ABSTRACT

In this research paper, an instrument was designed and developed to measure the vertical wicking behavior of textile fabrics. This instrument measures the vertical wicking capability of the fabric samples with respect to time very precisely by the non-contact method using color sensors. It records the vertical wicking time of the fabric using color sensors which analyse the change of color in the fabric caused by the color solution used for wicking. The color sensors are arranged vertically at equal intervals. For validating the developed instrument, four types of woven and knitted fabric samples were tested at first using the standard manual test method and next using the developed instrument. The results were compared for its accuracy and repeatability. Results obtained from this developed instrument were highly correlated with the manual method and were reliable. This development can be used for the objective evaluation of vertical wicking characteristics of the fabric.

摘要

在本研究论文中，设计和开发了一种仪器来测量纺织织物的垂直芯吸行为。该仪器通过使用颜色传感器的非接触方法非常精确地测量织物样品相对于时间的垂直芯吸能力。它使用颜色传感器记录织物的垂直芯吸时间，该传感器分析用于芯吸的颜色溶液引起的织物颜色变化。颜色传感器以相等的间隔垂直排列。为了验证所开发的仪器，首先使用标准手动测试方法和接下来使用开发的仪器测试了四种机织和针织面料样品。比较结果的准确性和可重复性。从这个开发的仪器获得的结果与手动方法高度相关并且是可靠的。这种发展可用于客观评估织物的垂直芯吸特性。
