Textile Testing

The first fork in textile testing is simple: is the material still moving, or has it come to rest? A yarn running through a winder, warp or knitting machine has to be read live, on the machine, and under one set of standards; a cut fabric specimen, a wound package or a prepared print screen is checked at rest, against another. The two almost never fold into a single purchase. Decide which state your material is in, and the correct instrument follows from that single call.
1. Measurement Contexts
- Yarn Measurement while the yarn is still moving through winding, warping, knitting or weaving, for speed, length, consumption and running-tension checks.
- Fabric and Material Testing once the material is off the machine, for cut-and-weigh area weight, wound-package firmness and prepared-screen tension.
2. Related Knowledge Resources
The methods behind these checks — how each measurement actually works — are described in Textile Testing.
