Fabric is the material used to make clothing. Good quality control of fabric is an important part of controlling the quality of finished products. The inspection and determination of incoming fabrics can effectively improve the authenticity rate of clothing. Fabric testing includes two aspects: appearance quality and intrinsic quality. On the appearance, it mainly inspects whether the fabric has damage, stain, weaving defect, color difference and so on. The sand washed fabric should also pay attention to whether there are sand washing defects such as sand channel, dead pleats and drapes. Defects that affect appearance need to be marked with marks during inspection, and avoid use when cutting. The intrinsic quality of fabric mainly includes shrinkage, color fastness and gram weight. Fabric testing services, the main test items include: pH value, rubbing color fastness, fire resistance, water resistance, stretch, washability inspection, etc.
