Introduction: |
|
| |
The property of a fabric which enables it to recover from folding deformations is called as Wrinkle Recovery Tester. The HIROSHIMA Wrinkle Recovery Tester is used for determining the appearance of textile fabrics after induced wrinkling. It is applicable to fabrics made from any fibre or combinations of fibre. However, until recently separate estimation of fineness and maturity were possible only through laborious procedures using conventional methods. |

The use of the simple air-flow method was capable of providing only the micronaire value (Mc) which is influenced by both fineness and maturity. Considerable work has, therefore, been going on in various research laboratories to modify the air-flow method to make it capable of providing separate estimates of fineness and maturity. The fineness tester has been modified5,6 to obtain independent estimates of fineness and maturity. A separate estimation of fineness would help in deciding the spinning limit of cotton and in getting an accurate prediction of yarn strength from fibre characteristics. The estimates of maturity would help in the detection and avoidance of immature cottons which are prone to neppiness and dyeing problems. |

A test specimen is wrinkled under standard atmospheric conditions in a standard wrinkling device under a pre-determined load for a prescribed period of time. The specimen is reconditioned in the standard atmosphere for textile testing and evaluated for appearance by comparison with 3-dimensional reference standards |

The equipment consists of a Base with a Stand. At the base of the stand a fixed flange is fitted with a top flange which is moveable and attached with a locking pin. The instrument also comprises of three weights of 500, 1000 and 2000 g. The appearance of the specimen is compared against an optional photographic scale which can be procured separately and is not included with the above equipment. |
