Weatherometer For Simulating Outdoor Conditions Test

     Do your due diligence to assure your customers of the quality of your building products, protect the reputation of your brand, and minimize risk. Data obtained from testing can predict the impact on air leakage, water penetration, and structural strength, among other performance aspects, when exposed to extreme weather. The performance of residential and commercial products alike will undoubtedly be affected by outdoor conditions.
    


   Weatherometer is a laboratory device that uses high-powered light sources & water to simulate long-term outside exposure. Ultraviolet (UV) light, a wavelength of light from the sun not visible to the human eye, can cause long-term damage to paints, plastics,fabrics and concrete finishes. Water, including rainwater and ocean saltwater, can attack finishes and degrade them. The Weatherometer can create ultraviolet, indoor, or other light frequencies to test products under controlled conditions and include water spray to add further environmental effects.

  Test materials are formed into panels that can be placed inside the Weatherometer. A reference or standard is often used, which may be an uncoated sample or a plastic without ultraviolet-protecting additives. This allows comparisons different coatings or treatments to the reference after long simulated exposures, and increasing test times can simulate years of outdoor exposure.

   Weatherometer testing can also be used for fabrics, coated steel and plastics used in furniture and toys. Many hotels, businesses & homes use furniture, toys and athletic equipment outdoors, or place them outside permanently. Laboratory exposure can quickly test these products for durability and color retention in varying weather conditions, without the need to leave products outdoors for long periods.

Multi-Functional Scratch tester For automotive interior materials

          Multi-Functional Scratch tester is applicable to all types of wiping performance test of automotive interior materials; test equipment integrated three domestic standards (fingers scraping method, a hundred grid method, and plastic scraping finger scraping method).         Scratch tester is an electronic instrument capable of measuring critical load, adhesion, scratch resistance and bond strength for a wide range of surfaces. Scratch tester measures the scratch resistance of a sliding and moving surface in the relative motion to a stylus. The stylus is forced/pressed against the moving surface with precise controlled force which is normal to the surface and tangential force at the contact has to be measured.         Scratch tester can be utilized for all type of industrial coating from the plasma layers used in semiconductor and optical technology used in decorative coatings used for automotive and consum...

Reveal the standards for textile breathability testing and let you understand it in seconds!

 Reveal the standards for textile breathability testing and let you understand it in seconds! Breathability testing is a measure of how much gas can pass through a textile. However, there is no single "optimal" air permeability value, as it depends on the specific circumstances in which the textile is used. For example, if it is used to make sportswear, it is hoped that it has good breathability; if it is used to make insulating clothes or warm clothes, it is hoped that it can block the cold well. Therefore, when testing the air permeability of textiles, the purpose of using the textile must be clearly understood in order to obtain reasonable values. In order to accurately and quickly test the true breathability performance of a sample, specially designed and developed instruments must be used. Testing methods generally include: fabric thickness (Thickness), fabric density (Density), fabric water absorption rate (Water Absorption Rate), evaporation and mass transfer (Moistur...

Test Methods of Universal Pilling Assessment Viewer (PAV)

Universal Pilling Assessment Viewer enables fabric to be assessed while still mounted on a Martindale head. The Pilling Assessment Viewer (PAV) for the textile market has been developed with the help of a major textile company in accordance to BN EN ISO 12945 standards incorporating all 3 parts and adopting the following test methods: Part 1: ICI Pilling box method (BS 5811) Part 2: Modified Martindale method (SN 198 525) Part 3: Atlas random tumble method (ASTM D 3512-96) It uses D65 Artificial Daylight (with CWF optionally available), as specified by many retailers. Other test methods can also be viewed, including those specified by major retailers. Other results of test methods that can be viewed include: BS 5811:1986 Determination of resistance to pilling and change of appearance of fabrics. ICI modified pill box for snagging Fleece appearance and surface change after washing Other test methods as specified by several major retail outlet. To optimize c...
