Classification

Summary

A profession that inspects the physical and chemical properties of synthetic fiber products and evaluates their quality.

Description

Synthetic fiber inspectors evaluate the physical properties such as tensile strength, elongation, abrasion resistance, and thickness of fibers and fabrics, as well as chemical properties. After cutting out test pieces and performing pre-treatments, they operate various test equipment based on JIS or in-house standards to acquire data. They record and analyze the results, collaborate with quality control departments and manufacturing sites to determine product suitability, and make improvement proposals. Accurate measurement, record management, and equipment calibration and maintenance are required.

Future Outlook

Specialized testing techniques are required to meet the increasing sophistication and diversification of fiber products, and stable demand is expected against the backdrop of labor shortages.
