TITLE(s): CLOTH-SHRINKING TESTER (textile) alternate titles: wash-test checker
Tests cloth sample to determine potential shrinkage of sample in order to establish shrinking
machine settings, and to verify effectiveness of shrinking process: Marks cloth sample at measured
intervals, using template. Loads samples into washing drum and adds detergents. Starts machine that
automatically washes and rinses samples and extracts excess water. Removes samples from machine at
end of washing cycle and presses samples, using flatbed ironer. Measures distance between markings
on cloth, using yardstick, and computes average shrinkage of length and width. Converts amount of
shrinkage into machine settings, using conversion tables. Records measurements, cloth lot and style
number, and machine settings on work ticket for use by CLOTH-SHRINKING-MACHINE OPERATOR (textile).
Cuts samples from cloth after shrinking and tests cloth to verify that material meets shrinkage
specifications.
