AKTU Textile Analysis Lab (BCT353) Syllabus PDF – B.Tech 2nd Year

Course Objectives

• To get aware of various fibre identification techniques.
• To acquire knowledge on measurement of environmental conditions, moisture content etc.
• To develop competency in analyzing a given textile fibre blend.
• To identify the weave of a given fabric sample and analyze it for its reproducibility.

Course Content

1. Analysis of longitudinal and cross-sectional view of common textile fibres like cotton, wool, silk, jute, flax, viscose rayon, nylon, polyester, acrylic and polypropylene fibre etc. using microscopic methods.
2. Analysis of textile fibers (as mentioned above) by Burning test.
3. Identification of textile fibers (as mentioned above) by Solubility test.
4. Measurement of relative humidity of a given environment.
5. Measurement of standard Moisture regain% and standard Moisture content% of a given textile fibre.
6. Analysis fibre composition% of a given binary/tertiary blends using chemical solubility methods.
7. Analysis of given fabric sample in terms of epi, ppi, gsm, yarn count, twist, crimp%, weave identification etc (at least 4 different fabric samples to be analyzed by each student, i.e. plain, twill, satin and leno weave fabrics).

Course Outcomes

After completing this course the student will be able to:

1. Develop competency in systematically identifying an unknown textile fibre sample.
2. Understand the importance of environmental conditions and its effect on moisture content & other properties of a textile fibre.
3. Calculate the composition of the blend of given textile material.
4. Analyse the given fabric sample for its reproducibility.
