Since entering the 21st century, the textile industry has made new breakthroughs and developments in terms of industrial upgrading, chemical process, independent innovation, brand effect and infrastructure construction, and has achieved good economic and social benefits, with a higher and higher status and image in the market! Many enterprises in order to reduce economic losses, many enterprises choose to buy textile testing equipment to test the characteristics of textiles. How to choose the right textile testing equipment?

Then to establish a standardized laboratory with the convergence, how to choose the test equipment?

1, according to the enterprise's own product grade and sales direction to choose test equipment, if an enterprise production are low-end products, sales direction and only limited to domestic words, choose domestic test equipment is sufficient to meet the experimental requirements, because domestic test equipment after several years of technological innovation, there has been considerable progress, there is no need to seek foreign; if the enterprise production are products, sales direction and mainly in foreign If the company produces products, sales direction and mainly in foreign countries, select the imported equipment in line with the notary inspection department. Notary inspection departments to provide equipment, TESTER products with a wide range of influence in the domestic and international markets, is the choice.

2, to choose test equipment according to the standards used and sales region, many on the widely recognized standards are controlled by developed countries standardization organizations tailored to the level of technology in developed countries, therefore, to establish a standardized laboratory, in the selection of equipment, it is necessary to take into account the standards used and the sales region of the product, because different regions will recognize different standards. European customers widely accept the ISO standard system, American customers widely recognize the AATCC and ASTM standard system, while Japanese customers prefer the JIS standard system. For example: dry/wet rubbing color fastness test, AATCC and ISO standards require the use of flat rubbing back and forth ten times, while JIS standards require the use of curved rubbing back and forth one hundred times; another example: dimensional stability test, European customers usually use the front drum washing machine, American customers usually require the use of the upper wave agitator washing machine, while Japanese customers require the use of the upper type of ordinary washing machine; To pilling test, for example, American customers require RANDOM messy pilling test method, while European and Japanese customers require ICI pilling test or MARTINDALE pilling test method; then to sunlight color fastness, for example, European and American standards require the use of xenon arc lamp irradiation, while Japanese standards require the use of carbon arc lamp irradiation, etc.; sometimes also according to the buyer's standards to Sometimes, we have to choose the testing equipment according to the buyer's standard, like M&S, GAP, J.C. PENNY, NIKE, LEI'S, FEDERATED, SEARS, BUTTON, ADIDAS, BHS, DISNEY, TOMMY HILFIGER, HUGO BOSS and other big buyers have their own testing standards, and most of the buyers TESTER company is one of the textile testing equipment suppliers recognized by the majority of buyers.

3, to choose the test equipment according to their product categories. Because different products need to use different testing equipment to test, in order to meet the test rationality and scientific, for example: strength test, knitted products because of the loose structure, in doing strength test should be used to expand the strength tester, and woven products because of the tight structure, in doing strength test should be used when the material testing machine and ELMENDORF strength tester; the same pilling test, knitted products in doing pilling test. Knitted products in doing pilling test, usually using ICI pilling tester, carpet in doing pilling test, we need to use the carpet pilling tester, and towel fabric in doing pilling test, we need to use the washing machine to carry out; such as flame resistance test, general textiles in doing flame resistance test, general fabrics usually use forty-five degrees burning tester, children's pajamas and decorative fabrics to do When doing flame retardancy, it is necessary to use vertical flammability tester, while aircraft, automobile interior fabrics to do flame retardancy test, usually use horizontal flammability tester; and in doing abrasion resistance test, general fabrics usually use MARTINDALE Martindale abrasion resistance tester for, while footwear fabrics usually use UWT abrasion resistance tester for, automobile interior and furniture textiles usually use OSCILLATORY abrasion resistance tester, and coated materials and leather materials usually use TABER abrasion resistance tester; take zui simple rubbing color fastness test, if test printing fabric dry / wet rubbing color fastness, usually will use the rotary rubbing color fastness tester, etc.; can be seen that different product categories will use different test equipment, so in Equipment selection must take into account their own product structure.

4, according to their actual production capacity and economic strength to choose testing equipment, enterprises in the choice of testing equipment, must take into account the enterprise's own production capacity, and a slight margin. Because the current equipment production suppliers, like TESTER company products have formed a series of production, for example: MARTINDALE Martindale abrasion resistance tester has 4 head, 6 head, 8 head; such as ICI pilling tester PT-2 messy flip pilling tester has 2 head and 4 head; washing color fastness tester has 4 cups, 4 + 2 cups, 4 + 4 cups, 8 cups, 8 + 4 cups, 8+8 cups, 12 cups, 12+6 cups, 12+12 cups, 16 cups, 16+8 cups, 16+16 cups, 24 cups, 24+12 cups and 24+24 cups (when the two numbers are added together, the front one is 500 ml test cups, and the back one is 1200 ml test) according to the customer's requirements to configure the number and type of washing steel cups; material testing machine has 5KN, 10KN, 25KN, and 50KN series products. 25KN, and 50KN series products, configured with different sensors and collets can be tested on various types of products, etc., customers can choose according to their needs, seems very humane.

5, according to the need to test the project to choose test equipment, from the textile testing project, usually divided into: regulatory testing, including: fiber label, care label, down test, fire test; quality performance testing, including: color fastness, physical, shrinkage resistance, group fiber analysis, strength, fabric / clothing performance and combustibility. zui recently emphasized the textile ecological testing, like Oko- Tex100Standard100 and Eco-Textile, as well as the prestigious Danish Novotex "Green Cotton", etc.; Oko-Tex100 textile environmental standard label has strict and detailed requirements for textile environmental protection items and test methods, and its testing items are formaldehyde, azo dyes, pH and alkalinity. Azo dyes, PH acidity and alkalinity, PCP, halide carriers, insecticides, dyeing fastness, volatile compound release, special odors (such as mildew, heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, cobalt, lead, mercury, nickel, etc.). As a business, the laboratory established can not and should not be all-inclusive, therefore, to establish a standardized laboratory, but should be based on their own actual situation to determine the test items, and then according to the test items to determine the test equipment, play not to seek large and comprehensive.

6, to be suspended according to the size of the supplier and after-sales service capabilities to test equipment. If the supplier is too small, we have to consider his viability, if the supplier is an agent, you have to consider his after-sales service capacity, but also consider the standard technical training training capacity of the supplier or agent, the product dealer to higher technical strength, to be able to provide more technical training, so as to improve our use of the equipment purchased, and the correct method of use and maintenance. Therefore, first choose the supplier and then choose the test equipment, is a better choice.

7, according to the user group to choose test equipment. The supplier's user group, that the supplier to provide the test equipment quality relative to product stability, with good operability and repeatability. For example, in the choice of sunlight color fastness tester, ninety-nine percent of customers will choose the sunlight fastness tester with rotating sample holder.

Therefore, the establishment of a laboratory suitable for customer requirements, in line with the actual situation of the enterprise, the correct choice of textile testing equipment to meet the requirements, should be a responsible laboratory designers always pursue the goal and requirements.
