Product Engineering, Specifications & Feasibility
Ranks failure modes for action: risk priority number, criticality from severity and occurrence, the RPN after planned actions, the reduction achieved, margin over the action threshold and what detection or occurrence improvement would each achieve alone.
Calculator
Product Engineering, Specifications & Feasibility
Works back from a finished fabric specification to greige settings: required greige width and GSM, greige length per hundred finished metres, the area ratio shrinkage imposes, finish add-on mass and the greige length an order requires.
Calculator
Product Engineering, Specifications & Feasibility
Plans an economical factorial experiment: runs in the fractional design, total runs including replication and centre points, design resolution, effects estimable, total cost and time, and the saving against a full factorial.
Calculator
Product Engineering, Specifications & Feasibility
Audits a technical data sheet before it is issued: coverage of test methods, tolerances and units across the listed properties, a combined completeness score, approval sign-off status, and whether the document is past its controlled review interval.
Calculator
Product Engineering, Specifications & Feasibility
Tests whether a target construction can be produced: reed dents per centimetre required, Peirce cover factor, total ends, and the margin available against reed density, cover factor and loom pick rate limits.
Calculator
Testing & Quality
Converts fabric or wadding thickness and thermal conductivity into thermal resistance, then into TOG, clo and imperial R-value, the insulation scales used to specify winterwear and bedding.
Calculator
Testing & Quality
Compares tear strength against tensile strength to expose fabrics that test strong in tension but tear easily, and normalises both by fabric weight so different constructions can be judged fairly.
Calculator
Testing & Quality
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
Testing & Quality
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
Testing & Quality
Converts a measured colour difference on the multifibre adjacent fabric into an ISO 105-A03 grey scale staining grade, and reports the margin against the minimum grade a buyer requires.
