Abstract

In this work, a quantitative method for measuring fabric handle based on changing the diameter of a cylindrical hole of sponge according to fabric weight per unit area was tested. Also, a method of expressing objective test results relating to the handle of woven fabric has been developed. This method Involves the area of polygon area. Also, a simple apparatus has been designed and constructed for measuring coefficient of friction of fabrics using the inclined plane method. therefore, fabric handle was assessed for fourteen dressing fabrics by several methods such as fabric withdrawal force (by the cylindrical ring method), (by the nozzle method), (by the spongy hole method) and polygon area method. The experimental results show the high correlation between the measurement by the suggested methods and the other known methods. Several empirical equations are fitted to the measured withdrawal force values by the different methods using multiple regression analysis. These empirical relationships are shown to predict the withdrawal force (fabric handle) accurately.
