Which metric measures the consistency of a garment's color throughout its production run?

  1. Colorfastness

  2. Dimensional Stability

  3. Seam Strength

  4. Pilling Resistance


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Colorfastness measures a garment's ability to retain its color when exposed to factors like washing, sunlight, and perspiration.

What is the purpose of conducting a 'pilling test' on a fabric?

  1. To assess its resistance to abrasion

  2. To determine its colorfastness

  3. To evaluate its breathability

  4. To measure its shrinkage


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A pilling test evaluates a fabric's tendency to form small balls of fibers on its surface due to abrasion.

Which metric measures the force required to break a seam?

  1. Seam Strength

  2. Tensile Strength

  3. Tear Strength

  4. Abrasion Resistance


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Seam Strength measures the force required to break a seam, ensuring the garment's durability and resistance to tearing.

What is the primary purpose of conducting a 'dimensional stability test' on a fabric?

  1. To assess its colorfastness

  2. To determine its breathability

  3. To evaluate its shrinkage and growth

  4. To measure its tensile strength


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A dimensional stability test determines a fabric's tendency to shrink or grow when subjected to various conditions, ensuring the garment's fit and shape retention.

Which metric measures the resistance of a fabric to tearing?

  1. Tensile Strength

  2. Tear Strength

  3. Abrasion Resistance

  4. Pilling Resistance


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Tear Strength measures a fabric's resistance to tearing when a force is applied, ensuring its durability and resistance to damage.

What is the purpose of conducting a 'breathability test' on a fabric?

  1. To assess its colorfastness

  2. To determine its moisture-wicking properties

  3. To evaluate its shrinkage and growth

  4. To measure its tensile strength


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A breathability test evaluates a fabric's ability to allow air and moisture to pass through, ensuring the garment's comfort and wearability.

Which metric measures the force required to stretch a fabric to its breaking point?

  1. Tensile Strength

  2. Tear Strength

  3. Abrasion Resistance

  4. Pilling Resistance


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Tensile Strength measures the force required to stretch a fabric to its breaking point, ensuring its durability and resistance to stretching.

What is the primary purpose of conducting an 'abrasion resistance test' on a fabric?

  1. To assess its colorfastness

  2. To determine its breathability

  3. To evaluate its shrinkage and growth

  4. To measure its resistance to wear and tear


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

An abrasion resistance test determines a fabric's ability to withstand wear and tear, ensuring its durability and longevity.

Which metric measures the resistance of a fabric to the formation of wrinkles?

  1. Wrinkle Resistance

  2. Dimensional Stability

  3. Seam Strength

  4. Pilling Resistance


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Wrinkle Resistance measures a fabric's ability to resist the formation of wrinkles, ensuring its neat appearance and ease of care.

What is the purpose of conducting a 'colorfastness test' on a fabric?

  1. To assess its resistance to abrasion

  2. To determine its moisture-wicking properties

  3. To evaluate its shrinkage and growth

  4. To measure its color retention


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A colorfastness test evaluates a fabric's ability to retain its color when exposed to factors like washing, sunlight, and perspiration.

Which metric measures the resistance of a fabric to the growth of bacteria and microorganisms?

  1. Antimicrobial Resistance

  2. Dimensional Stability

  3. Seam Strength

  4. Pilling Resistance


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Antimicrobial Resistance measures a fabric's ability to resist the growth of bacteria and microorganisms, ensuring its hygiene and freshness.

What is the primary purpose of conducting a 'shrinkage test' on a fabric?

  1. To assess its colorfastness

  2. To determine its breathability

  3. To evaluate its shrinkage and growth

  4. To measure its tensile strength


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A shrinkage test determines a fabric's tendency to shrink or grow when subjected to various conditions, ensuring the garment's fit and shape retention.

Which metric measures the resistance of a fabric to the formation of static electricity?

  1. Anti-static Resistance

  2. Dimensional Stability

  3. Seam Strength

  4. Pilling Resistance


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Anti-static Resistance measures a fabric's ability to resist the formation of static electricity, ensuring its comfort and wearability.

What is the purpose of conducting a 'flammability test' on a fabric?

  1. To assess its colorfastness

  2. To determine its moisture-wicking properties

  3. To evaluate its shrinkage and growth

  4. To measure its resistance to fire


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A flammability test evaluates a fabric's resistance to fire, ensuring its safety and compliance with regulations.

Which metric measures the resistance of a fabric to the penetration of water and other liquids?

  1. Water Resistance

  2. Dimensional Stability

  3. Seam Strength

  4. Pilling Resistance


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Water Resistance measures a fabric's ability to resist the penetration of water and other liquids, ensuring its functionality in wet conditions.
