By testing the performance of textiles, manufacturers can ensure that their textiles can meet the high expectations of the market, and that they have enough strength and flexibility to complete their design work. Common test types for textiles, fabrics, cloth and some fibers include resistance Resistance, compressive strength, tensile strength, puncture resistance and air permeability, thickness, coefficient of friction, etc.　　　　Many types of these tests can be performed on high-precision testing machines. The general testing standards for textiles include: 　　　　ASTMD737 Standard Test Method for Air Permeability of Textile Fabrics.　　　　ASTMD1777-Standard Test Method for Thickness of Textile Materials.　　　　ISO9237-Determine the permeability of fabrics to air.　　　　ISO6452-coated fabric-determination of fogging characteristics or decorative materials inside the car.　　　　ASTMD1424-A drop pendulum (Elmendorf type) device is a standard test method for the tear strength of fabrics.　　　　ASTMD2256-Standard test method for measuring the tensile properties of yarns by the single-thread method.　　　　ASTMD5587- Trapezoid method to determine the standard test method of fabric tearing strength.

At the same time, as the recent research of GESTER shows, the benefits of improved productivity and firm performance can make implementing basic management practices worth it.

Analysis of Pilling Influencing Factors and Testing Methods

Pilling testing plays a vital role in textile quality control, helping manufacturers evaluate and improve the wear performance of fabrics. Through the use of advanced instruments like ICI Pilling Box Test Method (GT-C18) , Martindale Abrasion Test Method (GT-C13B) , and Random Tumble Pilling Test Method (GT-C19A) , laboratories can conduct precise and standardized assessments, ensuring that final textile products deliver superior appearance, comfort, and longevity.

What Are the Types of Color Fastness Testing for Fabrics?

Color fastness testing evaluates how well fabrics resist fading or bleeding under conditions like washing, rubbing, light exposure, and perspiration. Key tests include rubbing fastness, washing fastness, light fastness, perspiration fastness, and sublimation fastness. These tests ensure textiles maintain color integrity, prevent health risks, and meet quality standards. Learn about different testing methods and equipment used in the textile industry.

What is a Light Fastness Tester?

A Light Fastness Tester accelerates material aging by simulating sunlight (xenon lamps) and moisture to predict long-term durability. Used in textiles, automotive, plastics, and more, it follows AATCC TM 16, ISO 105-B02, and ASTM standards. Features include real-time light control, temperature/humidity regulation, and energy-efficient testing.
