Abstract
Publisher Summary Fabric hand is a property assessed very often in daily life, providing information mostly for the finishing and clothing industry. This chapter shows that objective hand tests made on a very complicated and expensive system can be replaced by less complicated tests done on the Instron tensile tester; and it presents the derivation of General Hand Factor [“GHF”] for such measurements. In order to elaborate the GHF and to assess the influence of fabric structure factors on the GHF value, raw fabrics characterized by different weaves and different cover factor values resulting from the different weft density values were produced; next, they were finished using two types of finishing. The chapter outlines the problem concerning the main factors that influence fabric hand. It also presents the results of tests on mechanical properties under small stresses for cotton and CO/PES fabrics.
