Fabric Stiffness Tester
Fabric Stiffness Tester
Fabric Stiffness Tester is a lab instrument used to measure the stiffness or flexural rigidity of fabric materials. It evaluates how resistant a fabric is to bending, which influences its drape, comfort, and handling characteristics. Purpose of Fabric Stiffness Tester: To determine the stiffness of textiles by measuring the bending length and calculating flexural rigidity, often using methods like the Cantilever Test (as per ASTM D1388 or ISO 9073-7). Working Principle of Fabric Stiffness Tester: A fabric strip is slid over a horizontal platform until its free end bends under its own weight to a specific angle (usually 41.5°).
