Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 This standard prescribes two methods for determination of stiffness of fabrics made from any textile fibre or a blend of two or more textile fibres by the measurement of bending length. — Method A – Cantilever Test; and — Method B – Heart Loop Test.
2 This test method applies to a wide range of fabrics, including woven, airbag, blanket, napped, knitted, layered, and pile fabrics. These fabrics may be untreated, heavily sized, coated, resin-treated, or otherwise processed
3 This standard also outlines the test method for determining the stiffness of very limp fabrics, as well as fabrics that tend to curl or twist at the cut edges.
