The main aim of the study is to present a new innovative method designed by the author of non-destructive, accurate and morphometrical identification of fabric structural parameters, individual inter-thread pores (ITPs) in particular. The description parameters and fabric structure assessment methodology with the use of digital image analysis with author's copyrighted MagFABRIC software were created specifically for this analysis.
The ITP parameters were described in three aspects: size, shape and location in the fabric structure. The study was conducted on two groups of fabrics: plain and twill weave. The need for a bimodal analysis of the fabric structure parameters was indicated, as it allowed for the structure differences identification in the test fabrics. The analysis results were compared to the air permeability test. The developed methodology is relevant to specialized fabrics (e.g. barrier fabrics, industrial filters and any other fabric where the ITP area is an important parameter).
