Introduction
A fabric stiffness tester measures bending resistance of textiles. It is widely used in textile quality control. The system ensures material flexibility evaluation. It solves subjective hand-feel assessment. By providing quantitative testing, it supports textile performance analysis.
Standards
ISO 105-B02:2014-Textiles-Tests for colour fastness-Colour fastness to artificial light: Xenon arc fading lamp test
ISO 4920:2021-Textiles-Determination of resistance to surface wetting (Spray test)
ISO 9237:1995-Textiles-Determination of permeability of fabrics to air
Complies with the above standards, but is not limited to them.
Features
1. Calibration and self-check functions support accuracy.
2. Stable measurement or processing delivers repeatable results.
3. Low running costs and no locked consumable requirement.
4. Clear labelling and colour-coded controls reduce operator error.
5. Compact dimensions and light weight ease bench placement.
FAQ
What is the Fabric Stiffness Tester mainly used for?
The Fabric Stiffness 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 Fabric Stiffness 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 system is covered for 12 months after shipment, including the main mechanism and electrical controls. Replaceable consumables and routine service items are not part of the warranty. Faults caused by improper installation outside the manual or unauthorised modification are not covered.
How easy is the Fabric Stiffness Tester to use?
The controls are designed for regular laboratory use, so most users become confident after a brief introduction. The manual walks through each step, and common settings can be saved for repeat work. Online or on-site training is available if the site requires it.
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.
How often should the Fabric Stiffness Tester be calibrated?
The unit is calibrated and tested before delivery. For ongoing accuracy, verify it against traceable reference standards every 6 to 12 months, or according to the laboratory quality schedule. We can arrange calibration service and certificates where required.
Are the consumables universal or proprietary?
No proprietary consumable contract is required; standard parts are available from us and common laboratory suppliers. Our service team can supply a recommended parts list for the model. Most routine spares are held for quick delivery.
Can it be adapted to our requirements?
A range of options is available to match the application, such as alternative settings, fittings, data outputs or power supply. We confirm each option and its effect on price and schedule up front. Larger custom builds can be discussed.
Is installation and commissioning included?
Most models can be commissioned by following the manual, including positioning, connections, checks and a first test run. Remote guidance is available during start-up. On-site installation, commissioning and training can be arranged separately where required.
What should be avoided when using the Fabric Stiffness 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.
