Test the color fastness to perspiration

The color fastness to rubbing test method to perspiration refers to the ability not to fade and not to stain when the dyed fabric is perspired, and it is one of the main color fastness testing items of textiles. In daily life, textiles clenched to the skin for a long time and come into contact with the sweat secreted by the skin, which may lead to the transfer of dyes to the skin, so it is particularly important of colour fastness to perspiration test of clothing products.


At present, ISO 105 E04, AATCC 15, JIS L 0848 are common color fastness to perspiration test method. In addition, GB/T 3992, BS EN ISO 105 E04, din EN ISO 105 E04, NF G07 013 E04, EN ISO 105 E04 in China, Britain, Germany, France, and Europe, which are referred to ISO 105 E04 perspiration fastness test method. 


 Comparison of the color fastness to perspiration test for different versions of ISO 105 E04: 

Comparison of ISO 105 E04:2013, ISO 105 E04:2008 and ISO 105 E04:1994


 Comparison of the standard of colour fastness to perspiration in different countries: 

Comparison of ISO 105 E04, AATCC 15, and JIS L 0848


1.1 Choosing of Adjacent Fabric

Adjacent fabric specified in ISO 105 – E04 can be single fiber adjacent fabric, and also can multifiber adjacent fiber. If use single fiber adjacent fabric, one of adjacent fabric chosen is made of fibers of the same kind as the specimen, and the other chosen is made of corresponding fibers standard specifies; if specimen is blending or interweave fabric, for the first sample, the fibers with the main content are selected, while for the second sample, the fibers with the minor content are selected.


It can be seen that compared with ISO 105 – E04: 1994, ISO 105 – E04: 2008 is less two kinds of a single fiber, hemp, and CA tow. From the point of my view, the main reason is that the properties of hemp and cotton are close to each other, while the properties of CA tow and viscose are close to each other, and the choice of the second fiber is basically similar. From the original 9 kinds of single fibers to 7 kinds of single fibers, it is more in line with actual operation. 


1.2 Comparison of Treatment Methods for Composite Specimen after Immersion

Standard ISO 105 – E04: 2008 specifies that the mass of composite specimen after 30-minute immersion is 2-2.5 times of the original mass of composite specimen through an appropriate method, while ISO 105 – E04: 2013 and ISO 105 – E04: 1994 requires nothing but just to gently scrape the excess sweat from the composite specimen.


1.3 Ways of Placing Perspiration Rack into the Oven

Through the experiment comparison, ways of placing perspiration rack into the oven affect the test result a little at the same testing condition. Therefore, ISO 105 E04: 2013 allows for two ways of placement.


2 Comparison of ISO 105 E04: 2013, AATCC 15: 2009 and JIS L0848

It can be seen that differences exist between three kinds of standard for color fastness to perspiration, meanwhile, common point also exits.


2.1 Three kinds of principle of standard test are basically the same through comparison. Through a comparison of technical parameters, they have similarities and great differences as well.


2.2 The tests show that the preparation of man-made perspiration affects test results much. AATCC 15-2009 standard is very strict with preparation of perspiration. If pH is not in the range of 4.3±0.2, perspiration needs preparing anew. While man-made perspiration of ISO 105-E04: 2013 standard needs adjusting with 0.1mol/L NaOH in preparation. JIS l0848 standard offers a practical suggestion: add 15mL 0.1mol/L NaOH to acid liquor, so that pH of acid perspiration is 5.5; add 25mL 0.1mol/L NaOH to alkali liquor, so that pH of alkali perspiration is 8.0.


2.3 Through an army of tests, it is found that ways of composite specimen controlling its pick up ratio after immersion affect test results much during the process of test. In order to make test results more referential, experimenters should conduct a lot of tests, so as to make pick up ratio of composite specimen after immersion not only in accordance with standard requirements but make its surface with liquid well-distributed.


2.4 Perspirometer and procedure: the main equipment to be used is perspirometer tester and drying oven. In addition to the requirements of heavy hammer, other equipment can basically be used.

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
