Sample Preparation and Test Procedure of Fabric Stiffness Measurement

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 force-measurement gauge. In the case of modern digital models, this force can be measured to the nearest 0.001 pounds. Once the force is recorded, the gauge is reset and these steps are repeated until all five specimens are tested. These five results are then averaged and reported as fabric stiffness.

Classfication Of The Textile Testing

Textile testing is the term for a whole series of tests that examine the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of textiles. These tests are sometimes done before a textile goes into widespread use, or they're done on textiles arriving from other countries for sale in US markets. Countries like the United States have established standards for what should and should not be in textile products. Tests can show whether companies making textiles are in compliance or not. Many textile tests have many types. Some of them are physical tests, in which a sample of textile material is examined closely for feel and appearance. Such tests are done on individual fibers or strands of material and on yarns, threads made of several fibers twisted together. Textiles are subjected to light and other elements to see how they react. Some of these tests are done in a weather-ometer, a machine that tests for weathering and lightfastness of textiles. It's basically an enclosed box. Textiles...

Synthetic Blood Penetration Tester for Medical Face Mask

  Features of Synthetic Blood Penetration Tester: 1. Mask fixture is metal human head mold, which can fully simulate the actual use state of the mask. 2. Metal human head mold can be rotated at a certain angle, which is convenient for sample clamping. 3. Specially designed injection control device, a certain volume of synthetic blood can be sprayed in the controlled time. 4. Instrument uses a gas source that can provide (700±25) kPa stable air pressure. 5. It can simulate the liquid injection velocity corresponding to the human blood pressure 10.6 kPa、16.0kPa 、21.3kPa (i.e .80 mmHg、120mmHg、160mmHg) for the test. 6. A fixed target plate is provided to block the high pressure edge part of the ejected liquid flow, only the steady flow part is sprayed on the area sample, which increases the accuracy and repeatability of the test. 7. This blood penetration testing equipment uses imported special aluminum wire drawing panel, equipped with metal keys, sensitive operation, not easy to dama...

Determination of air permeability of a fabric-air permeability tester

Fabric air permeability is a measure to what extent it gives air passing through the fabric. Air permeability, a given area in the vertical direction of the air flow rate, a given time period, is measured by the fabric test area inside the pressure difference of the fabric. Basically, it depends on weight, thickness and porosity of fabric. The porosity of fabric is the demonstration of the air gap as a percentage within fabric. It has been important for especially the tent fabric, parachute fabric, raincoat fabric and garment, the fabric used in air bags, industrial filters and sail cloth. Moreover, when thermal properties of clothing and body interaction are taken into consideration, there has been the effect of air permeability. there is an instrument which is designed to test the air permeability of fabric on the market .it is air permeability tester . Air permeability is an important feature of fabrics (Sundaramoorthy et al., 2011) and is one of the main factors affecting the t...
