AATCC 120 tester models and their published ranges
The Universal Wear Tester (TNG1003) is a suitable instrument for compliance with AATCC 120, offering precise and repeatable abrasion testing capabilities.
Comparison of Instrument Specifications for AATCC 120 Compliance
The TNG1003 Universal Wear Tester is designed to meet the requirements of AATCC 120, which evaluates the abrasion resistance of textile materials. This instrument provides a reliable and standardized method for assessing fabric durability under controlled conditions. Its specifications are tailored to ensure accurate and consistent results, supporting the testing procedures outlined in the standard.
Key Specifications Supporting AATCC 120 Testing
The TNG1003 Universal Wear Tester features a measuring range of 25mm, which is essential for accurately quantifying the degree of abrasion on fabric surfaces. This range allows for precise measurement of material degradation, ensuring that test results are both reproducible and comparable across different samples. Additionally, the instrument supports various abrasion kits, including depth abrasion, surface abrasion, and flex abrasion kits, which are critical for simulating different types of wear encountered in real-world applications. These kits enable the testing of a wide range of fabric types and conditions, aligning with the diverse requirements of AATCC 120.
Optional Attachments and Accessories
The TNG1003 offers optional attachments and accessories that enhance its versatility and compliance with AATCC 120. For instance, the frosting attachment and edge and fold abrasion clamp allow for more specialized testing scenarios, such as evaluating the abrasion resistance of fabrics with irregular edges or folds. The availability of different abrasive rolls, such as the '0' 50 yd/roll and '600A' 50 yd/roll, ensures that the instrument can accommodate varying levels of abrasion intensity, as specified in the standard. These accessories contribute to the instrument's adaptability and ensure that it meets the specific testing requirements of AATCC 120.
Conclusion
The TNG1003 Universal Wear Tester is a robust and versatile instrument that meets the specifications required for AATCC 120 testing. Its precise measuring range, support for various abrasion kits, and optional accessories make it an essential tool for laboratories conducting abrasion resistance evaluations. By adhering to the standard's requirements, the TNG1003 ensures accurate and reliable test results, supporting the quality and performance assessment of textile materials.
