Abstract

Abstract Seven drape indicators and four of the parameters assessed in the UPC ring test were determined by using canonical correlations in 15 commercial drapery fabrics of variable composition, aerial weight and weave type. A regression equation relating drape ratio (%DR) and parameter h in the ring test was thus established. Based on the results, the ring test provides a useful tool for the routine industrial assessment of drape in finished drapery fabrics without the need for additional equipment to determine the drape.
