Compression and Thickness Under Load
topic
Compression testing measures fabric thickness reduction under incremental pressure loads using a pressiometer, quantifying compressibility ratio and resilience by comparing thickness at low and high pressures; dynamic compression cycling reveals viscoelastic recovery and permanent set characteristics.
Role
Determines padding efficiency in sportswear, mattress fabrics, nonwoven interlinings, and wound dressings where controlled compression response under body weight or external force governs product function.
