How dry or wet rubbing Crockmeter Works ?

Crockmeter machine to test the color fastness of textiles to dry or wet rubbing. Also named rubbing fastness tester.In the crocking test, a reliable Crockmeter plays a vital role in the repeatable and reproducible results.


How Crockmeter Works?（dry or wet rubbing test）


1. Dry Rubbing:


1.1 Properly mount your specimen and test cloths. The counter has to be reset by moving the knob on the left side of the counter. The finger is positioned on the specimen at the base's front end and handle is rotated in the clockwise direction at the rate of approximately 1 revolution per second. The handle is then rotated equal to the number of strokes specified by the test method.


1.2 When the desired number of strokes is reached, the crocking cloth is removed from the finger and its degree of staining has to be evaluated by SDC grey scale.


2. Wet Rubbing:


2.1 A fresh piece of crocking cloth is soaked in distilled water and the excess water is removed so that it contains its own mass of water.


2.2 The wet piece of the crocking cloth is fixed over the end of the finger of the Crockmeter and the test is undertaken.


2.3 The dyed or printed fabric has to be mounted on a lower platform.


2.4 Then 10 cycles are rubbed with a white fabric, which is mounted on a peg in the upper rubbing arm.


2.5 Then the extent of color that rubs away onto the white fabric against a color transference scale has to be determined.


2.6 The rubbing action of the peg+ enabled fibers from the upper colored flannel fabric surface to be transferred onto the white backing fabric mounted on the lower platform.


2.7 The cloth is then removed to evaluate the discolor level in comparison with a gray-scale.

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
