Application of Electronics in Fabric Testing Instruments in Textile

The electronics techniques have entered through many fields. In textile industry many electronic components are used and many instruments and machines are fitted with electronic measurement techniques. In this paper fabric testing instruments fitted with electronic components are discussed. How those instruments are working could be found from electronics literature. The working of instruments for determining quality particulars of fabric, fabric tensile strength, seam strength, tear strength, abrasion tester, pill box, drape tester, fabric stiffness, air permeability tester, water repellency tester are discussed. Using these techniques hard calculations are avoided and quick results are obtained. Study of these techniques can be included in the syllabus of new students and it will enhance the knowledge and understanding of subjects and unnecessary training in industry could be lessened.
