Carpet Shedding Tester

Standard

• ASTM D5417 (Standard Test Method for Quantifying Loss of Fiber from Carpets)
• ISO 10362 (Textile Floor Coverings - Determination of Fiber Loss)
• IWCS-104 (International Wool & Carpet Standard for Shedding Resistance)
  

Product Advantages

1. Precision Fiber Loss Analysis
   • High-resolution optical sensor (±0.01g accuracy) captures even minute fiber shedding, ideal for delicate wool, synthetic, and blended carpets.
2. User-Centric Design
   • 5-inch color touchscreen with intuitive navigation and multilingual support (English, French, Arabic, Japanese) for global accessibility.
3. Rugged Build Quality
   • Anodized aluminum housing and anti-static test chamber resist dust accumulation and ensure long-term durability.
4. Versatile Testing Modes
   • Supports both dry rubbing and wet agitation tests to simulate real-world conditions like vacuuming, foot traffic, and cleaning.
5. Cost-Effective Operation
   • Low-maintenance design with replaceable abrasive pads and minimal calibration requirements.

Product Features

• Advanced Testing Modes:
  • Adjustable test cycles (1–999 rotations) and pressure settings (0.5–5 kPa) to replicate light residential use to heavy commercial wear.
  • Real-time fiber loss tracking with graphical data output for immediate analysis.
• Safety & Compliance:
  • Overload protection, automatic shutoff after preset cycles, and CE/FCC certification for safe laboratory use.
• Data Management:
  • Onboard storage for 5,000+ tests, exportable via USB/Wi-Fi in Excel/PDF formats. Compatible with LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems).
• Universal Sample Compatibility:
  • Adjustable clamp system accommodates carpets up to 1m² in size, including shag, loop pile, and cut-pile designs.
