ISO 16322-3:2021 Textiles — Determination of spirality after laundering — Part 3: Woven and knitted garments. 1 Scope This document specifies procedures to measure the spirality or torque of woven and knitted garments after domestic laundering. The results obtained from different procedures might not be comparable. This document is not intended to measure the spirality of garments as manufactured, but rather the spirality after domestic laundering. NOTE Some fabric constructions, such as denim, can have spirality intentionally introduced during manufacturing. Garments made of fabrics from circular knitting machines can have inherent nonverticality of wale alignment. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.

Spirality is measured in percentage of a marked distance. 9 Laundering 9.1 Select laundering conditions according to ISO 6330 that correspond to those which the garment will be exposed. 9.2 Perform the selected number of laundering cycles. 9.3 After the final laundering cycle, condition garments in the standard atmosphere for testing textiles according to ISO 139. 10 Assessment 10.1 General Specimens should be placed flat on a smooth surface in their natural orientation.
