Automatic folding recovery tester

Instrument Introduction

This instrument detects the recovery property of fabrics by applying specific test methods (BS, ISO, AATCC). It presses fabric samples under certain loading devices for a specified time, then releases them into sample clamps to allow free recovery while recording the recovery angle.

The equipment determines sample recovery performance from horizontal creases through measured wrinkle recovery angles, particularly suitable for wrinkle-prone fabrics like cellulose-based and other woven materials.

Test Principle

Specimens of defined shape and size are folded and compressed under specified conditions for a set duration. After load removal, the samples undergo specified recovery time before the wrinkle recovery angle is read from a graduated dial, quantifying the fabric's crease recovery capability.

Functional Features

1. Ergonomic load application device for convenient specimen compression
2. Precision sample clamping mechanism ensuring horizontal positioning without bulging or slippage
