Abstract
Testing of manufactured fibres, filaments and their yarns is important from the points of view of quality control, process control, product development and process optimization. Fineness, crimp, shrinkage, tensile and evenness are some of the properties tested depending on the material and end use requirements. The exact norms for these properties are not normally available but, depending on the product and end use requirements of the customer, each plant establishes certain norms for each important property. Besides satisfying these norms, the fibres and yarns should have consistent properties. The principles and methods of evaluating these properties are discussed in this chapter.
