TEXTILE FABRIC ELASTICITY DETERMINING METHOD Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: textile industry. SUBSTANCE: method involves drawing bisecting line from right angle defined by edge and cutting line; bending this angle along bisecting line till close contact with fabric surface; shifting free lying apex of angle along bisecting line in backward direction till the moment apex of angle is separated from fabric surface, and simultaneously fixing terminating contact point on fabric; measuring coordinates of mentioned point and evaluating elasticity of textile material from measured coordinates. Method allows elasticity of any material used for manufacture of clothing to be measured. EFFECT: increased efficiency and simplified method. 6 dwg, 1 tbl, 1 ex
