 Quality
Quality is the characteristics of a product or service that defines its ability to satisfy
the customers demand. Quality of a product is like the blood of a human body.

Quality Control
Quality control can be defined as the checking, verification and the degree of
excellence of an attribute of property of something. This operational techniques and
activities are used to fulfill the requirements of a quality.

Testing in Textile: Textile companies and consumer agencies conduct many kinds
of analyses to make sure our clothes and the fabrics we use in our homes won't harm
us, will be comfortable and will stay colorful for a long time. These processes are
called textile testing. On-line:  inspection the chemical, machine, methods,
standard procedure during production Off-line:  Physical Testing.  Chemical
Testing.

Quality control and testing in Pretreatment Process:

 Singeing
 De-sizing
 Bleaching
 Mercerization

Quality Control of Desizing: Chemicals (Enzymes, Wetting agent, Acetic acid etc.
Temperature For Enzymes particular temperature Machine Speed 85 to 95 m/min,
PH 6.5 to 7. Testing of De-sizing. Now the after washing the sample of fabric is
send to the QC office to check whether any size is remaining on fabric or it have
been remove fully completely from the fabric. Tegwa rating is the most modern
method to check desize efficiency, if it is lower than 50% then fabric goes for
reprocess Follow the standard of AATCC TS-018 allowing a drop of water to 2.5
cm of fabric, drop absorbency test.
 Quality Control in Bleaching: Alkali (48 to 50% concentration) Other Chemicals
(wetting agent, bleaching agent etc. Temperature (90 to 95c) Steam pressure (4.5 to
5.0 bar) Machine Speed (110 to 130 m/min) Testing of Bleaching Absorbency test
by Turquoise K2BL2%: To test the absorbencies of different fabrics, I took 10cm
square pieces of the fabric’s pickup check after bleach. If polyester it is 38-40 while
for PC-> 30-35 If whiteness low: Then bleaching agents are checked. It is checked
through comparison or by software is present to check out the rating of whiteness of
fabric. PH: Check the Ph of fabric by dropping PH solution on to the fabric and then
check by Ph strip.

Quality Control of Mercerization: Strong lye, Weak lye Machine Speed (80 to
110 m/min) Washing tank (3 Tanks depend on the machine) PH (printing 5-6 and
dyeing 6-7) Testing of Mercerization Baume meter/ twaddle: Checking the Baume
or twaddle degree of strong lye chamber. Determination of degree of mercerization:
By barium number activity (BAN). Followed by AATCC Tension: If tension is less
or the fabric is allowed to shrink then the luster is impaired. PH: Check the Ph of
fabric by dropping PH solution on to the fabric and then check by Ph strip.

Quality control and testing of after treatment process:

 Dyeing
 Printing Q.C and testing On-line
 inspection the chemical, machine, methods, standard procedure during
production Off-line.
 Physical testing.
 chemical testing
