American Standard Whirlpool Shrinkage Dryer
The American Standard Whirlpool Shrinkage Test Dryer is designed for drying textile specimens and garments after laundering to evaluate dimensional changes, including shrinkage and elongation. It is based on the Whirlpool 3LWED4900YW tumble dryer and is intended for laboratory testing of knitted fabrics, woven fabrics, and finished garments.
The dryer supports standardized drying conditions used in textile testing and can be used with compatible washing equipment to evaluate dimensional changes after repeated laundering. It also supports drying and appearance evaluation workflows for assessing garment care requirements and preparing textile care label recommendations.
