Questions and Answers

What is the primary reason for conditioning textiles in a standard atmosphere before testing?

  • To analyze the fabric's reaction under extreme humidity
  • To determine the fiber's strength under varying temperatures
  • To enhance the colorfastness of the fabric
  • To ensure consistent results across tests and laboratories (correct)

Which term describes the process of moisture being attracted and retained within the pores of a fiber?

  • Absorption (correct)
  • Desorption
  • Evaporation
  • Adsorption

What temperature range is maintained during the conditioning of textiles?

  • 68-72°F
  • 75-80°F
  • 60-65°F
  • 70±2°F (correct)
