CEN/TC 248/WG 12 - Physical testing of knitted fabrics and garments
To develop standards for abrasion resistance of knitted footwear garments.
Physical testing of knitted fabrics and garments
To develop standards for abrasion resistance of knitted footwear garments.
General Information
This European Standard specifies test methods for the determination of stitch length and yarn linear density of a weft knitted fabric. They can be applied to warp knitted fabrics, if it is possible to de-knit the fabric.
The measurements will be applied to yarns from each knitting machine feeder and/or different patterning courses.
The results can be used for the analysis of fabric fault, e.g. barré analysis.
