List of Experiments / Activities
- 1Analysis of longitudinal and cross-sectional view of common textile fibres like cotton, wool, silk, jute, flax, viscose rayon, nylon, polyester, acrylic and polypropylene fibre etc. using microscopic methods.
- 2Analysis of textile fibers (as mentioned above) by Burning test.
- 3Identification of textile fibers (as mentioned above) by Solubility test.
- 4Measurement of relative humidity of a given environment.
- 5Measurement of standard Moisture regain% and standard Moisture content% of a given textile fibre.
- 6Analysis fibre composition% of a given binary/tertiary blends using chemical solubility methods.
- 7Analysis of given fabric sample in terms of epi, ppi, gsm, yarn count, twist, crimp%, weave identification etc (at least 4 different fabric samples to be analyzed by each student, i.e. plain, twill, satin and leno weave fabrics).
Course Objectives
- To get aware of various fibre identification techniques.
- To acquire knowledge on measurement of environmental conditions, moisture content etc.
- To develop competency in analyzing a given textile fibre blend.
- To identify the weave of a given fabric sample and analyze it for its reproducibility.
Course Outcomes (COs)
After completion of the course student will be able to:
- CO1Develop competency in systematically identifying an unknown textile fibre sample.
- CO2Understand the importance of environmental conditions and its effect on moisture content & other properties of a textile fibre.
- CO3Calculate the composition of the blend of given textile material.
- CO4Analyse the given fabric sample for its reproducibility.
