[0066]FIGS. 3-15 illustrate representative woven and knit fabrics enhanced in accordance with the method of the invention, employing test conditions which simulate the line of FIG. 1. Table II sets forth specifications for the fabrics illustrated in the drawings.
[0067]As in the FIG. 1 line, the test manifolds 30 were spaced approximately 8 inches apart in modules 16, 18, and provided with densely packed columnar jet orifices 32 of approximately 60 / inch. Orifices 32 each had a diameter of 0.005 inches and were spaced approximately 0.5 inches from the first and second support members 22, 34.
[0068]The process line of FIG. 1 includes enhancement modules 16, 18 which, respectively, are provided with six manifolds. In the Examples, modules 16, 18 were each fitted with two manifolds 34. To simulate line conditions, the fabrics were advanced through multiple runs on the line. Three processing runs in each two manifold module was deemed to be equivalent to a six manifold module.

example xiv
[0097]A plain woven 100% polyester fabric comprised of friction spun yarn having the following specifications was processed in accordance with the inventive: count of 16×10 yarns / in2, weight of 8 ounces / yd2, an abrasion resistance of 500 grams (measured by 50 cycles of a CS17 abrasion test wheel) and an air permeability of 465 ft3 / ft2 / min.
[0098]The fabric was processed on a test line to simulate a speed of 300 ft / min. on process apparatus including four drums 42 and eighteen nozzles 16 at a pressure of approximately 1500 psi. Energy output to fabric at these process parameters was approximately 0.46 hp-hr / lb. Table XII sets forth control and processed characteristics of the fabric.

[0103]Fabrics processed in Examples XIV-XVI are characterized by a substantial reduction in air permeability and increase in abrasion resistance. Process energy levels in these Examples were approximately 0.46 hp-hr / lb. It has been discovered that there is a correlation between process energy and enhancement. Increased energy levels yield optimum enhancement effects.
