Dimensional stability & skew
Warp and weft shrinkage plus skew, measured from marked-square photographs before and after wash.
Example outputs shown for illustration. Numbers depend on your samples and protocol.
What you get
The measurement, today
Marked squares are measured by hand with a ruler, one dimension at a time. Readings differ between operators, skew is usually eyeballed, and nothing about the measurement is recorded beyond a number on a sheet.
What it costs
Shrinkage outside tolerance means garments fail their size spec once the customer washes them. It is one of the most common causes of bulk rejection, and it is discovered at the worst possible moment.
From image to reviewed result
- 1
Photograph before
Image the marked specimen flat, with the reference marks and a scale in frame.
- 2
Wash and dry
Run your own laundering and conditioning procedure. Nothing about it changes.
- 3
Photograph after
Re-image the same specimen on the same rig so the two frames are directly comparable.
- 4
Measure the change
The marks are detected in both frames; warp and weft change and skew are computed and overlaid.
Scope: Measures the marked reference distances from images. The wash, dry, and conditioning procedure stays yours, and results are only comparable when that procedure is held fixed.
