How to test absorbency of a fabric. - Download as a PDF or view online for free
This document provides an overview of testing the absorbency of fabrics. It defines absorbency as a material's ability to soak up liquid and describes various tests used to measure a fabric's absorbency, including immersion, drop, spot, and wicking/column tests. These tests measure factors like how quickly a fabric can capture and hold water. The document also compares the absorbency of natural cotton versus synthetic nylon, noting that cotton is more absorbent due to its molecular structure. Standard procedures for absorbency testing from AATCC and ASTM are described.
