  Scratch Resistant tester is a motorised scratch tester used to test the resistance of many materials to scratching, shearing, gouging, marring, scraping and engraving.The height of the scale beam is adjusted by the user to match the thickness of the sample. The tool, a conical diamond tip, is then placed on the sample and the instrument is activated by the user with the On/Off switch. The tip leaves a trace mark and the extent of this, in relation to the load used, indicates the degree of coating or material hardness. The turntable rotates at a constant 5rpm to ensure repeatability and reproducibility of tests. By changing the load on the tool, from 0 - 1000g (0 - 2.2lb), the sample’s scratch resistance can be  evaluated. Scratch tester is applicable to all types of wiping performance test of automotive interior materials; test equipment integrated three domestic standards (fingers scraping method, a hundred grid method, and plastic scraping finger scraping method).

The Fabric Pilling Tester Test Process: 1. Sample production: (1) pretreatment: if pretreatment is required,use water washing or dry cleaning for samples. (In order to protect the friction surface of the box and the sample tube from the fabric residual lubricant or finishing agent, the pretreatment is proposed) (2) Cut four samples from the fabric sample and cut a piece of the same size for comparison reference. Two specimens were folded inwardly along the longitudinal direction, and two specimens were folded in the transverse direction, and sewn with a sewing machine at a distance of 12 mm from the edge. (3)Turn over the suture sample with front face outward.  Cut 6 mm port in the sample tube at both ends  to remove the sewing deformation. Place the sample on a polyurethane carrier tube and secure it with PVC tape (6 mm to ensure that both ends of the polyurethane are exposed and the tape length should not exceed 1.5 times the circumference of the polyurethane tube). 2. Test pr

A number of important points require consideration before abrasion resistance tests are carried out. The choice of the method may be governed by the type of apparatus available, the precision demanded and so forth. Some of the more important points are condition of the specimen, choice of testing instrument, choice of abrasive motion, direction of abrasion, choice of abradant, backing the specimen, cleanliness of the specimen and instrument, tension on the specimen, pressure between abradant and specimen, end-point of the test etc.  Now there are various abrasion resistance testing instruments available for example, the WIRA abrasion tester, the LIRA abrasion tester, the Taber abraser , the Shiefer machine, the Wyzenbeek abrasion tester , the Stoll universal wear tester, the LINRA wear tester, the BFT abrasion tester etc. The abrasion tester we used here is made by Qinsun Instrument. In this instrument abrasion surfaces wrapping by sand paper are used to abrade the fabric samples.

The Wyzenbeek abrasion tester test is used primarily in North America. The test was originally developed to determine the ability of automotive tires to withstand road abrasion. This abrasion testing method has been modified to test all types of materials against abrasion. In its various iterations, the test can be used to test clothing textiles, leather, upholstery fabric, automotive tires and floor covering. Wyzenbeek abrasion tester test is used to determine the abrasion resistance of fabrics when rubbed against a standard abradant or a wire mesh screen in a backward and forward motion over a curved surface. Particularly it’s suitable for abrasion resistance of fabrics used in the automotive and furniture industry. The instrument follows the U.S. standard with four friction heads and electronic counters to control the operating cycle. Though considered a stringent test, the Wyzenbeek does not necessarily measure “real life” conditions. The fabric to be tested is stretche

Sample preparation To ensure consistent fabric properties day after day, all test specimens are first conditioned to approximately 70 degrees Fahrenheit and 65% relative humidity. Once the fabrics are adequately conditioned, test specimens are cut to 8 inches by 4 inches. To ensure the results are representative of the fabric in question, five individual specimens are cut from different locations on a roll of fabric. Next, the specimens are folded in half, resulting in a 4-inch-square folded test specimen. For consistency in testing fabrics that have a different face and back, samples are always folded so the technical face of the fabric is on the outside. Test procedure When a specimen has been prepared, it is placed on the orifice platform and is ready for testing. At this point, the plunger is activated and begins pushing the sample down through the orifice. Once the plunger has forced the fabric through the specimen, the maximum force required to do so is displayed on the

Slips, trips and falls are the biggest causes of footwear-related accidents. The risk of compensation claims for injuries due to slipping are a major concern for footwear companies. Ensuring all footwear has an adequate level of slip resistance is essential. Qinsun ’ s internationally established slip resistance tester is designed to help ensure that problems of slip are minimised. A normal walking step commences with heel strike and ends as the toe is lifted from the ground. Slip is most likely to occur shortly after heel strike and just before toe lift when half body weight is being applied. Qinsun  equipment measures the slip resistance between the sole of the shoe/boot and the floor. The machine incorporates a specially-designed control and data acquisition system which provides the user with the coefficient of friction for each test sample. This is achieved by close control of the forces involved including the speed of motion provided by a variable speed motor. The

In a  washing machine , steam and  water  form a dynamic duo. Steam complements water in the cleaning process by keeping the fabrics soft and wrinkle-free. Qinsun-lab  explains the different advantages that steam can offer when applied in three different stages of a washing machine cycle: Pre-wash phase: While the water loads into the wash tub, the steam works with the water to help soak the fabrics more thoroughly. During the washing phase: If added while the detergent is mixed with the water, the steam increases the temperature of the wash tub to improve the cleaning power, which also helps to activate the detergent. It does this by dissolving the detergent more effectively, to get the most out of it as possible. Post-wash phase: Steam added after washing lends more high temperatures to the tub to sterilize the clothes. It also softens the clothes to remove hard wrinkles that formed while the clothes tossed in the tub. The patent goes on to explain that when some fa

The viewing cabinet shall be situated in a darkened room. Place the tested specimen and a piece of the original sample, with or without pretreatment ,centrally on the lectern in the viewing cabinet, with the length direction vertical. If necessary use a piece of self-adhesive PVC tape to ensure correct placement. Mount the tested specimen on the left and the original sample on the right. In order to prevent glare from the light source view each specimen from just outside the viewing cabinet, directly in front of the specimen. Due to the subjective nature of the assessment, it is recommended that more than one observer assess the specimens. Grade each specimen in accordance with the grading scheme given in Table1. If the grading appears between two grades, report the“half”grading as,for example,3-4. The test result for each individual observer is the average off our specimen grades. The test result for the laboratory sample is the average of the observer grades. Phot
