The test method describes methods for determination of strength of attachment of press-studs (poppers), jeans buttons, rivets and snap fasteners to garments.
PRINCIPLE
A
sample is taken from the garment, consisting of a sandwich of several fabric
layers, through which a press-stud (popper) has been applied. This is subjected
to a known load, applied in such a way that the two halves of the press-stud
component are pulled in opposing directions, thus tending to prise the two
halves apart. Male and female halves of the press-stud are tested separately.
APPARATUS
Tensile testing device of the constant rate of elongation type, capable of determining the applied load to +/- 5% accuracy at a rate of traverse 50+ mm/minute.
Preparation of test specimens and materials (removal from the garment): Cut a parallel strip of fabric from the garment that contains a single male or female press-stud so that the press stud component is positioned centrally on a fabric strip approximately 30mm wide by 150mm long.
TEST PROCEDURE
Condition for a minimum of 4 hours at 65+/- 2%rh and a temperature of 20+/- 2 degrees
Testing must take place in a conditioned environment.
Grip the specimen in the jaws of the tensile test device. Determine the force to remove the press stud component.
Test a minimum of ten male and ten female components.
REPORT
Report the average press-stud removal force (in Newtons) for the 10 male components separate from the 10 female components.
Report the minimum press-stud removal force (in Newtons) for the male and female components separately.
Report if the fabric has broken down and if so at what force, even if the press-stud has not been removed.
Incomplete Heat-Setting-
Definition and Causes
With synthetic knit and woven fabrics and with fabrics containing Spandex yarns, a complete Thermo-fixing process must take place.
This is done to ensure that after finishing a dimensionally stable fabric is produced and prevents the fabric to exhibit wrinkles and edge curling.
This is normally done by exposing the surface of the fabric to temperatures of 360-380 degrees Fahrenheit for a certain period of time (dwell time).
This dwell time will be dependant on type of fabric, percentage of the Spandex yarn and the size of the heating chambers.
In certain cases in order to prevent heat damage a small quantity of wetting/penetrant type of chemicals need to be added in the Pad tank.
Preventive Suggestions
All technical aspects of the heat-setting process must be
examined and appropriate steps need to be taken.
Corrective Measures:A refinishing at a higher than the original temperature will
be required.
Excessive Over-Feed and Under-Feed-
Definition and Causes
During the drying process the control and stabilizing fabric’s weight (Yield) is an important function.
This is, normally, done by devices known as Over-feed (or under-feed) rollers and wheels.
In knit fabrics to increase the weight, these devices are made to increase the density of the knitted courses across the width of the fabric in a uniform and precise way.
This is referred to as Over-feeding and its excessive use will cause severe crease lines on the selvedge of the fabric on both sides.
To decrease the weight, a reverse action takes place. Excessive use of this Under-feed action will cause the fabrics to develop severe creases, particularly, in the middle portion.
These problems do not appear in woven fabrics.
Preventive Suggestions:A correct and precise method of finishing, based on the type
of fabric must be used.
Corrective Measures:With cotton fabrics, a refinishing at a correct measure of under-feed or over-feed will correct the problem.
Conclusion
With synthetic fabrics, a rewashing of the fabric at pressurized conditions and at high temperatures will be necessary for Tensile Testing Device

Fabric Defect Manual
Introduction
Controlling fabric’s quality in large scale Fabric
production facilities has always been a challenging task. Throughout the
production process, there are always new and re-occurring defects that can
unexpectedly appear on the fabric causing production loss and delays.
It is important to realize, however, that most of the
defects can be prevented and/or corrected.
The first and the most important step in taking preventive
or remedial actions is to determine the nature and the cause of the problem.
The ability to make this determination quickly and to take
the appropriate action is an integral part of any Fabric quality control set-up
and can be a great tool for minimizing production loss time and maximizing
productivity.
The following is a summarized review of the most common
defects/problems associated with each area of fabric production process from
yarns to printing.
For each, a brief description, preventive suggestions and
corrective measures are offered.
Additional detailed description and related technical information
are available if required.
General Descriptions, Guidelines, and Recommendations
Knitting Related Defects/Problems
Torque-
Definition and Causes:
This problem which predominantly occurs with single Jersey
fabrics can not easily be seen in the fabric form. However, if the fabric is
constructed with an inherent Torque, once sewn in to garments and after the
first wash a distortion in the side seams position appears.
This is mainly attributed to yarn twist, and the knitting
machine diameter size.
Higher twist levels, finer yarns (36/1, 40/1, 50/1, etc.),
and large diameters normally produce more Torque.
Preventive Suggestions:
With lighter weight fabrics, in order to completely
eliminate Torque, the use of alternate S and Z twist yarn cones on the knitting
machine is recommended.
This, however, is a costly method. The more practical way would
be to use yarns with minimum workable twist levels;
to use smaller diameter machines and finally to knit the fabric with a cut
line.
Corrective Measures:
With fabrics having higher measures of Torque an adjustment
in the marker may be the only solution.
Barre Lines-
See yarn Barre in section 1- G
Needle Lines-
Definition and Causes:
The open vertical lines along the Wales lines in a double
knit structure is normally caused by the mal-function of the needle’s latch,
accumulation of oil-soaked lint and the incorrect alignment of the cam tracks.
Preventive Suggestions:
Regular maintenance and upkeep of the machine elements, and
in particular, replacing the needles on a regular basis, are essential.
Corrective Measures:
For this problem, no corrective measures are available.
Sinker Lines-
Definition and Causes:
The open vertical lines along the Wales lines in a single
knit structure is normally caused by the miss-timing of the Sinker elements, broken
Sinker tips, accumulation of oil-soaked lint and the incorrect alignment of the
cam tracks.
Preventive Suggestions:
Regular maintenance and upkeep of all machine elements is
essential.
Corrective Measures:
For this problem no corrective measures are available.
Loop and Stitch Length Variations-
Definition and Causes:
Certain plain single knit structures, especially those with
looser stitches and at lower tension levels, are more susceptible to stitch
length variation. This can be seen on the fabric as a cluster of irregularly
shaped loops where loops appear to have different lengths.
This is usually caused by the variation in the bending
properties of the yarns.
It could also be due to the variation in the coefficient of
friction between the yarns and the elements with which they come into contact with.
Preventive Suggestions:
The use of Yarn Evenness Tester and yarn with sufficient non-silicone lubricants is strongly recommended.

Missed cut-Line or Knitted Selvage-
Definition and Causes:
In the process of circular knitting and in some
constructions a cut-line, along the knitted Wales and throughout the entire
length of the roll is created.
The purpose is to facilitate a straight slitting of the
fabric during the transformation of the fabric from a tubular to open width
form.
The creation of this cut line is normally done by
disengaging 2 or 3 needles at the knitting zone.
Some knitters, on the other hand, prefer to use a different knit stitch (usually a Pique) to make a distinctive cut-line of Crease Recovery Tester
During the Slitting process this distinctive cut-line must
be followed precisely to minimize any damages or working losses.
In certain cases due to equipment failure (optical sensors)
or lack of due attention the cut line is missed creating an unwanted line in
different areas on the fabric.
Preventive Suggestions:
Knitters must make sure that the inserted cut-lines are
distinctive and quite visible.
This becomes especially important in darker colors since in
these colors, lines have a tendency to become less visible.
Operator training and equipment maintenance and upkeep are
equally important.
Corrective Measures:
For this defect, once it is created, there are no corrective
measures available.
Incorrect Selvage Gumming and Trimming-
Definition and Causes:
In order to easily and flatly spread layers of a single
jersey fabric on the cutting table, it is necessary to apply a thin layer of
Gum and then trim the naturally curled selvedges.
This is done in the drying stage and the following are some
of the common defects that are associated with this process:
The inconsistent thickness or a variation in the viscosity
of the gumming chemical causing stickiness in the selvedge areas.
Uncut portions due to defective trimming devices leaving
strands of loose fabrics.
Any of these problems would make spreading of the fabric on
the cutting table difficult.
Preventive Suggestions:
The gumming chemicals which are normally PVA based need to
be of Low-Medium viscosity profile. Correct dilution and continuous agitation
in the preparation stage, to avoid coagulation, are important and need to be
closely monitored.
Corrective Measures:
In severe cases, to correct the unevenness of the gummed
areas, a scour process to remove the gum and a re-gumming application will correct
the defect.
It is to be noted that re-trimming will not be required since this will affect the cuttable width of the fabric by using Crease Recovery Tester

Finishing Related Defects and Problems
Softener Spots-
Definition and Causes:
This is caused by one or combination of the following:
Undesolved softener particles or lumps deposited on the
fabric during the padding Process of the Tenter Frame
Mixing chemically incompatible softeners, i.e., Cat-ionic
and An-ionic softeners with Silicone softeners and the resulting coagulation of
the molecules and their deposit on the fabric
The use of Silicone softeners having high solid contents
without the use of Acetic Acid
Preventive Suggestions:
When using softeners, all technical aspects need to be
considered.
Corrective Measures:
With Silicone spots, there are no fully effective processes available. This is due to the fiber reactive nature of these types of softeners and the bond formation process that takes place.
Conclusion
With other types of softeners, a strong alkali rinse will be effective in removing the spots. Hydrostatic Head Tester is sold by us
