Seam Strength & Efficiency Calculator
Calculates seam efficiency from seam and fabric breaking strength, the absolute strength lost at the seam, and the seam strength a target efficiency specification would demand.
Calculator
Processing & Finishing
Wet and dry processes that deliver the final hand and look. This section explains practical decision criteria, typical test methods, and failure modes that matter in real production. Readers get checklists, calculation steps, and case examples connecting specifications to cost, reliability, and compliance. Links map core concepts to upstream inputs and downstream processes so choices remain consistent across sourcing, manufacturing, and end-use performance. Each article includes definitions, diagrams where helpful, and plain-language notes to help newcomers ramp quickly while giving experienced professionals the depth needed to troubleshoot and optimize. Standards references are cited with context, and whenever trade-offs exist, we make them explicit so you can defend decisions. The coverage also includes metrics, data tables, and example calculations so results are reproducible. Where regulations apply, we highlight jurisdiction, scope, and verification pathways. Tools and templates are provided to speed up daily work without sacrificing rigor.
Finishing & Environment
Sanforizing Shrinkage Potential Tool
Determines the rubber belt compression a sanforizer must apply to bring woven fabric residual shrinkage down to specification, and the fabric length consumed in delivering it.
Calculator
Wet Processing
Rotary Printing Repeat Size to Screen Matcher
Checks whether a design repeat divides exactly into a rotary screen circumference, and returns the adjusted repeat size that will print seamlessly along with the distortion that adjustment introduces.
Calculator
Finishing & Environment
Resin Finishing Add-on Percentage Calculator
Calculates dry resin and catalyst add-on from padder wet pick-up and bath concentration, and scales both into the chemical quantities a batch will consume for crease-recovery finishing.
Calculator
Wet Processing
Screen Printing Colour Paste Consumption Estimator
Estimates print paste consumption for a run from fabric area, design coverage and the paste pick-up of the screen mesh, giving kilograms per colour, per metre and for the whole order.
Calculator
Testing & Quality
Pilling Propensity Index Calculator
Converts Martindale pilling test counts into pill density and a cycle-normalised propensity index, so fabrics assessed over different cycle counts can be compared against a rating specification.
Calculator
Wet Processing
Fabric pH Neutralization Acid Dosing Calculator
Calculates the volume of acid needed to bring an alkaline bath down to a target pH after scouring or reactive dyeing, from bath volume, current pH and acid normality.
Calculator
Wet Processing
Pad-Batch Dyeing Pick-up Calculator
Determines wet pick-up on a padder from dry and wet sample weights, then converts it into liquor and dye required for the full batch and the resulting depth of shade on weight of fabric.
Calculator
Wet Processing
Liquor Ratio (MLR) & Water Consumption Calculator
Converts batch weight and material to liquor ratio into dye bath volume, then totals the water drawn across the dye bath and every rinse fill, with the cost per batch and per kilogram of fabric.
Calculator
Wet Processing
Lab Dip & Shade Matching Adjustment Tool
Corrects an off-shade lab dip by scaling dye concentration against the measured colour strength from a spectrophotometer, and reports the Delta E position against the agreed commercial tolerance.
