TESTING
Testing-Introduction
Testing is critical for determining the quality of products, ensuring regulatory compliance,
and evaluating the performance of materials. It contains information on the
fabric/garment/trims physical or structural features as well as their performance properties.
Objectives of Testing:
Following are the objectives of testing-
Maintaining Product Quality
Maintaining Customer Satisfaction
Maintaining Brand Reputation
Maintaining Compliances
There are various number of tests that can be performed on the fabric for testing its physical
and chemical properties. Following are the tests that we are going to perform on our selected
garment.
1. Burning/Flammability Test
2. GSM Test
3. EPI & PPI Test
4. Crease Recovery Test
5. Fabric Tearing Strength Test
6. Tensile Strength Test
7. Color Fastness Test (Dry and Wet)
8. Fabric Thickness Test
Let us discuss each test in detail and analyze the test report of the garment for each test-
Burning Test:
The burning test on fabric is a quick method to identify fiber content by observing the burn
rate, smell, ash color, and residue when a small fabric sample is set on fire.
Procedure:
1. We have to cut the samples from the original fabric & sourced fabric sample.
2. Now these samples have to stick with the cello-tape on the slap and burnt with the
match-stick.
3. The smell of the fabric was to be observed to find out whether it was a natural fibre,
synthetic, or blend.
Observations:

8. Acrylic Fuses & Shrinks Burns Quickly Meat Burning
9. Poly-Cotton Shrink & Melts Burns Steady Burnt Paper
Observation Table:
S.No. Fiber Approach Flame Inflame Odor
1. Main Fabric Shrink & Melts Burns Steady Burnt Paper
2. Sourced Fabric Shrink & Melts Burns Steady Burnt Paper
Findings:
According to above observations both the samples are made up of poly-cotton.
Conclusion:
This test is a quick and effective way to identify general fiber types as we found that our
original fabric is a poly-cotton.
GSM Test:
Weight of the fabric is tested through GSM Test. GSM stands for grams per square meter of
fabric.
Apparatus Required:
1. GSM Cutter,
2. Weighting Balance
3. Fabric Sample
4. Cutting pad
Procedure:
STEP 1: Utilize the GSM cutter to cut the fabric. The sample fabric is cut of an area of 1 cm 2.
STEP 2: The electric balance is used to weigh the fabric.
Calculations:
For Original Fabric:
Weight: 1.22 g/cm2
GSM: 1.22 X 100
GSM: 122 g/m2
Conclusion:
This test helps to assess whether the fabric meets the required specifications for its intended
use or not.
EPI & PPI Test:
EPI and PPI are measurements of thread count in woven fabric. EPI measures the number
of warp threads per inch, while PPI measures the number of weft threads per inch. It is
used to determine the thread density of woven fabric and are used to determine the fabric's
quality, durability.
Apparatus Required:
1. Pick Glass/Magnifying Glass
2. Pointed Object (Pins)
Procedure:
STEP 1: Prepare the fabric sample
Ensure the fabric is flat and clean, with no distortions cut a small rectangular fabric sample
generally 2”X2” or larger from the fabric to be tested.
STEP 2: Identify the warp & weft
Warp thread runs lengthwise in the fabric, while the weft thread runs widthwise. Identify
these directions before starting the test.
STEP 3: Counting of EPI & PPI
Place the pick glass or magnifying glass with a scale over the fabric so that we can clearly see
warp and weft threads. Use the sharp object to help to separate and count the individual warp
thread within 1-inch. Record the no. of warp and weft threads of both sample within 1-inch.
STEP 4: Repeat for Accuracy
Count EPI & PPI at least three different locations on the fabric sample to ensure. Calculate
the average value for both EPI & PPI.
Observations:
Original Fabric:
1. EPI: 26
2. PPI: 46
Sourced Fabric:
1. EPI: 42
2. PPI: 24
Conclusion:
The EPI & PPI test gives a clear understanding of the fabric’s construction density.
Crease Recovery Test:
Crease Recovery refers to a fabric's capacity to return to its pre-crease state. In addition, we
can state that crease recovery is a quantitative indicator of crease resistance expressed in
terms of crease recovery angle. The construction, twist of the yarn, pressure, and other factors
all affect crease recovery. (Learner, 2012)
Apparatus Required:
1. Crease Recovery tester
2. Scissor
3. Weight
4. Fabric Sample
Technical Details of Crease Recovery Tester:
1. Size of the Test Specimen: 40mm X 15MM
2. Creasing Load: 1Kg (10N approx)
3. Angle Measurement: On an Engraved Circular Scale Graduated in 1 Degree
4. Scale Range: 0-180 Degree
5. Diameter of the scale disc: 160mm
6. Overall Dimension of Unit: (235 x 170 x 230) mm
7. Net Weight of the Unit: 8.3 Kg (18.26 lbs)
Procedure:
STEP 1: The cut size for the fabric sample is 4 cm by 1.5 cm.
STEP 2: The weight is removed after one minute, and the device is fastened onto the
wrinkled cloth.
STEP 3: It is then given time to heal from the crease. Depending on the type of crease, the
recuperation duration may change. Typically, it lasts one minute.
STEP 4: The instrument dial is turned to keep the specimen's free edge parallel to the knife
edge as the crease recovers.
STEP 5: The engraved scale is used to determine the recovery angle.
Observations:
Original Fabric Sourced Fabric
Warp Weft Warp Weft
Reading 88 ° 80 ° 91 ° 83 °
Actual Reading 100 °-88 °= 100 °-80 °= 100 °-91 °= 100 °-83 °=
12 ° 20 ° 9° 17 °
Conclusion:
The original fabric has better crease recovery weft-wise than sourced fabric.
Fabric Tearing Strength Test:
Tearing Strength is the fabric's ability to resist ripping or the amount of effort needed to
spread a tear after it has started. (StudyCenter, 2018)
Apparatus Required:
1. Elmendorf Tear Tester
2. Template for cutting Fabric Sample
3. Fabric Sample
100 mm
15 mm
75 mm
43 mm
Procedure:
STEP 1: Cut the fabric sample according to the template
STEP 2: The sample fabric is then transferred between the two clamps by raising the
pendulum to starting position.
STEP 3: The pendulum is then released to make the slit on the fabric.
STEP 4: The pointer attached to the pendulum shows the reading for the tearing force
directly.
Observations:
Original Fabric Sourced Fabric
Reading 7 9
Actual Reading 100-7 = 93 kgN 100-9 = 91 kgN
Conclusion:
Original fabric has less tearing strength than sourced fabric.
Tensile Strength Test:
The force required to stretch and fracture a sample is measured by tensile testing. The
strength and elasticity of woven, knitted, or nonwoven materials are assessed using this
method.
Apparatus Required:
1. Tensile Strength Tester
2. Scissor
3. Sample Fabric
Procedure:
STEP 1: Cut the fabric sample of the dimension 6” x 1” in both warp and weft direction.
STEP 2: Now, adjust the fabric sample in the machine.
STEP 3: Start the machine. Observe the sample. As soon as it gets a tear, stop the machine.
STEP 4: Write down the reading.
Observations:
Original Fabric Sourced Fabric
Warp Weft Warp Weft
Initial Length: Initial Length: Initial Length: Initial Length: 16.9
16.4 16.4 16.2 Final Length: 20.5
Final Length: Final Length: Final Length: 20.5 Peak: 31.4 kg
20.3 20.5 Peak: 14.7 kg
Peak: 11.2 kg Peak: 24.9 kg
Conclusion:
The tensile strength of the fabric in both wrap & weft direction will provide insight into its
durability and performance under stress. According to the observation sourced fabric have
more peak weft-wise.
Color Fastness Test (Dry & Wet):
The purpose of the color fastness to rubbing test is to evaluate how much color may transfer
from the surface of a colorful fabric to a designated test material for rubbing (which could be
dry and wet). (Learner, 2012)
Apparatus Required:
1. Digital Crockmeter
2. Sample Fabric
3. White Textile Blotting Paper.
4. Specimen Holder for Crockmeter.
Procedure:
STEP 1: Cut fabric sample of 19 cm x 14 cm.
STEP 2: Put the sample in the crockmeter. (Dry)
STEP 3: Fit the white blotting paper for rubbing.
STEP 4: Set the machine for a cycle of 10.
STEP 5: Do the same for the wet fabric.
Observations:
Dry Wet
Original Fabric 4.5 4
Sourced Fabric 4.5 4
Conclusion:
The color fastness of the fabric in both dry and wet conditions is evaluated based on the
degree of color transfer.
Fabric Thickness Test:
The thickness of any compressible material, including woven, knitted, and non-woven
fabrics, is determined by sandwiching a sample of the
material between two plane surfaces of an incompressible metal. The circular pressing plates'
surfaces are kept parallel to one another. The samples are examined at a particular pressure.
(Adviser, 2021)
Apparatus Required:
1. Fabric thickness tester.
2. Scissor
3. Sample Fabric
Procedure:
The specimen is maintained accurately under circular pressure. There shouldn't be any
wrinkles on the specimen. The pressure release lever applies
the specified pressure to the circular pressure foot. The specimen is subjected to a standard
pressure of 100 grams per square centimeter. According to the suggested standard, it might
change.
Observations:
Original Fabric Sourced Fabric
Reading (mm) 0,29 0.27
Thickness (mm) 0.29 mm 0.27 mm
Conclusion:
Therefore, the thickness of sourced fabric is less than that of original fabric.
