Drape Meter Testing Equipment - For Testing Lab
Drape Meter Testing Equipment is defined as the extent to which a
fabric will deform when it is allowed to hang under its own weight. It
is one of the subjective performance characteristics of fabric and
contributes considerably to its aesthetic appeal. It is a complex
characteristic involving both bending and shearing deformation. One of
the methods of determining the drape characteristic in which both the
warp and weft way characteristics interact to produce a graceful fold
uses a circular support over which a specimen of the fabric in form of a
circular piece is placed with an annular section overhanging the
support. The horizontal area covered by the shadow left by the
overhanging portion of the fabric is determined and compared against its
actual area to obtain the drape co-efficient.
