2. Martindale (unit) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martindale_(unit)

   The Martindale is a unit for quantifying the abrasion resistance of textiles, especially when used for upholstery.. The Martindale method, also known as the Martindale rub test, simulates natural wear of a seat cover, in which the textile sample is rubbed against a standard abrasive surface with a specified force.

3. Units of textile measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_textile_measurement

   Textile fibers, threads, yarns and fabrics are measured in a multiplicity of units.. A fiber, a single filament of natural material, such as cotton, linen or wool, or artificial material such as nylon, polyester, metal or mineral fiber, or human-made cellulosic fibre like viscose, Modal, Lyocell or other rayon fiber is measured in terms of linear mass density, the weight of a given length of ...

4. Tow (fibre) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tow_(fibre)

   In the artificial fibre and composites industries, a tow is an untwisted bundle of continuous filaments, in particular of acrylic, carbon fibres, or viscose rayon.Tows are designated either by their total tex (mass in grams per 1000 m length) [3] or by the number of fibres they contain.

5. Bias tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias_tape

   Bias tape or bias binding is a narrow strip of fabric, typically plain weave, cut on the bias. As the weave of fabric is at a 45-degree angle, the resulting fabric strip is stretchier than a strip cut on the grain. The strip also has a better drape, and conforms to curves better than fabric cut on the grain. [1]

6. Spread tow fabric - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spread_tow_fabric

   The spread tow technique, to weave with tapes instead of tows, tape weaving technology, was invented by Dr. Nandan Khokar in 1995. The theory behind Spread Tow Fabric is quite simple, by arranging the fibres in the woven structure in the straightest orientation possible the fibre properties are used in the most effective way to carry load, both in tensile and compression.

7. Yarn weight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarn_weight

   Equations may be used to determine the weight of warp and weft required for a particular fabric: Weight of warp = (0.65 x qty. of fabric (metres) x no. of warp ends) / count; If there are two colors in the warp, use the following equations: Weight of color A (kg) = (0.65 x qty. of fabric (metres) x no. of warp ends of color A) / count of color A
