Measurement and Analysis of Fabric Capillary Radius Distribution

Abstract:

In this paper, a new capillary model and weight-classification method are proposed and a device is designed and fabricated, which is helpful to measure the μm-scaled pore size of fabric and hence accurately control wet processing and heat-moisture transportation in fabric. The histograms and curves show that the pore size distribution for the cotton fabric used is generally in the range of 49-2391μm exhibitng a continuous character, different from the conventional geometric jumping distribution observed by microscope. Using four classes with different width, the obtained data show that the absolute deviation region is in 2-32μm, while the relative deviation is less than 0.1%. It is found that the radius range reduces but the absolute and relative deviation fluctuate with increasing the width.
