Quality Control

Textile Testing

Textile Testing is the application of Engineering knowledge and science


to the measurement of properties and characteristics of and
conditioning affecting textile fibre, yarn and fabrics. It involves the use
of techniques, tools, instruments and machines in the laboratory for
evaluation of the properties of different forms of textiles.
WHAT IS QUALITY CONTROL?

❑Quality control is systematic control


of the variables in the manufacturing
process which affect the excellence
of the end product.
❑Quality control includes techniques
and systems for the achievement of
the required quality in the articles
produced and for the elimination of
substandard goods.
Objects of textile testing
-selection of raw materials
-process control
-product control
-process development
-product development
-specification test
-research
Objects of textile testing
1. Research: The results of testing in research will help the scientist to decide which route to follow
next. What appears to be sound theory is often disproved by experiment and other lines of
reasoning must then be pursued.

2. Selection of Raw material: Raw material is a relative term. The raw material of spinner is the fibre.
The raw material of the weaver is yarn and that of the finisher is cloth. There may be variation in their
quality.
–Fibres may be vary in length, Colour, fineness, and strength etc.
–Yarns may vary in count, strength, twist (TPI)
– Fabrics may vary in threads per inch. EPI, PPI, and shrinkage
– The testing of fibers is generally not so important when dealing with MMF because they are supplied
to customer’s requirements and their properties including length, colour and fineness are determined
and controlled during their manufacture.

Importance of textile testing

-To determine the properties & characteristics of fiber, yarn ,


fabric & end products.
-To compare the qualities of textile raw materials,
intermediate products or finished products.
-To maintain the standard established by different
organization or countries.(e.g., ISO, AATCC, ASTM etc)
-To meet market /consumer demand/standard.
-To improve quality & cost ratio.
-To control & improve processing technique.
-For research & developments.
WHAT ARE THE OBJECTIVES OF QUALITY
CONTROL?

1. To establish the desired quality standards which are acceptable to the


customers
2. To discover flaws or variations in the raw materials and the
manufacturing processes in order to ensure smooth and uninterrupted
production.
3. To evaluate the methods and processes of production and suggest further
improvements in their functioning.
4. To study and determine the extent of quality deviation in a product
during the manufacturing process.
5. To analyze in detail the causes responsible for such deviation.
6. To undertake such steps which are helpful in achieving the desired
quality of the product.

Types of testing
Usually two types as follows-

– Routine process testing: When testing results is obtained immediately after testing is
done.
– Quality record testing: Keeping the record of test results in order to perform various
tasks.
Relation between testing and quality control

In order to control the quality of a product, the results of


textile testing are applied. The attained result are evaluated
and analyzed to select the raw material and control of
products quality. These two parameters act together to
achieve desired quality.
Causes of lack of Reproducibility

-Variation in the material: Due to material property. Can be solved


by appropriate sample selection and accurate statistical methods.
-Variation caused by the test method: Occurs due to operator
problem. E.g. not proper caring, test procedures not accurately
followed etc. Or can be due to sample dimension, ambient conditions,
parameters and types of the machine
Typical tests for fiber, yarn & fabric***

–For fiber: Identification, fiber length, strength, trash, neps, maturity, fineness,
color (yellowness), Reflectance (Rd), MR, MC etc.
–For yarn: Linear density, strength, twist, hairiness, evenness & irregularity etc.
–For fabric: Length, width, weight, strength, thickness, crimp, air & water
permeability, crease, Drapability, Handle, Abrasion resistance, comfort properties,
color fastness test, dimensional properties, resiliency test etc, pilling, water
absorbency, shrinkage, EPI & PPI, fabric construction, Thermal properties etc.
Factors affecting test results**

The following factors may affect the test results of tested materials-
a. Sampling
b. Atmospheric condition during test
c. Method of test
d. Testing instruments used
e. The efficiency of technician
