Laboratory for textile-mechanical testing

The Laboratory for Textile Mechanical Testing of Department of Textile Design and Management is equipped with equipment for testing the mechanical properties of yarns, woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, nonwoven and technical textiles, which are in accordance with ISO standards.

Special mention should be made of the Textechno Statimat M for testing the tensile properties of yarns and fabrics, the Mesdan twist tester for determining the twist of single and multi threaded yarns and the Hess thickness gauge.

Within the laboratory, the practical part of the exercises from a number of courses is performed, as well as the preparation of Undergraduate  and Graduate thesis of the students of the Faculty of Textile Technology. In addition to teaching in the Laboratory for textile-mechanical testing, numerous tests are performed for scientific research work on the equipment as well as on devices that are patented by the research team. One of the patented devices is a device for measuring the resistance of technical textile to biaxial cyclic stresses.
