BS EN 15930 is an international standard that covers the attributes of fibres.
BS EN 15930 covers the determination of the elasticity of fibres and may lead to the classification of the fibre as elastic fibre.
BS EN 15930 stipulates the technicalities such as related terms and definitions, test principle, apparatus, atmosphere of conditioning and testing, sampling, preparation of test specimens, procedure, calculation and expression of the results, and stating test report for determining the elasticity of fibres.
BS EN 15930 is applicable to single man-made crimped and uncrimped fibres.
BS EN 15930 on the elasticity of fibres is useful for:
Quality of textiles can be coined as the level of acceptance of clothing products or services. For the textile and apparel industry, product quality is checked in terms of finish and class of the fibres, yarns, fabric construction, color fastness, designs, and the final product. Textile testing is carried out in fibre, yarn, fabric and sometimes in the garment stage.
BS EN 15930 informs you about the testing method for determining the elasticity of fibres, which is an important aspect of the production of a supreme class fabric. It proves to be a very important work or process in each department of the export-oriented clothing industry.
BS EN 15930 gives you detailed information about the apparatus needed to perform the test, explains the principle of the test, helps the users to prepare the test specimens and also describes the test procedure stepwise. It helps them to execute the calculations and to conclude the final test report.
Overall, BS EN 15930 serves the object of aiding the users with research, selection of raw material, process development, product testing, etc. for manufacturing good quality fabrics.
