Application

testing machine with Fully cyber-control drape-o-meter is designed to measure drape property from the deformation by gravity of an initially horizontal annular ring of fabrics. A circular fabric specimen is held concentrically between two smaller horizontal discs. An annular ring of fabric is allowed to drape into folds around the lower supporting disc. The shadow of the draped specimen is cast onto a sandblasted glass of same size as the un-supported part of the fabric specimen. The outline of the shadow is taken by a digital camera. The photographic will be sent to a computer to determine the shadow area with help of special software. The drape coefficient is calculated from the shadow area and original area of fabric specimen.
