Abstract

There is a variety of methods and standards for measuring bending properties of fabrics. Some of them are based on fabric deformation under its own weight, the other are based on measurements of force, moment or energy producing bending deformation. In this study the comparison of the bending results obtained on two widely accepted methods (KES-FB and FAST) and one novel instrument (TH 7) is presented, using fabrics with different finishing treatment and fabrics differing in weave type. Linear dependencies are obtained between the bending rigidity and stiffener concentration in FAST, KES-FB and TH 7 experiments as well as between bending hysteresis values and stiffener concentration in KES-FB and TH 7 experiments. Good correlations were defined comparing parameters obtained by three different methods, such as bending rigidity, bending hysteresis and coercive couple.

Keywords
