What are some other methods used to determine the flammability of textiles?

1. Vertical Flammability Test (ASTM D6413):
This test assesses the flammability of textiles when exposed to a vertical ignition source. A textile sample is suspended vertically and exposed to a controlled flame for a specified duration. The flame spread rate, the afterflame time, and the char length are measured to determine the textile's flammability characteristics.

Horizontal Vertical Combustion Tester

2. Horizontal Flammability Test (NFPA 701):
This method examines the flammability of textiles used in furnishings, such as curtains and drapes. The test involves placing the textile sample horizontally, exposing it to a flame for a set period, and measuring critical parameters such as flame spread, char length, and duration of flaming.

 

3. Radiant Panel Test (ASTM E648):
Employed for carpet flammability testing, this method measures the ignition resistance and flame spread of textile floor coverings. It involves exposing a floor covering sample to a calibrated radiant heat source and noting the time it takes for the flame to spread.

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...
