Types and Importance of Textile Testing
The most obvious reason for textile testing is that it allows companies, consumer groups and the government to make sure textiles are safe, of good quality, and that the customer is getting what they are paying for. Textile products are made around the world, and sent to markets around the world. Testing ensures that something harmful or illegal isn't slipping through the regulatory cracks.
Types of textile testing:
Textile testing can be classified according to the basic technique used and on the basis of the data obtained. The former can be divided into destructive and nondestructive testing, the latter being defined as the application of noninvasive methods to reach a conclusion as to the quality of a material, process, or product. In other words, it is inspection or measurement without doing damage to the test specimen. Examples include drape testing and assessment based on the Kawabata evaluation system. Destructive testing is performed to test for failure of the sample. This type of test is much easier to perform and yield precise information and is more simple to understand than nondestructive testing. Examples of destructive testing are tensile testing and tear testing.
On the basis of data obtained, testing can be classified into objective and subjective. The former can be defined as the testing that gives us quantitative data, which can be easily further processed and interpreted. Subjective testing can be defined as that which gives us qualitative data, which is difficult to interpret and is greatly influenced by operator bias.
Importance of textile testing:
Principle importance of textile testing are;
To ensure the product quality
To control the manufacturing process
For customer satisfaction and retention
Good reputation (brand image) among consumers
Testing importantly supports the personnel involved in the textile supply chain, from the textile fiber to the end product. The testing of textile products aids persons involved in the running of the production line.
During testing, the discrepancy of the product, for example, its strength, maturity, waste percentage (for fibers), aerial density, and weave design (for fabrics), is properly measured. Thus the selection of the proper raw material is an important factor. Standards of control should be maintained to reduce waste, minimize price, and so on. Faulty machine parts or improper maintenance of the machines can be easily detected with the help of textile testing. Improved, less costly, and faster protocols can be developed by researchers with the aid of testing. The efficiency and quality of the product can also be enhanced with the help of regular and periodic testing.
