Abstract: A new kind of clothing pressure testing system was introduced. Tight-fitting knitted clothing samples with three different kinds of elongation and four kinds of knitted fabricswere prepared. Both the clothing pressure distribution and the influencing rules of clothing pressure performance of tightfitting knitted fabrics based on their fabric elongation as well as ample quantity were also discussed. The experimental results show that the pressure distribution rules are similar regardless of which kind of knitted fabric is used, and the higher the elongation and ample quantity, the greater the clothing pressure.

Key words: clothing pressure; testing; tight-fitting knitted clothing; elongation; ample quantity
