TEST METHOD No. 1 DETERMINATION OF COLOUR FASTNESS TO WASHING (Based on ISO-105/C-1981 Test 3) Purpose

This method is used for determination of colour fastness of dyed/printed fabrics and dyed yarn samples to the action of soap and sodium carbonate solution at 60 2C. Principle A specimen of textile sample in contact with specified adjacent fabrics is mechanically agitated in soap-soda solution, rinsed and dried. The change in colour of the specimen and the staining of the adjacent fabrics are assessed with standard grey scales. Apparatus 1) Laundrometer : A mechanical washing device with a) A water-bath containing a rotor with which stainless steel pots of 500 ml capacity are rotated, and b) means of thermostatically controlling the temperature of water-bath so as to maintain the temperature of test solution in the containers at 60 2 C. 2) Grey Scales : 1) For assessing change in colour fastness 2) For assessing staining of adjacent fabric 3) Adjacent fabric (Bleach cotton fabric without optical brighten treats. Reagents Soap-Soda solution: The solution shall contain 5 g of soap and 2 g of sodium carbonate per liter of water. Preparation of test specimen : Attach a specimen of test sample measuring 10 x 8 cms, between the two pieces of adjacent fabric, also measuring 10 x 8 cms by stapling along one side of the shorter side. Procedure : Place the test specimen in the pot of the Laundrometer. Add the necessary amount of soap-soda solution to give a material to liquor ratio of 1:50. Close the lid and place the pot in the Laundrometer already brought to the temperature 60 2 C. Wash the specimen for 30 minutes at the same temperature. After 30 minutes, remove the specimen, rinse it thoroughly with water. Dry the specimen in the air at a temperature not exceeding 60 C. Evaluation : Evaluate the change in colour of the treated test specimen, also termed as effect on pattern (Ep) and the staining of the adjacent fabrics (St), with the help of Grey scales for assessing change in colour and staining respectively. Standard : As per MFG-401

TEST METHOD No. 2 Purpose :

DETERMINATION OF COLOUR FASTNESS TO RUBBING (Based on AATCC-8-1988)

This method is used for determination of colour fastness of dyed/printed fabrics and dyed yarn samples to rubbing off and staining other materials. Apparatus : 1) Crockmeter : a Rubbing device. 2) Rubbing cloth : Adequate number of pieces each 5 x 5 cm of undyed bleached cotton cloth free from starch or other finishing materials are used. 3) Grey Scales : For assessing change in staining. Procedure :

Dry Rubbing Test Place the sample under test on the base of the crock meter so that it rests flat on the abrasive cloth with its long dimension in the direction of rubbing. Fix a piece of the Rubbing cloth over the peg on the crock meter by means of the holder provided. Lower the finger of crock meter on the mounted sample and make it to slide back and forth twenty times by making ten complete turns of the crank at the rate of one turn per second. Remove the rubbing piece and evaluate. Wet Rubbing Test Thoroughly wet out Rubbing piece in water. Remove the excess water from it by squeezing it between absorbent cloth. Fix it on the peg and work in a manner similar to Dry rubbing test. Air dry or iron the wet rubbing piece before evaluating. Evaluation : Evaluate the amount of colour transferred from the sample under test to the Rubbing pieces under examination by means of the Grey scales for assessing staining. TEST METHOD No. 3 DETERMINATION OF RESIDUAL SHRINKAGE ON WASHING AT 60C (Based on: AATCC Test Method 135-1987) Purpose : This method is used for determining the dimensional changes of woven cotton fabrics on washing by Tumble dry low method. Terminology : Dimensional changes: Changes in the dimensions (in length or width or both) after subjecting the fabric to the prescribed test and expressed as a percentage of the corresponding dimension before such test. These changes may be of 2 types: (a) Shrinkage : A dimensional change resulting in a decrease in length or width of a specimen, and (b) Elongation : A dimensional change resulting in an increase in the length/width. Apparatus : 1) Automatic washing machine (SUPREMO from M/s IFB), 2) Tumble dryer ( From M/s IFB), 3) Steel measuring scale, having graduation in millimetres. 4) Loading cloth : Pieces of woven cloth. 5) Detergent Procedure : Take a test specimen of the size: about 65 cm x full width for testing. Spread it on the measuring table and remove the creases and folds (if any) by hand. Taking extreme care not to extend or distort the test specimen, put 6 pairs of ink marks on the sample with the help of marking / measuring scale (three pairs each in warp and weft directions). Each mark should be at least 50 mm away from the selvedge or edge of the test specimen and the distance between each pairs of mark should be 50 cm. Put the test specimen along with the loading cloth (Total weight should be from 1.7 to 2 kg) through the porthole window of the washing machine. Close the porthole window. Fix the wash program of the washing m/c corresponding to desired temperature (60C) i.e., Washing M/c Program me No 6 by setting the program me selector knob on Button C. Add 90 gm detergent in detergent tray. After the end of the program, remove the test specimen from the M/C and dry it by putting it in a tumble dryer machine, selecting regular temperature setting and with timer setting on 60. In the tumble dryer the fabrics are dried by hot air through tumbling action. Place the dried sample on the measuring table carefully and carefully remove all creases and folds and measure the distance between each pairs of marks with the help of measuring scale. Note:-a) No. of complete washing & drying cycle = 3 for 131R (or as specified in contract) b) No. of complete washing & drying cycle = 1 for others Calculation : Calculate the percentage change in dimension by following formula: S = (a - b)/a x 100 where S = % dimensional change, a = distance between pairs before treatment (100 cm) & b =

distance between pairs after treatment. Take the mean of the three warpwise (lengthwise) and the three weftwise (widthwise) values and report the results obtained. TEST METHOD No. 4 DETERMINATION OF SIZE PICK-UP OF YARN

Purpose : This method is used for determining the size pick-up of yarn samples. Apparatus : 1) Water bath, 2) Soxhlet extraction apparatus Reagents : 1) Chloroform (`SQ' grade), 2) Enzyme : A high activity alpha- amylase enzyme 3) Sodium chloride solution (1%), 4) Calcium chloride solution (1%), 5) Wetting agent Test specimen Cut one specimen from the sized yarn sample under test and tie it with some yarns from the same sample. The weight of this specimen should be from 1-3 g. Procedure : Weigh the test specimen accurately. Extract it with chloroform for 1 hour for removal of fatty matter of the size using Soxhlet extraction apparatus. At the end of this wash the specimen first in hot water followed by cold water. Now immerse the specimen in a desizing bath already heated to 50-60C, keeping material to liquor ratio 1:20. Desizing bath is prepared by taking 0.5 ml/l of the enzyme + 6 ml/l (= 60 mg/l) each of sodium chloride and calcium chloride solutions + 1ml/l of the wetting agent and rest water. Keep the specimens in desizing bath at temperature 50-60C for 2 hours. At the end of 2 hours, take out the specimen, wash it first with hot water ( 80C) followed with cold water. Repeat the washings in the same order 3 more times. Finally squeeze the specimen to remove excess of water and dry in oven at temperature 105 2C. Condition the dried specimen to room temperature and weigh. Calculation : Calculate the percentage % size pick-up as follows: % Size pick-up = Initial weight - (K x Final weight) -------------------------------------------- x 100 (K x Final weight)

Where K is a constant and its value is 1.05.

Use of Jaypak/Minolta for colour measurement of VF washed swatches (555 Grouping system) 6. Initialize the jaypak/Minolta spectrophotometer before using for 15 Min. 7. Before colour measurement Jaypak/Minolta should be calibrated. Calibration is done by using White tile in spin mode. After calibration remove tile from sample port. 8. Take a sample of washed swatches fabric. 9. washed swatches put in sample port & measure the sample by taking minimum 3 reading and save it. 10. After measurement of sample enter in sort option & take dE , dL, da & db Value and take the print out. The programme automatically gives code for shade group with respect to reference sample. 6. Sample size:-One blanket per lot or as and when required. Precaution:5) 6) 7) 8) Use of white tile carefully. Lamp should be on. Instrument should be calibrated. Spectro initialize atleast 15 min before the colour matching.

STANDARDISATION OF REDWOOD VISCOMETER Standardise the viscometer with water. Fill viscometer container with water upto the mark Allow it to flow through the opening and collect it in a glass viscosity cup (Capacity 50 ml) Kept below the viscometer. Measure the time taken for flowing t fill the viscosity cup up to The mark, i.e. 50 ml mark with a stopwatch. The viscosity of water should be 27 1 seconds at room temperature. Note: In case of deviation, Viscometer and viscosity cup are clean with warm water Thoroughly the above process is repeated.

STANDARDISATION OF GLASS FLUDITY FUNNEL Standardise the glass fluidity funnel with water. Measure 110 ml of water in a graduated Cylinder and pour in to the fluidity funnel with opening of the funnel blocked with one Finger. Place the empty 10 ml cylinder below the opening of the funnel. Now allow the Water to flow through the opening of the funnel by removing the finger from it and Measure the time taken for collection of 100 ml of water in the glass cylinder kept below. The time taken for flow of 100 ml of water through the opening of fluidity funnel should Be 70 1 seconds at room temperature. Note :- In case of any deviation, clean the fluidity funnel thoroughly with warm water and Repeat the above process. STANDARDISATION OF VISCOSITY CUP Standardise the viscosity cup with water. Fill viscosity cup with water and allow it to flow through the opening and collect it in a beaker. Measure the time taken for flowing of water with stopwatch. The viscosity of water should be 5.5 0.5 seconds at room temperature. Note: In case of deviation, viscosity cup are clean with warm water thoroughly the above process is repeated. STANDARDISATION OF THERMOMETER Calibrate and certified thermometer is used as a master equipment to calibrate other thermometer/digital Thermometer/hygrometer. Measurement taken within the range used, show the same value or within the Allowed error as given in QL-MR-201 record the calibration result as OK if it is more than the allowed error, the error is recorded and the measurement are adjusted accordingly User department arrange for its servicing or replacement through store purchase department subsequently. STANDARDISATION OF pH METER Standardize the pH meter with three standard pH solutions of known pH Values 4.0 , 7.0 & 9.2 First adjust the pH scale to 7.0 by measuring the pH of the solution with pH 7.0 with the help of Knob at front of the pH meter. Then adjust the pH scale to 4.0 by measuring the pH of the solution with pH 4.0 with the help of Knob at the back of the pH meter. Now verify the pH of solution with pH 9.2. The observed pH value should not differ by 0.1 Note : 1) In case of deviation, clean the pH electrode carefully and repeat the above process. 2) pH solution with pH values 4.0 , 7.0 & 9.2 prepared by dissolving 1 tablets of each pH value in distilled water and making the volume to 100 ml respectively. These solution are prepared once in a month or whenever any deviation during standardization is observed.
