<p>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? </p><p><br></p><p><strong>1. Martindale Abrasion & Pilling Tester</strong></p><p>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. <a href="https://www.gesterinstruments.com/martindale-abrasion-and-pilling-tester-gt-c13" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Martindale abrasion and pilling tester</strong></a> 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.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>2. Textile Tensile Testing Machine</strong></p><p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>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 <a href="https://www.gesterinstruments.com/rubber" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>rubber tensile testing machine</strong></a>, 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.</p><p><br></p><p>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.</p><p>For more detailed information, welcome to visit the <strong>Gester</strong> website.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>3. Moisture Management Tester</strong></p><p>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 <a href="https://www.gesterinstruments.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>textile testing instruments manufacturers</strong></a> figure out their fabric materials’ ability to deal with moisture and predict the perspiration capacity of textiles in the real usage.</p><p><br></p><p>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.</p>
