AB  - Woven fabric thickness (t) is its third dimension, which is considerably smaller than the fabric width and length, but at the same time it is very important because it affects the usage and properties of the fabric. During stretching, the fabric thickness is changing depending on the value of the tensile force. In an effort to be as precisely as possible to measure dynamic thickness changes of the fabric, and simultaneously collect all the required values about the change of the tensile force, extension and the area on which tensile force acts, new measuring apparatus are designed and manufactured. This measuring apparatus allows the simultaneous measurement of dynamic thickness of fabric, the fabric contraction and related tensile axial forces.
