Pocket Textile Testing & Quality Expert
Understand Textile Quality, before your ‘Container’ is rejected for bad Quality…! Don’t leave office without this Textile Book…

 

The long-awaited handbook devoted entirely to testing andquality-related issues of textiles; it provides a comprehensive and complete collection of topics related to textile testing and quality control. Beginning with an introduction to testing, the contents range from fiber testing to end-product audit and inspection, from light fastness to strength tests, from fabric GSM to garment pilling and so on. An extensive commentary and practical hints on these test methods, including photographs and illustrations, bring these concepts to life. Everyone must have a copy of this handbook if he or she works in the field of textiles.
