Steaming Cylinder
Steaming Cylinder (KFG-2045)
The Steaming Cylinder subjects four cloth specimens at a time to dry saturated steam at atmospheric pressure. The specimens are given no mechanical restraint and there is no subsequent vacuum cooling. The device provides a reproducible measure of the component of shrinkage occurring in steam pressing attributable to latent strains in the cloth supplied.
Any further shrinkage that may occur arises from the characteristics of the pressing process itself. The Steaming Cylinder is invaluable in maintaining good communications between clothiers and their suppliers on the specification and performance of woven and knitted fabrics.
