Textile test methods — Methods of pressing
Scope:
Finishing — This method contains procedures for finishing (smoothing) fabric after washing or dry cleaning. Three principal methods of pressing and a procedure for restoration after dimensional change are described. These procedures are usually used as follows: ironing, steam pressing, steaming, tension pressing.
Relaxation — The steaming procedure is also used to identify stress from the manufacturing process which may be present in a fabric. Steaming is used to relax a specimen and the resultant dimensional change is determined.
