The easy test method to estimate the mercerizing effect.

The latest test method to estimate the mercerizing effect is described bellow

After mercerization, we need to test the effect on textile fibre. We can estimate this different testing and measurement system. The most popular test method is given step by step:

-First, take 10ml of 0.25N Ba(OH)2 in a beaker, then titration with 0.1N HCl and methyl orange as an indicator.

-At the endpoint yellow color solution changes to a pink color solution, and then the titration is completed.

-The measure the amount of HCl used for titration, Let HCl= x ml

-Now take 2gm of mercerized sample

-Then, the sample is immersed into the 30ml of 0.25N Ba (OH)2 solution for 4hoursand then taken out.

-Then, take 10ml of left out Ba (OH)2 solution by pipette in a beaker.

-Now titration with 0.1N HCl and methyl orange as an indicator.

-The measure the amount of HCl used for titration, Let HCl= y ml
