Knitted socks and hosiery dimensional change evaluation
The evaluation of dimensional stability and shrinkage in knitted socks and hosiery is a critical aspect of quality control, ensuring that products meet the high standards expected by consumers. Dimensional changes can significantly affect the fit and comfort of these garments, making it essential for manufacturers to monitor this parameter throughout the production process.
Knitted socks and hosiery undergo various stages from yarn selection to final manufacturing, each influencing their dimensional stability. Understanding how environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and washing procedures impact shrinkage is crucial. In this evaluation service, we employ advanced instrumentation that simulates real-world usage conditions to provide accurate measurements of the garments’ dimensional changes.
Our process begins with careful selection and preparation of test samples. These samples are cut from production batches ensuring they represent the end product accurately. The specimens are then subjected to controlled environmental conditions, including temperature and humidity cycles, mimicking typical domestic washing environments. After conditioning, the garments undergo precise measurements using sophisticated equipment designed for textile testing.
Accurate measurement tools play a pivotal role in this evaluation process. Instruments like digital calipers and laser measurement systems ensure precision down to micrometers, providing reliable data on any changes in dimensions after exposure to washing or other stressors. This data is then compared against established standards such as ISO 13938-4:2017 for袜子
