- Threads Count Test: The number of threads per unit length of fabric. Testing Method: IS 1963-1981.
- Dimensional Change of Fabric Test: The change in dimensions of fabric or garments after soaking in water, expressed as a percentage of the original dimension. Testing Method: IS 1313-1984.
- Dimensional Change of Fabric Test (other than wool): The change in dimensions of woven or knitted fabrics after soaking in water without agitation. Testing Method: IS 2977-1989.
- Linear Density Test: The density of cotton yarn expressed as the number of 768.1m hanks per 453.6 gm (Cotton Count System) or the mass in grams of 1 km of yarn (Tex System). Testing Method: IS 1315-1977.
- Colour Fastness Test: The resistance of colour change in a treated fabric compared to the original. Types of Colour Fastness:
- Colour Fastness to Daylight : Tested by exposing the fabric to daylight and comparing the change in colour to a standard pattern. Testing Method: IS 686-1985 & IS 2454-1967.
- Colour Fastness to Washing: Tested by mechanically agitating a specimen with soap or soap & soda solution and comparing the change in colour to the original fabric with a greyscale. Testing Method: IS/ISO 105-C10:2006.
- Colour Fastness to Organic Solvent: Tested by agitating a specimen in an organic solvent and comparing the change in colour to the original fabric with a greyscale. Testing Method: IS 688-1988.
- Colour Fastness to Perspiration: Tested by exposing the specimen to two different solutions containing histidine and comparing the change in colour to the original fabric with a greyscale. Testing Method: IS 971-1983.
- Colour Fastness to Bleaching: Tested by agitating the specimen in Sodium Hypochlorite and Hydrogen peroxide solution and comparing the change in colour to the original fabric with a greyscale. Testing Method: IS 762-1988.
- Identification of Fibres: The process of determining the type of fibres in a textile artefact. Testing Method: IS 667-1981.
- Blend Fiber Composition: The determination of different fibres in a sample. Testing Method: IS 1564-1988, IS 1889-1976, IS 2005-198, IS 2006-1988, IS 3416-1999, IS 3421-1988, IS 6503-1988, IS 6504-1988, IS 9896-1981.
- Chloride and Sulphate Test: In textile industries, during various treatments, textiles may gather or be added with water-soluble salts such as sizing or finish materials. Excessive amounts of these substances may have harmful effects on the fibers. Test methods: IS 4202 – 1967 for Chloride and IS 4203 – 1967 for Sulphate.
- Fatty Matter Content Test: The sample is extracted with a solvent and the residue is expressed as fatty matter. Test method: IS 199 – 1989.
- Moisture Content Test: The sample of textile (in the form of yarn, fiber, or fabric) is dried at 105°C and the loss in weight is expressed as the moisture content.
- Ash Content Test: The dried textile sample is ignited under specific conditions and the residue left is expressed as the ash content.
- Iron & Chromium Test: Iron and Chromium are commonly found in mineral khaki-dyed textiles, used for making uniforms, etc. Test method: IS 4655 – 1968.
- Solvent Soluble Matter Test: The textile material is extracted with a solvent (ethyl ether or benzene methanol mixture) and the residue is expressed as a percentage of the textile weight. Test method: IS:4390 – 2001.
- pH Value of Water Extract Test: The pH of the textile’s aqueous extract indicates its processing history and can indicate its acidity/alkalinity. Test method: IS 1390 – 1983.
- Scouring Loss Test: Cotton textiles undergo treatments that may add extraneous matter to the original material. Scouring removes these impurities. Test method: IS 1383 – 1977.
- Carboxylic Acid Group Test in Cellulosic Textile Material: Cellulose textiles may come into contact with oxidizing agents during chemical processing, resulting in the formation of oxy cellulose of acidic character. Test method: IS 1560 – 1974.
