Water Repellency Test | Bundesmann Water Repellency Test

Bundesmann Water Repellency Test

The Bundesmann test aims to produce the effect of a rainstorm on a fabric in the laboratory. Water repellency test is done by Bundesmann test.   In the test shown in Fig. the fabric is subjected to a shower of water from a head fitted with a large number of standard nozzles. During the shower the back of the fabric is rubbed by a special mechanism which is intended to simulate the flexing effect which takes place when the fabric is worn. 

The Bundesmann shower test.

The method is not currently a British standard because considerable variation has been found between different machines, although when tests are carried out on the same machine the variability can be reduced to acceptable levels. 

In the test four specimens are mounted over cups in which a spring loaded wiper rubs the back of the cloth while the whole cup assembly slowly rotates. They are subjected for l0 min to a heavy shower whose rate has been adjusted so as to deliver 65ml of water per minute to each cup. The water flow is maintained at 2O0C and between pH 6 and 8. Because of the large amount of water consumed the equipment has to be connected to the mains water supply which leads to difficulties in keeping the water temperature constant. The shower is calculated to have a kinetic energy 5.8 times that of a cloudburst, 90 times that for heavy rain, 480 times that for moderate rain and 21,000 times that for light rain.

Two fabric parameters are determined from the test:
1 Penetration of water through the fabric: the water collected in the cups is measured to the nearest ml.
2 Absorption of water by the fabric: in order to do this the specimen is weighed before the test and then after the shower. To remove excess water the fabric is shaken ten times using a mechanical shaker and then weighed in an airtight container: 

In each case the mean of four values is calculated.

Construction of Garments Patterns | Description of Apparel PatternsInstruction

Following instruction must be marked on apparel pattern, to enable the garment to be made up correctly: -
1. Style Number.
2. Name of the part
3. Size ( it will show you how to find your size on a pattern finished garment measurements)
4. Grain Line: All patterns must have grain lines. It indicates the length direction of fabrics, i.e. during marker making all patterns must be placed to the length direction.
5. Balance Mark: Used to ensure patterns are sewn together at the correct points.
6. Construction Lines: These include button holes, pocket placing etc.

Garment Patterns Construction:

1. Manual Method.
2. By Computer (CAD).

Principles of Pattern Making:
A garment sewing pattterns or garment fabric & patterns draft is developed by calculating, taking account of the following measurements: -

1. Direct Sample.
2. Specification Sheet/ Measurement Chart.
3. Actual body size measurements.
4. Easy Allowances.
5. Sewing Allowance.

Pattern Draft:
A pattern draft is a diagrammatic representation of the way a garment is constructed. The objective of pattern draft is to develop a sample garment.

Pattern Sets:
Different sizes of pattern for a particular style are called pattern sets, e.g. L.M.S.

Production Pattern:
The pattern se which are used for huge production is called production pattern.

Through formal training you can explore areas such as:

1. Stitching, sewing, and cutting
2. Fabric selection
3. 2D and 3D art
4. Graphic design
5. Computer-aided design
6. Fashion portfolio management

The industry also has a business side that requires successful fashion designers to source materials, coordinate suppliers, secure contracts, plan events, and foster relationships with distributors and stores all over the globe.
