Three Testing Instruments are Used in Textile Laboratories

It is well-known that a series of product tests are a must for those factories that produce fabric and garments, such as the textile factories, and garment factories. They do that for the purpose of smooth factory sales or reaching the customers' requirements about quality. So what testing instruments are the most commonly used in the textile laboratories? 


1. Martindale Abrasion & Pilling Tester

This instrument is designed for testing the abrasion and pilling of various textiles. In the beginning, the circular specimen is placed on the grinding head and make a contact with a standard woolen fabric abrasive fixed on the grinding table under the specified pressure. Then it will be subjected to multidirectional translational friction in accordance with the LISSAJOUS trajectory. The instrument will stop automatically if the circular specimen has been rubbed for specified times. Finally, we need to compare the standard parameter with the number of textiles that have abrasion and pilling after the experiment so as to get the related data. Martindale abrasion and pilling tester is used to test the abrasion resistance and pilling performance of cotton, hemp, silk woven fabrics, and other textiles. In addition, it can also be applied to test the membrane materials, knitted fabrics, woolen textiles, artificial leather, synthetic leather, gloves, labor protection materials, and so on.


2. Textile Tensile Testing Machine

When textiles are subject to mechanical external forces such as tensile, compression, bending, and friction, they will suffer from fracture, tearing, bursting, or other kinds of damage inevitably. But you can determine the duration of the textiles based on these damages. Universal Textile Tensile Testing Machine is an expert specialized in testing the duration of textiles driven by the external force according to the degree of tearing and rupturing. It can also be used for leather, plastic, paper, and so on.


Firstly, two ends of the material specimen are generally clamped on the two fixtures at a certain distance respectively. The fixtures will not stop separating and stretching the material specimen at a constant speed until the specimen is destroyed. And after that, you can record the change of stress and measure the peak force and yield strength of the products. This tensile tester is broadly classified into two categories, a hydraulic rubber tensile testing machine, and an electronic tensile testing machine for sale in the early days. However, hydraulic tensile testing machines occupy little market share nowadays due to their poor accuracy without meeting the required standard and lack of ability to test equipment with relatively high force values.


During the test process, the Textile Tensile Testing Machine needs to connect with a computer that is used for the collection and analysis of data based on which the testing result and report are made.

3. Moisture Management Tester

The Moisture Management Tester, also named rapid Moisture Management Tester, measures the performance of dynamic liquids, such as transport properties, water absorption， and perspiration when they flow through fabrics or other materials, helping textile testing instruments manufacturers figure out their fabric materials' ability to deal with moisture and predict the perspiration capacity of textiles in the real usage.


The moisture meters evaluate absorption performance by measuring changes in electrical conductivity. Firstly, we need to place the specimen horizontally between the upper and lower sensors equipped with concentric pins and put a drop of the prepared solution on the center of the upper surface of the specimen. Next, we need to measure and record the change in electrical resistance as the solution flows over the whole specimen. The data of the resistance is used to calculate the moisture content. Once the results are available, the fabric will be graded on the basis of water absorption by comparing the predetermined indices.

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
