How It Works

Calculate fabric shrinkage percentage after washing, dyeing, or finishing processes.

Shrinkage refers to the reduction in fabric size after washing, dyeing, or finishing. It is a critical quality parameter in textile processing because it affects garment fitting and measurement stability. Different fabric types have different shrinkage behavior — cotton typically shrinks 3-5%, while polyester has minimal shrinkage.

Shrinkage testing involves marking a measured fabric sample, subjecting it to standard washing and drying cycles, then measuring the change in dimensions. Both lengthwise and widthwise shrinkage are measured. Proper shrinkage control during finishing is essential for consistent garment production and customer satisfaction.
