ISO 16322-2 Textile - Determination of Spirality After Washing - Test for Woven and Knitted Fabrics

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of ISO 16322-2 testing. This standard specifies three procedures (cross marking, inverted T marking and sample garment marking) for measuring the spirality or torque of woven and knitted fabrics after home laundering.

Results from different procedures will not always be comparable. The purpose of this standard is not to measure the spirality of fabrics as they are produced, but to measure the spirality after washing.

Test samples are cut, prepared, marked and washed according to specified procedures. Spirality is measured in millimeters, percentage of marked distance, or angle of non-perpendicularity.

The standard outlines the testing procedure and equipment required to measure spirality in both woven and knitted fabrics. Provides guidance on sample preparation, washing conditions and measurement methods to ensure accurate results.

Spirality change is typically expressed as a percentage, which indicates how much the spirality of the fabric changes after washing. ISO 16322-2 is valuable for textile manufacturers and quality control professionals to assess and maintain the quality of woven and knitted fabrics, especially when these fabrics are expected to be washed throughout their life cycle.
