AATCC 15 FAQ: instruments, ranges and method scope
The Perspiration Tester / Perspirometer (TNG1034) is designed to meet the requirements of AATCC 15 for evaluating the color fastness of textiles to perspiration.
How Does the TNG1034 Support AATCC 15 Testing?
The TNG1034 is specifically designed to perform the tests outlined in AATCC 15. This standard assesses the color fastness of textiles to perspiration, simulating the effects of sweat on fabric color. The instrument is equipped with a perspiration reservoir that holds 7 kg of solution, which is a critical specification for ensuring the test conditions are accurate and consistent.
What Are the Key Specifications of the TNG1034?
The TNG1034 has a length of 190 mm, which is essential for accommodating the test specimens and ensuring proper contact with the perspiration solution. The 7 kg capacity of the perspiration reservoir is another vital specification, as it ensures that the test solution is sufficient for multiple test cycles without requiring frequent refills.
How Does the TNG1034 Ensure Accuracy in AATCC 15 Testing?
The TNG1034 is built to maintain the required conditions for AATCC 15 testing. The 190 mm length allows for the proper placement of the test specimen, ensuring uniform exposure to the perspiration solution. The 7 kg capacity of the perspiration reservoir is crucial for maintaining the correct concentration and volume of solution throughout the test, which is necessary for accurate results.
What Other Standards Can the TNG1034 Support?
In addition to AATCC 15, the TNG1034 can also support other standards such as AATCC 107 for water resistance and AATCC 106 for sea water resistance. These additional capabilities make the TNG1034 a versatile instrument for various color fastness tests, enhancing its utility in laboratory settings. The specifications of the TNG1034 are aligned with these standards, ensuring that the instrument can be used for a wide range of testing requirements.
