This test method and its accompanying three-dimensional smoothness appearance replica set were developed for evaluation of woven fabrics with a durable press finish. It is common industry practice to use the method and scales for evaluation of other textile materials although some specimens may have different appearance characteristics due to different fabric constructions. This test method is intended to determine the smoothness appearance of fabrics after being subjected to home laundering procedures. Several washing and drying procedures provide standard parameters to represent common home care options. Any washable fabric (woven, knitted or nonwoven) may be evaluated for smoothness appearance using this method.
