Three Testing Instruments are Used in Textile Laboratories

It is well-known that a series of product tests are a must for those factories that produce fabric and garments, such as the textile factories, and garment factories. They do that for the purpose of smooth factory sales or reaching the customers' requirements about quality. So what testing instruments are the most commonly used in the textile laboratories? 


1. Martindale Abrasion & Pilling Tester

This instrument is designed for testing the abrasion and pilling of various textiles. In the beginning, the circular specimen is placed on the grinding head and make a contact with a standard woolen fabric abrasive fixed on the grinding table under the specified pressure. Then it will be subjected to multidirectional translational friction in accordance with the LISSAJOUS trajectory. The instrument will stop automatically if the circular specimen has been rubbed for specified times. Finally, we need to compare the standard parameter with the number of textiles that have abrasion and pilling after the experiment so as to get the related data. Martindale abrasion and pilling tester is used to test the abrasion resistance and pilling performance of cotton, hemp, silk woven fabrics, and other textiles. In addition, it can also be applied to test the membrane materials, knitted fabrics, woolen textiles, artificial leather, synthetic leather, gloves, labor protection materials, and so on.


2. Textile Tensile Testing Machine

When textiles are subject to mechanical external forces such as tensile, compression, bending, and friction, they will suffer from fracture, tearing, bursting, or other kinds of damage inevitably. But you can determine the duration of the textiles based on these damages. Universal Textile Tensile Testing Machine is an expert specialized in testing the duration of textiles driven by the external force according to the degree of tearing and rupturing. It can also be used for leather, plastic, paper, and so on.


Firstly, two ends of the material specimen are generally clamped on the two fixtures at a certain distance respectively. The fixtures will not stop separating and stretching the material specimen at a constant speed until the specimen is destroyed. And after that, you can record the change of stress and measure the peak force and yield strength of the products. This tensile tester is broadly classified into two categories, a hydraulic rubber tensile testing machine, and an electronic tensile testing machine for sale in the early days. However, hydraulic tensile testing machines occupy little market share nowadays due to their poor accuracy without meeting the required standard and lack of ability to test equipment with relatively high force values.


During the test process, the Textile Tensile Testing Machine needs to connect with a computer that is used for the collection and analysis of data based on which the testing result and report are made.

3. Moisture Management Tester

The Moisture Management Tester, also named rapid Moisture Management Tester, measures the performance of dynamic liquids, such as transport properties, water absorption， and perspiration when they flow through fabrics or other materials, helping textile testing instruments manufacturers figure out their fabric materials' ability to deal with moisture and predict the perspiration capacity of textiles in the real usage.


The moisture meters evaluate absorption performance by measuring changes in electrical conductivity. Firstly, we need to place the specimen horizontally between the upper and lower sensors equipped with concentric pins and put a drop of the prepared solution on the center of the upper surface of the specimen. Next, we need to measure and record the change in electrical resistance as the solution flows over the whole specimen. The data of the resistance is used to calculate the moisture content. Once the results are available, the fabric will be graded on the basis of water absorption by comparing the predetermined indices.

How to choose a five-star hotel mattress suitable for healthy sleep?

When working outside on a business trip, the hotel is our homestay and residence, so how much do you know about the mattress es used in the hotel? How to choose a five-star hotel mattress suitable for healthy sleep? How to choose a five-star hotel mattress ? The hotel will set up different types of rooms according to different needs and uses of guests. The room classification standards of hotels in different regions, different levels, different types, and different brands are not uniform. There are single rooms, standard rooms, double rooms, suite rooms, apartment rooms, and presidential suites. In addition, some characteristic hotels have characteristic rooms. There are two ways to choose a hotel room mattress :  First, look at the elasticity of the mattress. In order to identify whether the mattress has good elasticity, you can use your knee to test the bed surface, or sit down in the corner of the bed and try to see if the compressed mattress will quickly return to its original shap

What Is Color Matching Booth?

What is color matching booth? Color Matching Booth is used to assess color difference under different light sources. Light booth for color matching is widely used in textiles, toys, dyeing, plastics, paints, inks, printing, pigments, chemicals, footwear, leather, cosmetics, etc. and other color industries for goods color deviation. Gester is Colour Matching Cabinet Manufacturer and supplies it in affordable price. Gester colour matching cabinet meets standard of ASTM D1729, ISO 3664 and etc. Find more color fastness tester here to complete your test! Principle: Different color would appear on test samples due to the different energy radiant of different light sources. Usually, colour matching cabinet would have TL84 light source, D65, UV, F/A, CWF, U30. More light sources like D50, U35, TL83 and etc are available. Operator may assess the color difference by switching the light sources. What lighting is best for color matching? The best "true daylight, color balanced" fluor
