Applied Lab offers several Construction Analysis tests which assist with better understanding a fabric’s construction. Whether the fiber contents are unknown or other aspects of the construction are in question – Applied Lab has you covered with tests to ensure there are no mysteries regarding the construction of your fabric.
AATCC 20A
Method for the quantitative determination of moisture content, nonfibrous content and fiber composition of textiles.
Note: Full repeat requires a minimum of 18". For construction analysis, if multiple tests are requested, all can be performed using the full repeat (minimum 18") x full width requirement.
ASTM D1423
Method for the determination of the amount and direction of twist at the completion of any stage of twisting in single (spun or filament), plied, cabled, or novelty (exclusive of long-term repeat patterns) yarns.
Note: Full repeat requires a minimum of 18". For construction analysis, if multiple tests are requested, all can be performed using the full repeat (minimum 18") x full width requirement.
ASTM D1059
A quick method used for the determination of the approximate yarn number of short-length specimens taken from packages or fabrics
Note: Full repeat requires a minimum of 18". For construction analysis, if multiple tests are requested, all can be performed using the full repeat (minimum 18") x full width requirement.
Yarn Filament count
A quick method used for the determination of the approximate yarn number of short-length specimens taken from packages or fabrics
Note: Full repeat requires a minimum of 18". For construction analysis, if multiple tests are requested, all can be performed using the full repeat (minimum 18") x full width requirement.
