A newly developed international standard for quantifying material behavior in terms of drapability and deformability was recently published by ISO as ISO 21765:2020, according to precision testing ...

As such production processes are becoming increasingly automated, drapability and the detection of defects such as gaps, loops, or wrinkles during draping become even more important. The new automatic ...

Development of the automatic drapability tester began in 2011 with an early prototype from noncrimp fabric (NCF) producer SAERTEX (Saerbeck, Germany) and a working group of German partners including ...

The new standard ISO 21765 allows the world-wide comparable measurement of all relevant parameters regarding the deformability and drapability of all kinds of fabrics, including woven fabrics and NCFs ...
