Method of shrinkage test of wool sweater

Sweater has excellent elasticity, warmth retention and hygroscopicity, soft luster and soft hand feel, but it also has disadvantages such as poor dimensional stability, easy wrinkling, and easy deformation. The dimensional stability of the sweater is the key to affecting the quality of the sweater. Generally, it can only be displayed after wearing and washing. It has a certain degree of concealment and directly affects the wearability of the sweater. The dimensional stability of sweaters can be effectively improved only by selecting appropriate yarn and organizational structure, determining a reasonable finished product density and rationally selecting a blank density. This article introduces the test method of sweater shrinkage, hoping to provide reference for manufacturers or textile testing departments. (For other textile functional testing programs, please go to: http://www.gnxcs.com/newslist/list-110-1.html) 1. Test samples of a certain brand of sweater fabrics 2.

Main standard FZ/T20010-1993 (Determination of Shrinkage of Wool Fabrics: Mild Household Laundry Method, GB/T 86294, research methods refer to national standard GB6259 Textiles The standard atmosphere for humidity adjustment and experiment was adopted, and household washing and drying procedures were adopted. Experimental steps: lay the sample flat on the workbench in the standard atmosphere to adjust the humidity for 24 hours, and lay the sample after humidity adjustment on the workbench without tension. On the stage, the distance between the measurement marks is accurate to 1 mm, and the sample is treated twice according to the 7A procedure specified in GB/T 8629. During the experiment, detergent is added, and the detergent should be fully dissolved in water at 30 °C. The sample was placed on the workbench without tension and placed in the air for 24 hours to measure the size. 5. The dimensional change of the sample before and after the test was recorded in the experimental results, and the shrinkage rate was calculated to evaluate the dimensional stability of the test. 6.

What Are the ISTA Standard Tests and ISTA Testing Equipment?
ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) standard tests are globally recognized transportation packaging test procedures designed to evaluate the safety and reliability of products and their packaging throughout the logistics chain. By simulating real-world transportation conditions such as drops, vibration, impact, stacking, and compression, ISTA testing helps identify potential packaging weaknesses before products enter large-scale distribution. ISTA testing equipment—including drop testers, vibration testers, incline impact machines, and compression testers—plays a critical role in accurately reproducing these conditions under laboratory settings. Proper selection and use of ISTA-compliant equipment enable manufacturers to reduce transportation damage, lower return costs, enhance packaging design, and improve customer confidence in product quality and logistics safety.
