FAQ
What is the Leather Softness Tester mainly used for?
The Leather Softness Tester is used for a defined laboratory measurement, preparation or processing task. It supports analytical, quality-control, research, clinical or industrial work where consistent, repeatable results are required.
Which standards and regulations apply to the Leather Softness Tester?
The instrument is designed with reference to IEC 61010 electrical safety, the applicable international standard for the measurement or process and relevant GB/T standards. Procedures should follow the relevant method. Compliance documentation can be provided on request.
What does the warranty cover?
The complete unit carries a 12-month warranty from delivery, covering the main body, core components and controller against manufacturing defects. Consumables and wearing parts such as filters, seals and probes are not covered. Damage from misuse, improper power or unauthorised repair is excluded, and extended warranty can be quoted.
How easy is the Leather Softness Tester to use?
No advanced specialist skills are needed for standard operation, though correct sample handling and safety practice should be followed. We supply a detailed manual and start-up support. For multi-user or regulated sites, a short staff training session can be arranged.
What is the typical lead time for order delivery?
Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.
Is calibration included?
Regular calibration keeps measurements within the stated accuracy; an annual check is typical, with shorter intervals for heavy or regulated use. Reference standards and procedures are described in the manual. We can quote calibration with certificates.
Where do we get replacement parts?
Filters, seals, probes and similar items are standard and can be supplied through our channel. Customers may also source equivalent items that meet the specification. Provide the model and serial number to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Can it be adapted to our requirements?
The standard model can be configured with selected accessories and operating options to suit the task. Non-standard requests are assessed before quotation so the final build is clearly defined. We confirm details before production.
How is the Leather Softness Tester commissioned?
The unit is delivered ready for set-up, with clear commissioning steps in the manual. We provide remote technical support during installation. For larger or regulated systems, a factory-trained engineer can attend on site on request.
What should be avoided when using the Leather Softness Tester?
Do not use the instrument outside its rated range or intended samples, skip calibration or ignore safety and maintenance instructions. Follow the operating manual and laboratory safety rules.
