Method of sublimation fastness tester

Heat color fastness tester can be done in dry, tide, wet environment, which depends on the use of textiles. Heat color fastness refers to the ability to keep original color of dyed fabrics under conditions of different heat. The machine using in heat color fastness test is Ironing Sublimation Color Fastness Tester. When testing, dyed sample pasting with one or two prescribed adjacent fabric contact closely with heating device, heated in a certain time under specified temperature and pressure.

 

Dry pressing means dry sample is pressed in heating device with prescribed temperature and pressure in a certain time; tide pressing means dry sample is pressed in heating device with prescribed temperature and pressure in a certain time after it is covered by a wet cotton adjacent fabric; wet pressing means wet sample is pressed in heating device with prescribed temperature and pressure in a certain time after it is covered by a wet cotton adjacent fabric. Discoloration of sample and staining of adjacent fabric are measured by gray cards.

 

Heat Color Fastness Test：

Preparation of Test Apparatus and Materials

Ironing Sublimation washing color fastness tester, Multi-fiber Adjacent Fiber or Standard Single Fiber Adjacent Fabric, Sample to be Tested.

 

Testing Method：

a) Sample Preparation

If tested sample is fabric, take a sample of 40mm*100mm. If tested sample is yarn, weave it as a fabric and take a sample of 40mm*100mm; or yarn is winded closely on a hot inert material of 40mm*100mm to form a thin layer which is just equal to yarn thickness. If sample is scattered fiber, take enough amount and comb into a thin layer of 40mm*100mm, then sewing on a cotton adjacent fabric.

 

b) Operating Procedure

Combined sample is laid between two metal heating plates controlled precisely by heating system, heated under moderate temperature and pressure. The press temperature depends on fiber types and organizational structure of fabrics and garments. We usually use three types of temperature: 110℃±2℃, 150℃±2℃, 200℃±2℃. If necessary, you can adopt other temperature. If sample is blended fabric, the used temperature should conform to least heat-resistant fibers.

The tested sample which has been made heating and dry treatment must adjust its moisture in standard atmosphere before testing.

Asbestos board, wool Flannel, dry unstained cotton should be covered all the time, no matter whether the down heating plate of heating device is heating.


The fabric is subjected to hot pressing as required.

Dry pressing: dry sample is placed on the cotton cloth covered by wool flannel liner; put the up heating plate down, to hot press it for 15s in specified temperature.


Tide pressing: dry sample is placed on the cotton cloth covered by wool flannel liner; Take a cotton adjacent fabric of 40mm*100mm, soak it in water, and make its water content equal to its quality through squeezing or throwing, then put the wet fabric on the dry sample; put the up heating plate down, to hot press it for 15s in specified temperature.


Wet pressing: the tested sample is soaked together with a cotton adjacent fabric of 40mm*100mm in water, and make its water content equal to its quality through squeezing or throwing, then put it on the cotton cloth covered by wool flannel liner; put the up heating plate down, to hot press it for 15s in specified temperature.


Take the tested sample out, use gray cards to evaluate discoloration of original sample and staining degree of white cloth. Then put it in standard atmosphere (means temperature is 20℃±2℃, relative humidity is 65%±2%) for 4 hours, then evaluate it again.

How to Hang a Suspended Ceiling From Steel Beams

The suspended ceiling hangs under the roof or floor structure above, hiding ugly mechanical and electrical equipment from the view, while also allowing you to easily reach these equipment as needed.While wooden frames usually support such ceilings, in rooms where metal frames are used instead of traditional wood, you can also hang ceilings from steel beams.Hanging the ceiling from the beam requires you to use a special clip to connect the support line to the beam without compromising its structural integrity.Measure 4 inch down from the bottom of the lowest beam, pipe or pipe in the ceiling space.If you plan to use panel fluorescent lamps in your ceiling, add an additional 2 inch to this measurement.Make a mark on the wall indicating the location of the facade.Set up a laser level to extend the mark you made on the wall to the entire wall length.Draw a chalk line on the wall to mark the position.Mark all four walls repeatedly with chalk lines indicating the height of the ceiling.Instal

Importance of Calibration Service, Material Testing

When it comes to Calibration services, genuine service providers offer full recall system and data sheets for all items calibrated. Service needs to be instrument specific. With the advent of technology, Calibration service has seen a tremendous change and has gone through various phases to get the top quality. Calibration is a great deal for industrial purpose. It makes sure that products are manufactured as per specification. It also checks the competence level of technically valid results. The calibrated measuring instrument helps in checking the quality and valuation of the product. In cases of electronic equipment, it is essential to calibrate instruments to keep a check on quality and performance. Calibration facilitates in improving measurement abilities. Calibration service can be manual or automated.  textile testing equipment manufacturers Material Testing machines are available for a wide variety of industries including materials testers for plastics, textiles, adhesives, fi

Level Measurement Solutions

Makeup water treatment is an important component of steam generation. It is the means to resupply the system with water suitable for boiler and other operations that, was lost in the cycle.The steam generation cycle, level control for the water treatment process is not necessarily about efficiency, but rather, accuracy, reliability and safety, while providing proper inventory management to ensure chemical and makeup water supply meets demand. The focus is on the chemical component of the makeup water treatment since it presents difficulties for level technologies that may work perfectly on non-chemical applications related to the water treatment process or those with limited variations in the contents of the vessel's vapor space. Although important measurements such as ammonia, acid, caustic and other chemical storage tanks are not difficult level applications by any stretch, small nuances in how the vessels are monitored relative to level technology can have a dramatic effect on t
