Ten-Point Fabric Grading System
topic
The ten-point system assigns one to ten penalty points per defect based on a classification table considering defect type, length, and position in the fabric width, with separate point scales for warp direction defects and filling direction defects; total points per running yard are calculated and compared against defined acceptance thresholds for each fabric quality category.
Role
Provides an alternative to the four-point system particularly used in North American textile markets and for technical fabric inspection applications where finer discrimination between defect severity levels and directional classification of warp versus weft defects provides more relevant quality information for end-use performance assessment.
