.[pic 2]COLOURFASTNESS TO CROCKINGCrocking is the process of transfer of colour from the surface of coloured textile material to other surface by rubbing.Apparatus used – CrockmeterSample Size – 8” X 3” (Main Fabric) 2” X 2” (Bleached White Fabric) For both dry and wet testReadings –Observation no.Grey Scale Reading (Dry)Grey Scale Reading (Wet)1.432.43Results –Fabric is resistant to high level in dry state and leaves no colour in dry state, whereas in wet condition, the fabric leaves very little colour and is low resistant to colourfastness in wet state.[pic 3]YARN COUNT TESTTo determine the count of yarn using Beesley Balance.
Apparatus used – “Beesley Balance”Sample Size – Swatches of size = 10cm X 10cmReadings –Observation no.WarpWeft1.80752.79763.8076Average – Warp = 80 Weft = 76[pic 4]TENSILE STRENGTH TESTTensile Strength is the maximum stress that a material can withstand which being stretched or pulled before failing or breaking.Apparatus used – “Ramp” Tensile Strength TesterSample Size- 8” X 2” (Warp X Weft)Readings –Observation no.Load (in N)Distance (in mm)1.12.5192.27.6193.11.520Average: – Load = 17.2 N Distance = 19 mm[pic 5]GSM TESTGSM Test is the metric measurement of the weight of the fabricApparatus used – Fuji Electric Precision BalanceSample Size- 3 samples of size 10cm X 10cmReadings –Observation no.Readings (in gms)1.89.62.90.23.88.6Average = 89.4 gms[pic 6]BURN TESTBurn Test is one of the most accepted methods for identifying the true nature of fabric. This test is carried out to know whether a fabric is made up of a natural fibre, man-made fibre or a blend. Sample Size- 8cm X 5cm
