Textile labs are integral in providing analytics and data to the textile and apparel industry through the development of high-quality products, the evaluation and/or development of specifications for an existing product, and/or the development of specifications for an existing product, and/or evaluation of the end use performance of a product. The primary purpose of textile testing, and analysis is to assess textile product performance and to use test results to make predictions about product performance. A sample of the textile itself can be tested in a number of ways including tension, bending, tear, puncture, friction, and abrasion. Product performance must be considered in conjunction with end use; therefore, tests are performed with this ultimate end use in mind.
