Expert Commentary
Governs the Stiffness of Fabric by the Circular Bend Method. A plunger pushes a fabric swatch through an orifice. The engineering metric is the Force to Push, which correlates with the fabric’s Drape and Hand. MTO provides the standardized Orifice Plate and Plunger fixture. This is a critical quality metric for the textile industry, particularly for surgical gowns and protective clothing where the material must be stiff enough to resist puncture but flexible enough for the wearer to move comfortably.
