Objective: 
  1. To develop an understanding of methods and techniques used to analyze textile fibre, yarns and fabrics for end-use performance.
  2. To acquire knowledge and understanding of various structural properties of textiles and relate to end use fabric performance and product.
  3. To be able to analyze and interpret the results and predict the general textile testing.

 

 

  1. Moisture Relation testing – use of oven and hygrometer, determination of oven dry weight.                                                                                                                              10Hrs
  2. Physical testing of yarn – Count, Twist, Crimp, Strength.                                                                                                                                                                                               35 Hrs    
  3. Physical testing of fabric- Thread count, Thickness, Abrasion, Stiffness, Drapability, Crease Recovery, Pilling, Tensile strength, Air permeability and Water Percolation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                35Hrs
