Textile & Fabric Testing Instruments
By testing the performance of the textiles,manufactures can make sure that their textiles live up to the high expectations on the market and that they are strong and flexible enough to do the job that they were designed for.
Most common test types of textiles,fabrics, cloths as well as some fibers includes tear resistance, compressive strength, tensile strength, puncture resistance, as well as air permeability, thickness, coefficient of friction and etc.
Many types of these tests can be performed on Labthink high-precision test machines.
Common test standards for textiles include:
- ASTM D737 -- Standard Test Method for Air Permeability of Textile Fabrics
- ASTM D1777 -- Standard Test Method for Thickness of Textile Materials
- ISO 9237 – determination of thepermeability of fabrics to air
- ISO 6452 – Coated Fabrics – Determination of Fogging characteristics or trim materials in the interior of automobiles
- ASTM D1424 -- Standard Test Method for Tearing Strength of Fabrics by Falling-Pendulum(Elmendorf-Type) Apparatus
- ASTM D2256 – Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Yarns by the Single-Strand Method
- ASTM D5587 – Standard Test Method for Tearing Strength of Fabrics by Trapezoid Procedure
Tensile Strength Tester
Tensile Strength Tester includes Tensile Strength, Shear, Peel Strength, Tear Strenth and Seal Strength Test. 6 Models are available for customer choices according their requirements.
Water Vapor Peremability Tester
Water Vapor Permeability Tester is for the WVTR test of flexible films, sheets, foils and packages. Test methods includes electrolytic sensor, infrared sensor, humidity sensor and cup method.
SLY-S1 Elmendorf Tearing Tester
SLY-S1 is based on Elmendorf method to measure tearing strength of plastic films, textile, woven and non-woven materials. Labthink tear tester is a user-friend instrument and test range is from 200gf to 6400gf with suitable pendulum.
Coefficient of Friction Tester
Labthink Coefficient of Friction tester can measure static and kinetic cof of materials according to ASTM D1894, ISO 8295 etc. COF-P01 can test cof on a clined plant.
Thickness Measurement
Labthink Thickness Testers are based on mechanical contacting method, which means more accuracy and precision.
TQD-G1 Air Permeability Tester
TQD-G1 is professionally applicable to the determination of air permeability of decorating materials used in cars, e.g. polyurethane, expanded plastics, PVC, leather, textiles, non-woven and other materials.
FT-F1 Fogging Tester
FT-F1 is professionally applicable to the fogging characteristics evaluation of volatile constituents of decorating materials used in cars and aircrafts, e.g. plastic articles, polyurethane, textiles, leather, adhesives, non-woven and thermal forming elastomers at high temperature conditions
