Fabric Shrinkage Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Fabric Shrinkage Percentage (SP) is:

\[ SP = \left(\frac{OL - FL}{OL}\right) \times 100 \]

Where:

Fabric Shrinkage (SP): The reduction in size of a fabric after it has been washed or exposed to heat, moisture, and mechanical action.
Original Length (OL): The initial length of the fabric before shrinkage (inches).
Final Length (FL): The length of the fabric after shrinkage (inches).

Let's say the original length (OL) is 100 inches and the final length (FL) is 95 inches. Using the formula:

\[ SP = \left(\frac{100 - 95}{100}\right) \times 100 = 5 \% \]

So, the fabric shrinkage percentage is 5%.
