Dimension Stability

Dimension Stability :

     Dimension Stability is the testing that done to find out exact shrinkage of the fabric. This can be obtained by doing testing on Garment or fabrics. Internationally we have a specific method to find the shrinkage. Many 3rd party testing agencies are conducting this test and we can easily do this test in our home by just washing. yes, just a washing machine is enough to find he shrinkage of the fabric or garment.

     Now, let us see the procedure to find the shrinkage of the fabric.

  1.  We need to measure the garments in length & width measurements.
  2.  After measuring the garments put it for washing.
  3.  After washing make it Flat dry or Hang dry
  4. After drying remove the wrinkles by just pressing by hot steam (Ironing).
  5.  Measure the same Length & width of the garment.
After doing the above steps we have to apply a simple formula to calculate the shrinkage. The formula for calculating the shrinkage.

 After wash - Before wash /  Before wash x 100


By applying the formula you can find the shrinkage of the Garment or Fabric.
