Textile Analysis Lab

List of Experiments / Activities

1. 1Analysis of longitudinal and cross-sectional view of common textile fibres like cotton, wool, silk, jute, flax, viscose rayon, nylon, polyester, acrylic and polypropylene fibre etc. using microscopic methods.
2. 2Analysis of textile fibers (as mentioned above) by Burning test.
3. 3Identification of textile fibers (as mentioned above) by Solubility test.
4. 4Measurement of relative humidity of a given environment.
5. 5Measurement of standard Moisture regain% and standard Moisture content% of a given textile fibre.
6. 6Analysis fibre composition% of a given binary/tertiary blends using chemical solubility methods.
7. 7Analysis of given fabric sample in terms of epi, ppi, gsm, yarn count, twist, crimp%, weave identification etc (at least 4 different fabric samples to be analyzed by each student, i.e. plain, twill, satin and leno weave fabrics).
