The Application of Shoe Slip Resistance Testing Machine

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 controls provided and the unique design of the circuitry ensure the appropriate forces and speed of motion are maintained through the duration of the test.

The control console houses a computer which manages the data acquisition as well as providing graphical representation of the test data and provides the coefficient of friction for each sample tested.

The determination of friction or slip resistance is a complex procedure and requires the careful and accurate monitoring of a number of different parameters in a relatively short time. The requirements of the various test standards place great importance on the timing and the way results are obtained during a test. The determination of the coefficient of friction requires accurate control.

How To Process The Elmendorf Tear Strength Test

The Elmendorf tear tester has been developed specially for the paper industry and is outstanding for simplicity of operation and high measurement accuracy. The exchangeable pendulum is equipped with a pneumatic sample clamp. The initiation and return of the pendulum, as well as sample cutting is completely automatic. The device is operated via an integrated touch screen, where the test method can be selected, specific settings can be adjusted, and, after the measurement, results and statistics can be  displayed.Each pendulum is supplied with the appropriate control weight so that, with the help of the service program, it can easily be checked for functionality and balance. The Elmendorf tear test Procedure:     Cotton fabric was taken.     Warp and weft direction of the fabric was identified.     Two strips were cut from the fabric in both directions having dimensions of 100 x 63.5 mm.     The sample was then fixed in the jaws of the ...

Correct Use Of Color Assessment Cabinet

Observation Angle: The following points are all the facilities required for the Color Assessment Cabinet , and the viewing Angle will directly affect the evaluation results. According to international standards, there are only two observable angles that can be used. They are: A, zero light source and 45 degrees observation (0 °, 45 °), the light from zero (vertical) incident Angle on the sample, sample watchers from 45 degrees. B, light source and 45 ° inclined channel 45 degrees of light source, zero observation (0 °, 45 °), the layout must use specific 45 degrees of inclined (45 ° Fixed Angle table) making from 45 degrees of light source on the samples, sample watchers from zero (vertical). The location of the 45 ° light samples: Regardless of any of the above observation methods, it is important to note that the test sample is placed in the middle of the light box as far as possible to reduce the influence of the external light source. In addition, the most important thing...

The Scratch Tester Working Principle From Qinsun LAB

The scratch test machine is used to evaluate the shear, scratch, planing, scraping and engraving performance of the material. Its applications include rigid organic materials, plastics and glass, and so on. The test parameters, such as the speed of scratches, the length of scratches, the distance between scratches and the number of lines, are the test equipment with strong applicability and convenience. scratch tester Working principle: Coating has three aspects: the action of protection, decoration, and hide the defects of products, and the three main hardness has a lot to do with paint, paint film hardness is said film one of the important properties of mechanical strength, is an important indicator of measuring coating product quality, and measure the coating hardness is an important index of the scratch resistance of determination; Coating good product in the process of packaging, transport and use will draw by hard brush, not row brush the paint film is often leave scratc...
