This document outlines the objectives and content of a course on textile testing. The course covers basic techniques for measuring fabric dimensions, tensile strength, tear strength, burst strength, abrasion resistance, pilling resistance, stiffness, drape, permeability, water resistance, thermal resistance, friction, color fastness, flammability, and dimensional stability. It also provides a brief introduction to special tests for technical textiles measuring properties like moisture management, wet barrier performance, puncture resistance, thermal insulation, and surface resistance. The course aims to provide knowledge of general and advanced textile testing methods and instruments so students understand how to effectively test and evaluate fabrics.
