DIN 53894-2 Dimensional Change of Textile Fabrics - Steaming Test in Ironing Machines

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of DIN 53894-2 testing. DIN 53894-2 is a standard that specifies the method for determining the size change caused by steaming in textile fabrics in ironing machines. This test method is used to evaluate the dimensional stability of textile fabrics when exposed to steam.

The standard specifies the following test conditions for the steaming procedure:

• The sample must be conditioned to a specific relative humidity and temperature prior to testing;
• The ironing machine must be set to a certain temperature and pressure;
• The sample must be steamed for a certain time;
• After steaming, the sample should be removed from the ironing machine and allowed to cool to room temperature before measurement.

After the steaming process is completed, the sample is taken from the ironing machine and its dimensions are measured again. The difference between the dimensions before and after steaming is used to calculate the dimensional change of the textile fabric.

The results obtained using this test method can be used to evaluate the performance of textile fabrics in various applications such as garment, home textile and industrial textile. The dimensional stability of the fabric is an important property that affects its appearance, fit and function. By evaluating the dimensional change of textile fabrics under different conditions, manufacturers and consumers can make informed decisions about the suitability of the fabric for their intended use.
