1 Scope
This part of GB/T 23319 specifies three procedures (diagonal marking, inverted-T marking and mock-garment marking) to measure the spirality of woven and knitted fabrics after laundering.
The results obtained from different procedures may not be comparable.
This part is not intended to measure the spirality of fabrics as manufactured, but rather the spirality after laundering.
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.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this part of GB/T 23319, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
spirality
?in textiles? fabric condition, wherein filling yarns or knitted courses are angularly displaced from a line perpendicular to the edge or side of a fabric or garment
4 Principle
Test specimens are cut, prepared, marked, and laundered according to specified procedures. Spirality is measured in millimetres, percentage of a marked distance, or angle of nonverticality.
