Question

The abrasion resistance of fabric is affected by
A. fabric length
B. fabric cover factor
C. fabric weave
D. yarn crimp Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. A, B, C only
• B. A, C, D only
• C. B, C, D only
• D. A, B, D only

Hint:

Abrasion resistance is all about how the "surface" is built. Fabric length is just a dimension of the roll, not a property of the weave.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Abrasion resistance is the ability of a fabric to withstand surface wear caused by rubbing.

Step 1: Structural Factors.

• B (Fabric cover factor): A higher cover factor (tighter pack) generally improves resistance as fibers are better protected.
• C (Fabric weave): Smooth weaves like satin have long floats that can be easily abraded, whereas plain weaves are usually more durable due to frequent interlacing.
• D (Yarn crimp): Higher crimp allows the fabric to "yield" or compress under abrasive force, often improving durability.

Step 2: Exclusion.
A (Fabric length) refers to the total length of the fabric roll (e.g., 100 meters) and has no influence on the inherent material property of abrasion resistance.
