ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for determining and comparing the stretchability of fabrics. The apparatus and method comprise a support tube upon which is mounted one or more annular, inflatable bladders. A stretchable fabric sample is pulled over the support and the deflated bladder and secured in place by a collar. Air is directed from a pressure source through the support tube to inflate the bladder at a fixed rate. Electronic sensors measure the air pressure required to inflate the bladder and expand the fabric as a function of time during inflation and this inflation data is applied to a computer. The computer plots the air pressure required to inflate the bladder as a function of time for both cases, where fabric is and is not in place. The deformation characteristic of one or more fabric samples can thereby be observed.
