Methods of test for textiles Dimensional change - Determination of relaxation and hygral properties of woven fabrics
Standards Australia
Sets out a test procedure for woven fabrics for determining the relaxation shrinkage (i.e. the potential of the fabric to shrink due to stresses incurred during finishing) and hygral change (i.e. the degree to which the fabric will expand and contract in proportion to moisture content).
