Transcript of 5 Categorization of Fabric Defects as Major, Minor
Categorization of fabric defects as major, minor and critical defects
Critical Defects
A critical defect results in hazardous or unsafe conditions for individuals using , maintaining, or depending on the product or prevents performance of a tactical function of a major end use item. These defects are not common with textile products but they may occur with some occupational apparel
Major defect
.
Major defects are those that adversely affect either the appearance of the product or its function and performance. Major Defect - A defect that, if conspicuous on the finished product, would cause the item to be a second. (A "second" is a garment with a conspicuous defect that affects the saleability or serviceability of the item.
Minor DefectsA defect that would not cause the product to be termed a second either because of severity or location. When inspecting piece goods prior to cutting, it is necessary to rate questionable defects as major, since the inspector will not know where the defect may occur on the item.

This was a healthy discussion towards categorization of fabric defectsAlthough it also depend on buyer to decide as customer is the KING
Defects Due to Yarn
Broken filaments - It occurs when the individual filaments constituting the main yarn are broken. This defect can not be mended.
Defects Due to Yarn
Coloured Flecks : Presence of coloured foreign matter in the yarn. It can be mended.
Defects Due to Yarn
Knots : It occurs when broken threads are pieced together by improper knotting. This can be mended by cutting.Minor
Defects Due to Yarn
Slub : A slub is a bunch of fibres having less twist or no twist and has a wider diameter compared to normal spun yarn. It can be mended.
Defects Due to Yarn
Slubby weft - A slubby weft is the occurrence of slubs at frequent intervals in the weft yarn.
Due to Weaving:
Double end : When two or more endsunintentionally get woven as one. This defect is characterized by a thick bar running parallel to the warp. It can be mended.
Due to Weaving:
Missing ends : This fabric is characterized bya gap parallel to the warp. The number of ends missing may be one or more. It can not be mended.
Defects Due to Weaving:
Broken ends woven in a bunch : This defect is caused by a bunch of broken ends woven in the fabric. It can be mended.
Due to Weaving:
Reed marks : A pronounced warp way crack caused by a damaged or defective reed. It can be mended.
Due to Weaving:
Lashing-in : An extra piece of yarn woven intothe fabric near the selvedge. It can be mended.
Due to Weaving:
Broken pattern : A broken pattern is the non-continuity of a weave/design/pattern. It can not be mended.
Due to Weaving:
Weft bar - An unwanted bar, runningacross the full width of a piece which differs in appearance from the adjacent normal fabric. This defect can not be mended.
Due to Weaving:
Weft crack or Missing Pick- A narrow streak running parallel with weft threads caused due to absence of weft. It can be mended.
Due to Weaving:
Gout : Gout is a foreign matter usually lint or waste accidentally woven into the fabric. It can be mended easily.
Due to Weaving:
Stains: These are defects of oil, rust, grease or other stains found in the fabric. Stains can be removed with stain remover.
Due to Weaving:Oily Warp: These are oily or soiled warp Oily Weft : Streaks of dirty and oily weft appearing across the width of the cloth, can be full or partial.
Due to Weaving:
Snarls : A short length of yarn, mainly theweft, which has spontaneously doubled back on itself results in snarls. If low in number it can be mended.
Due to Weaving:Hole, Cut or Tear
Knitted fabric defects
Barriness:
An unintentional, repetitive visual pattern of continuous bars and strips usually parallel to the course-wise direction of circular knit fabric.Minor
Knitted fabric defects
Variation in Yarn Count : Use of yarn withsignificantly different yarn count or having higher imperfections leading to variation in dye uptake
Knitted fabric defects
Cotton Contamination: Dark Stainsundetectable on grey cotton fabric and appearing after dyeing
Knitted fabric defects
Vertical stripes: A defect that occurs due to defective needles or sinkers
Knitted fabric defects
Horizontal stripes: Happens when the yarn consumption is not uniform at all the feeders.
Knitted fabric defects
Holes: Happens due to breakage of yarnduring loop formation.
Knitted fabric defects
Dropped stitches: this defect is causedwhen the yarn in occasionally unhooked by the needle.
Knitted fabric defects
Fabric Spirality: Distortion of knittedfabric. Wales are not perpendicular to the courses; instead follow a spiral path round the axis of knitted fabric tube
Knitted fabric defects
Stretch marks on fabric surface: Due to Lycra Damage
Knitted fabric defects
Curling at Edges on Cutting: Turning ofknitted fabric on cutting. Happens due to low tightness factor of the fabric or high yarn twist.
Bleaching SpotThe fabric is characterized by a yellow tint in the bleached cloth. In bleached goods such a difference will not be acceptable.
Uneven dyeing/Patchy dyeing
The fabric is characterized by an area of light or heavy dyeing along and across the width of the fabric. It also includes shade variation and heavy or light dyeing on selvedges. Happens mainly due to water hardness, presence of calcium, magnesium, chlorine or heavy metals in the dye bath; defective padding
Dye barA bar in the weft direction due to a difference in the yarn count or fibre content or defective padding roller
Misprint/Stencil mark /Overlapping
Blockage in screen Fold in the fabric Improper handling of screen/stencil
Uneven printing or tinting
In a printed fabric the design at one place is bold as required, while at other place the same is hazy, light and unclear.
Water Mark
An unwanted ripple effect/light mark produced on the fabric is known as a water mark.Due to falling drops of condensate during stentering or dyeing in jigger
Dye stuff stain
An unwanted coloured mark on a fabric qualifies as a dye stuff stain. Mainly happens due to poor pre-treatment, insufficient MLR, residual contaminants in the substrate & water, poor material handling ,dye paste is not filtered, improper rinsing/washing off Major after dyeing
Oil StainsImproper oiling of machine Poor material handling
White spotThe fabric is characterized by a white spot on an otherwise well dyed fabric. Happens due to incompatibility of mixture of dyes, or colours are not properly dissolved
Shading or listing
A gradual change of shade from selvedge to the body of the fabric (called centre to selvedge) or a gradual change of shade from one selvedge to another selvedge (called selvedge to selvedge).
Bowing
Bowing is a condition of a fabric wherein the warp and the weft yarns do not keep at right angles to each other.
PillingThe entangling of fibres during washing, drycleaning or while being worn which form balls or pills and stand on the surface of the fabric.
Stain near Metallic zipper/ buttonInsufficient washing or neutralization of garment during wet processing resulting in higher acidity or alkalinity of the fabric
Poor Dimensional StabilityImproper heat setting in polyester fabric Sanforising/zero-zero process is not used Excessive stretching during stentering & other processing
Poor Colorfastness to Washing
Inadequate rinsing of the fabric before oxidation (Vat & Sulphur dyeing) Premature or over-oxidation of the dye Poor washing-off after treatment
Poor Colorfastness to RubbingDyes used of poor rubbing fastness Improper use of finishing agents Incomplete washing-off Un-mercerized cotton
Poor Colourfastness to Light Using
dye of poor colour fastness to light
Lycra Yarn Breakage Due
to improper wet processing i.e excessive treatment during wet processing
