The formula to calculate the Fabric Shrinkage Percentage (SP) is:
\[ SP = \left(\frac{OL - FL}{OL}\right) \times 100 \]
Where:
Let's say the original length (OL) is 100 inches and the final length (FL) is 95 inches. Using the formula:
\[ SP = \left(\frac{100 - 95}{100}\right) \times 100 = 5 \% \]
So, the fabric shrinkage percentage is 5%.
Definition: Shrinkage percentage is the percentage reduction in the size of a fabric after washing or processing.
Formula: \( \text{Shrinkage Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Original Length} - \text{Final Length}}{\text{Original Length}} \right) \times 100 \)
Example: \( \text{Shrinkage Percentage} = \left( \frac{100 - 95}{100} \right) \times 100 \)
Definition: Shrinkage rate is the rate at which a fabric shrinks over a period of time.
Formula: \( \text{Shrinkage Rate} = \frac{\text{Shrinkage Percentage}}{\text{Time}} \)
Example: \( \text{Shrinkage Rate} = \frac{5}{1} \)
Definition: Shrinkage is the reduction in size of a fabric after washing or processing.
Formula: \( \text{Shrinkage} = \text{Original Length} - \text{Final Length} \)
Example: \( \text{Shrinkage} = 100 - 95 \)
Definition: Percent shrinkage is the percentage reduction in the size of a fabric after washing or processing.
Formula: \( \text{Percent Shrinkage} = \left( \frac{\text{Original Length} - \text{Final Length}}{\text{Original Length}} \right) \times 100 \)
Example: \( \text{Percent Shrinkage} = \left( \frac{100 - 95}{100} \right) \times 100 \)
Definition: The cost of shrinkage is the financial loss due to the reduction in size of a fabric after washing or processing.
Formula: \( \text{Cost of Shrinkage} = \text{Shrinkage Percentage} \times \text{Cost per Unit Length} \)
Example: \( \text{Cost of Shrinkage} = 5 \times 10 \)
