ISO 20932 describes the methods tests using a strip of fibre in straight strip form or as loops, which can be used to measure the elasticity and related properties of fabrics, excluding narrow fabrics.
ISO 20932-1 on textile is useful for:
A textile is a flexible material made by creating an interlocking bundle of yarns or threads, which are produced by spinning raw fibres into long and twisted lengths. The elasticity is measured as a percent per meter or inch. The fabric elasticity can be measured wide-wise, long-wise, or across the bias of the fabric. ISO 20932-1measure the elasticity and related properties of fabrics.
ISO 20932-1 was developed because of technological advancement in yarn and fabric structures and properties, which increase the product range and developments. Using ISO 20932-1 you can describe the methods tests using a strip of fibre in straight strip form or as loops.
