Testing Seams for use in Apparel Designed for Protection Against Steam

Authors: , , ,

Abstract

While developing apparel with semi-permeable fabric systems that are able to withstand hazards invoked by steam it is critical to examine the seams. Seams are the ubiquitous part of apparel where two or more fabric pieces are joined by stitching, thermal bonding, stapling or adhering (ASTM D7722-11).
