Power Mesh Setting It Correctly on a Tech Pack
Power Mesh should be written into the tech pack with a value, a tolerance and a method. This removes ambiguity from quotations.
Definition to agree
high modulus open warp knit. Working figures for Power Mesh normally sit around 90-160 GSM in mainstream production. Note warp knit machine on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Target value
Open the specification at 90-160 GSM, adjusted to the end use. Record elastane content alongside Power Mesh, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside 90-160 GSM usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
Method line
Always pair the target with warp knit machine so the mill and the laboratory test the same way. Keeping reference values for Power Mesh lets suppliers quote without extra sampling rounds. Ask for conditioning details together with warp knit machine, since both affect the reading.
Tolerance line
State plus or minus limits to keep production realistic while protecting the requirement. Working figures for Power Mesh normally sit around 90-160 GSM in mainstream production. Note warp knit machine on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Approval step
Approve the result on pre-production bulk rather than on development fabric only. Record elastane content alongside Power Mesh, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside 90-160 GSM usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
