Here’s a general description of what a shrinkage ruler typically entails:

1. Design: A shrinkage ruler is typically a flat, rectangular-shaped tool made of a durable and non-flexible material, such as plastic or metal. It may have measurement markings on both sides, allowing measurements in both directions (length and width).
2. Measurement Units: The ruler is likely to display measurement units such as inches or centimeters, with subdivisions to provide accurate readings.
3. Testing Procedure: To measure fabric shrinkage, a sample of the fabric is cut into a specific size, and its initial dimensions are recorded. The fabric sample is then subjected to a treatment, like washing or wetting, following specific standards or customer requirements. After the treatment, the fabric is allowed to dry or rest under controlled conditions. Once the fabric is back to its original moisture level, its dimensions are measured again using the shrinkage ruler.
4. Shrinkage Calculation: By comparing the post-treatment measurements with the initial measurements, the percentage shrinkage of the fabric can be calculated. This information is essential for manufacturers and quality control personnel to ensure that the fabric meets the desired specifications and standards.
5. Application: Shrinkage rulers are commonly used in the textile industry for quality assurance purposes. They help manufacturers understand how much a fabric will shrink under specified conditions, which is crucial for determining the correct pattern and sizing in garment production.
