RESEARCH OF WATER ABSORPTION OF MIXED TISSUE OF DIFFERENT FIBER COMPOSITION

Abstract

The water absorption of samples of mixed fabrics of various fibrous compositions is investigated. To determine the water absorption, samples of mixed fabric with a size of (80180)m are cut out. After weighing the samples on a RT-100 scales, they are alternately immersed in water and kept for 1 min. To remove water from the surface of the fabric, the samples are placed on filter paper folded in three layers covered with the same layer of paper on top and lightly smoothed by hand three times. After that, the samples are weighed on the same scales. Based on the data obtained, the moisture content of the samples is calculated.
