<p>This document specifies three procedures (diagonal marking, inverted-T marking and mock-garment marking) to measure the spirality or torque of woven and knitted fabrics after domestic laundering.</p>
<p>The results obtained from different procedures will not always be comparable.</p>
<p>This document is not intended to measure the spirality of fabrics as manufactured, but rather the spirality after laundering.</p>
<p>NOTE Some fabric constructions, such as denim, can have spirality intentionally introduced during manufacturing. Fabrics made on circular knitting machines can have inherent nonverticality of wale alignment.</p>
