___________ Signature
and printing processes) normally meet the most common standard for dry rubbing fastness (grade 4 on the grey scale for staining of adjacent fibers). By contrast, wet rubbing fastness remains a major problem for deep shades. The maximum wet rubbing fastness grade obtained for many dyeing and prints in deep shades such as black, navy and Bordeaux is only 2. The reason for the low wet rubbing fastness of dyeing and prints on cellulosic fibers is that the fibers split into fine fibrils which break off during fastness testing. This results in poor rubbing fastness values. Poor rubbing fastness results are even obtained for reactive dyes, which form a genuine chemical bond with the fiber and thus cannot be split off by rubbing. Even if unfixed reactive dyes are washed off properly after dyeing or printing and the other wet fastness properties meet the specifications set, rubbing fastness tends to be low. The results of rubbing fastness tests are affected by variety of factors, even if the test unit and adjacent fabric comply with the standards set. Factors influencing the outcome include type of fiber stability of the textile material surface structure of the yarn or fabric dyestuff class dyeing or printing process and depth of shade type of pretreatment type of after treatment type of finish moisture content

Responsibility
1. 2. 3. Assistant Manager QAD is responsible to overall manage the physical testing in the Quality Assurance Department. Lab In-charge is responsible to monitor the physical testing in the Quality Assurance Department. Lab Assistant is responsible to perform the physical testing in the Quality Assurance Department.
Sample preparation
Before doing any of the physical testing, Lab Assistant conditions each specimen for at least 4 hours in an atmosphere of 21+10C(70+20F) and 65+2% RH by laying each test specimen on a screen or perforated shelf of a conditioning rack.
1: Width:
Finished width is checked with the help of measuring tapes. Lab Assistant checks the width from two or three places and then take their average. This average value indicates the finished width of the fabric.
1. Dimensional stability (length wise and width wise shrinkage). A. Sample preparation:
1. 2. 3. Lab Assistant marks test specimen with three pairs of benchmarks (35 cm each) parallel to the width as well as to the length of the fabric. The marks are in the form of square, so these are marked as ABCD Measure and record the distance between each pair of benchmarks. This is the original measurement or measurement X.
B. Washing:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Lab Assistant places the specimens in the wash wheel with sufficient ballast or other fabrics similar to test specimens to make appropriate weight. Add 66+1 g of 1993 AATCC Standard Reference Detergent/ ECE Reference Detergent (as per buyers recommendations). Lab Assistant starts the wash wheel and notes the time. Immediately he adds water at 41+30C(105+50F) to the wash wheel to a certain level. Washing test is performed as per Washing tests for Dimensional Stability (F/STD/QAD/4.10/1).
28
C. Drying:
Lab Assistant adopts one of the following procedures for drying, as per buyers requirement.
1. Tumble Dry:
Lab Assistant allows washing to proceed automatically through the final spin cycle. He removes the test specimens immediately after the final spin cycle, separates tangled pieces, and taking care to minimize distortion. Lab Assistant places the washed load (test specimens and ballast) in the tumble dryer and set the temperature control to generate the correct exhaust temperature. He operates the dryer until the total load is dry. Lab Assistant then removes the load immediately after the machine stops.
2. Line Dry:
Lab Assistant allows washing to proceed automatically through the final spin cycle. He removes the test specimens immediately after the final spin cycle, separates tangled pieces, and taking care to minimize distortion. Lab Assistant hangs each specimen by two corners, with the fabric length in the vertical direction, on the rope. He then allows the test specimens to hang in still air at room temperature until dry.
3. Screen Dry:
4. Drip Dry: Lab Assistant removes the specimens from the washer just before the water begins to drain for the final rinse cycle (he removes specimens soaking wet). He hangs each dripping wet specimen by two corners, with the fabric length in the vertical direction, on the rope. He then allows the test specimens to dry in still air at room temperature. Lab Assistant allows washing to proceed automatically through the final spin cycle. He removes the test specimens immediately after the final spin cycle, separates tangled pieces, and taking care to minimize distortion. Lab Assistant spreads each specimen on a horizontal screen or perforated surface removing wrinkles but not distorting or stretching it. He then allows the test specimens to dry in still air at room temperature.
5. Flat Bed Press Dry: Lab Assistant allows washing to proceed automatically through the final spin cycle. He removes the test specimens immediately after the final spin cycle, separates tangled pieces, and taking care to minimize distortion. Lab Assistant presses dry on the flatbed press according to the following cycle:
29
a) b) c) d)
Five seconds steam with head up. Five seconds dry hot press with head down, 148+30C (298+50F) of steam pressure at the press. Five seconds vacuum, steam off, head down. Five seconds vacuum, steam off, head up.
D. Conditioning:
After the completed washing and drying interval, Lab Assistant pre-condition and condition specimens for at least four hours by laying each specimen separately on the screen or perforated shelf of a conditioning rack in an atmosphere of 21+10C(70+20F) and 65+2% RH.
E. Measurement:
F. After conditioning, Lab Assistant lays each test specimen without tension on a smooth, horizontal surface. He measures and records the distance between each pair of benchmarks to the nearest millimeter, 0.1in. Or smaller increment. This is called measurement Y.
Calculations:
Lab Assistant calculates the dimensional change for each specimen to the nearest 0.1% using following equation: % Dimensionnel Change = (Y-X) x 100 X
Where: X = The average of three or four original measurements for the length wise or width wise direction in the specimen. Y= The average of three or four measurements after cycle completed for the length wise or width wise direction in the specimen.
G. Results:
A final measurement smaller than the original measurement results in the negative dimensional change which is SHRINKAGE. A final measurement larger than the original measurement results in the positive dimensional change which is GROWTH or NEGATIVE SHRINKAGE.

3: Theory: The burning test places fibers into one of four categories, cellulosic, protein, thermoplastic or mineral. Although the accompanying table describes the burning characteristics of individual fibers, the burning test alone is not sufficient to identify precisely a specific fiber. It will classify a fiber as cellulosic but will not distinguish clearly between cotton and viscose. It should be noted that flame retardant modifications of some fibers cotton, rayon, acetate and modacrylic for example are available. Burning is retarded; odour on burning and ash may be changed. Colored fibers, especially those colored by pigments will retain color in the residue. 4: PROCEDURE: 4.1. 4.2. 4.3. 4.4. 4.5. 4.6. 4.7. Cut off a small sample of fabric around 1 square inch. Hold the piece of fabric in a pair of tweezers Move the tweezers towards a small flame Observe the way the fibers behave as they approach the flame, because some shrink away, soften or curl Observe the burning behavior in the flame like if it burn quickly slowly) Observe the odour of burning Observe the persistence of burning after the sample is withdrawn from the flame.
