Scratch Testing with Multi-Finger 5-finger Tester

Many plastics have visco elastic properties and the stresses in the plastic may relax during loading. Plus, plastics demonstrate an elastic recovery after applied stresses are removed. For example, parameters such as scratch width, groove depth, displaced material and severity of the damage may change over time. Other issues that may affect the visual perception of scratches include the color of the sample, amount of strain whitening, scratch direction, lighting and viewing conditions, and the amount of time an observer is allowed to view the sample.


The taber multi finger scratch/mar tester also known as the 5-finger scratch tester, this instrument is used to evaluate the scratch and mar resistance of resilient materials. A variable speed, pneumatically driven sledge is moved below five independent, weighted scratch "fingers" that are equipped with interchangeable scratch tips. Includes: spline shaft 'finger' assembly (5); scratch tip with 1.0mm diameter hemisphere (set of 5); mar tip with 7.0mm diameter hemisphere (set of 5); weight set (consisting of 2N; 3N; 4.5N; 5N; 6N; 7N; 10N; 15N; and 20N); and specimen clamp.
The 'five-finger' scratch tester has been popular in the automotive industry for testing smooth or grained plastics commonly used in ornamentation or trim. Useful for quality control as well as material or product development, the Multi-Finger Scratch / Mar Tester is ideal for evaluating plastics, rigid organic materials, paints and coatings, soft metals,linoleum, plus many others.

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...

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 ...

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...
