Fabric Air Permeability Tester

FACTORS AFFECTING FABRIC AIR PERMEABILITY

The ability of air to pass through a fabric is known as its air permeability. It directly impacts its wearability. For example, summer fabrics require good air permeability, while winter outerwear should have lower air permeability to ensure windproofness and prevent heat loss. air permeability is crucial for certain fabric applications in defense and industry. For example, parachutes require high air permeability, and tarpaulins must be durable and breathable. Fabric air permeability is determined by the number and size of spaces between [...]

ASTM D1894, ISO8295 PET Films Coefficient of Friction Tester

PACKAGE MATERIALS TESTING PRINCIPLE AND METHOD OF FRICTION COEFFICIENT ISO 8259

The coefficient of friction refers to the ratio of the friction between two surfaces to the vertical force acting on one of the surfaces. It is related to the roughness of the surface, but not to the size of the contact area. According to the nature of the movement, it can be divided into the dynamic friction coefficient and the static friction coefficient. Sliding friction is generated when two objects contact each other and slide relative to each other.   The [...]

Electronic universal testing machine

How to Solve Positive and Negative Errors in an Electronic Universal Testing Machine

The electronic universal testing machine is an important device for the mechanical research of non-metallic materials. However, there are various models of electronic tensile testing machines, each capable of meeting different measurement needs. Regardless of the type of non-metallic tensile testing machine, errors are bound to occur during measurement. Therefore, people often conduct multiple experiments to finally determine accurate values. By using the method of multiple experiments, the error rate of the measured values can be avoided, thereby reducing the [...]
