How Shrinkage Testing beneficial for Textile Industries?

Now, marked fabrics are washed, dry-cleaned, dried as per the procedure, and the calibrated scale is placed on marks in each direction. The calibrated scale indicates, percentage shrinkage stretch, a minimum of three readings are collected for accurate results. Shrinkage templates directly measure shrinkage without any markings and calculation errors. The shrinkage testing machine of Amith Garments comes with a calibration certificate along with the user manual. The Shrinkage testing templates have got slots in both vertical and horizontal directions, and, are placed on the fabric; the fabric should be in a flat position before marking. Shrinkage templates of Shrinkage testing machines should be held firmly and marking is to be made on all the slots with the help of a marking pen that goes inside the slot. Shrinkage is nothing but fabric becoming smaller than its original size, usually after washing, drying, or when exposed to an evaluated temperature. Cotton fabrics undergo two main disadvantages of creasing and shrinking during subsequent washing. Shrinkage is seen, in length or it may be in width.
