Analysis of nouns of textile fabrics

Fabric is the constituent material of clothes. The colorful clothes on the market are dyed and sewed in batches of white cloth woven by weaving factories. There are many professional terms about the fabric industry, and many people may come into contact with fabrics for the first time. The industry is very unfamiliar with these terms. Here is a summary of common professional vocabulary in the fabric industry and a brief introduction. Generally speaking, yarn count is a unit used to measure the thickness of yarn. The common yarn counts of yarn are 30 yarn counts, 40 yarn counts, 60 yarn counts, etc. The larger the number, the finer the yarn and the higher the grade. High count, high count and high density generally represent the texture of pure cotton fabrics.“High branch”Refers to the yarn count used in the fabric is very high, such as cotton yarn JC60S, JC80S, JC100S, JC120S, JC160S, JC260S, etc., the inch yarn count unit, the larger the number, the finer the yarn count. In terms of production technology, the higher the yarn count, the longer the lint of the cotton used for spinning.“long-staple cotton”or“Egyptian long-staple cotton”, Such yarns are uniform, flexible, and glossy. In each square inch of fabric, the warp yarns are called warp yarns, and the weft yarns are called weft yarns. The sum of the number of warp yarns and the number of weft yarns is the density of the fabric. commonly said“high density”, refers to the high density of warp and weft yarns of the fabric, that is, the number of yarns that make up the fabric per unit area is many, such as: 300/square inch, 400/square inch, 600/square inch, 1000/square inch, 12000/square inch, etc., the higher the yarn count, the higher the density fabric can be woven. The warp and weft yarns of plain weave are interwoven every other yarn, and such a fabric is called a plain weave. The characteristics are that there are many interwoven points, the texture is crisp, the front and back appearances are the same, the fabric is lighter and thinner, the air permeability is good, the count is about 30, and the price is relatively common. The warp and weft yarns of twill fabrics are interlaced at least once every two yarns. The organizational structure of the fabric can be changed by increasing or decreasing the interlacing points of warp and weft, which are collectively referred to as twill fabrics. The characteristics are that there are positive and negative points, less interweaving points, longer floating lines, soft hand feeling, higher fabric density, thicker products and stronger three-dimensional sense. There are 30, 40 and 60 counts. Yarn-dyed weaving is when weaving into cloth, we use yarn that has been dyed in advance, instead of weaving the yarn into white grey cloth and then printing and dyeing the color. The color of the yarn-dyed fabric is uniform without color difference, the color fastness will be better, and it is not easy to fade. Jacquard fabric: relative to“printing”and“embroidered”In terms of weaving, it means that when the fabric is weaving, the warp and weft weave changes are used to form the pattern. The jacquard fabric requires fine yarn count and extremely high requirements for raw cotton.

What Are the ISTA Standard Tests and ISTA Testing Equipment?
ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) standard tests are globally recognized transportation packaging test procedures designed to evaluate the safety and reliability of products and their packaging throughout the logistics chain. By simulating real-world transportation conditions such as drops, vibration, impact, stacking, and compression, ISTA testing helps identify potential packaging weaknesses before products enter large-scale distribution. ISTA testing equipment—including drop testers, vibration testers, incline impact machines, and compression testers—plays a critical role in accurately reproducing these conditions under laboratory settings. Proper selection and use of ISTA-compliant equipment enable manufacturers to reduce transportation damage, lower return costs, enhance packaging design, and improve customer confidence in product quality and logistics safety.
Why Is Shoe Slip Resistance Tester Important for Footwear Safety?
Slip resistance is one of the most critical performance indicators for modern footwear, especially safety shoes used in industrial and high-risk working environments.
