A STUDY OF SEAM LEAKAGE IN COATED FABRICS

Abstract

Extensive investigations of sewn seams in coated fabrics have been conducted. The relative roll of thread, sewing machine components, stitch and seam types and properties of fabrics have been evaluated as parameters involved in seam leakage. Utilization of various experimental seam constructions, gasketing, application of heat during seam sewing and other techniques were attempted as potentially useful approaches in combating seam leakage.
