Fabric Fiber Shedding Degree Tester (Friction)

The Fabric Fiber Shedding Degree Tester (Friction) is an instrument used to evaluate the light-blocking performance of fabrics and is widely used in the textile industry. It calculates the light-blocking rate by simulating different light intensities and measuring the illuminance value of light passing through the fabric. The tester has an accuracy of up to +5% and is suitable for various types of fabrics, including sheet textiles and coated fabrics.

Applications

The Fabric Fiber Shedding Degree Tester (Friction) is suitable for sheet textile products such as curtain materials. It is used to measure the total visible light transmittance of the fabric to evaluate its light-blocking performance.

Standards

JIS L1005-2009 ：Textiles - Determination of light transmittance of sheet textile products

Features

Touch screen controller: The number of frictions can be set arbitrarily.

Backup mechanical buttons for buttons in the touch screen: They can be used simultaneously, which is convenient and fast.

Pneumatic holder for specimen installation: Convenient and fast.

Equipped with a calender for adjusting the moisture content of the abrasive: The roll-off rate can be adjusted.

Complies with the standard: Appendix A of GB/T 40270 - 2021

Technical Parameters

Test Procedures

1. Sample Fixation

 Lay the sample to be tested flat and fix it to the sample holder of the instrument using a pneumatic clamp.

2. Abrasive Treatment

 Use the calender provided with the instrument to adjust the abrasive moisture content (roller speed can be adjusted) to obtain moistened abrasive.

3. Abrasive Installation

 Install the treated moistened abrasive onto the friction head.

4. Parameter Setting

 Set the required load, number of friction cycles, and friction stroke via the touch screen (or spare mechanical buttons).

5. Test Start

 Start the instrument and allow the friction head to perform a set number of reciprocating friction cycles on the sample surface with the abrasive.

6. Result Evaluation

 After the test, compare the fibers adhering to the abrasive with the standard sample to visually evaluate the degree of fiber adhesion, thereby characterizing the fiber shedding rate of the sample.
