Textile Testing lab is established with modern electronic textile testing instruments. The students are allowed to work on these instruments individually to carry out testing analysis of data and test result. The standard of training enables them to get placed in international labs. The list of some important
instruments are given below :-
1 | Micro Scope- | To view the cross sectional and longitudinal views of fibers |
2 | Baer sorter | To analyse the staple fiber length parameters |
3 | Lea strength Tester | To determine Lea breaking strength and CSP |
4 | Electronic Single yarn strength Tester- | For testing tenacity of yarns |
5 | Drape Meter- | For assessing Draping quality of fabrics. |
6 | GSM cutter with Electronic Balance- | For the determination of weight of fabrics in gram per square meter. |
7 | Abrasion and Pilling Tester- | For assessing abrasion and pilling Standards of upholstery materials. |
8 | Shirley Stiffness Tester- | Determination of fabric stiffness by measuring bending length |
