AATCC 162 FAQ: instruments, ranges and method scope
The TNG1033 Dry Cleaning and Washing Cylinder is designed to meet the requirements of AATCC 162, ensuring accurate and reliable color fastness testing.
How Does the TNG1033 Support AATCC 162 Testing?
AATCC 162 is a standard for evaluating the color fastness of textiles to dry cleaning and washing. The TNG1033 is specifically designed for this purpose, offering precise control over the testing environment. The cylinder has a capacity of 50 kg, which allows for testing multiple samples simultaneously, ensuring efficiency and consistency. This capacity is crucial for meeting the standard's requirements for sample size and testing volume.
What Are the Key Specifications of the TNG1033?
The TNG1033 operates on a power supply of 220 V at 50/60 Hz, ensuring compatibility with various electrical systems worldwide. This specification helps ensure that the instrument can be used in different laboratory settings without modifications. Additionally, the dimensions of the TNG1033 are 710 mm in length and 460 mm in width, making it compact enough to fit in most laboratory spaces while still providing the necessary working area for accurate testing.
How Does the TNG1033 Ensure Accurate Testing?
The TNG1033's design supports the AATCC 162 standard by maintaining consistent water and chemical levels during testing. The 50 kg capacity ensures that the samples are fully submerged and exposed to the same conditions, which is essential for obtaining reliable results. The power supply specification of 220 V at 50/60 Hz ensures that the instrument operates smoothly and consistently, which is vital for maintaining the integrity of the test results.
What Are the Benefits of the TNG1033's Physical Dimensions?
The 710 mm length and 460 mm width of the TNG1033 provide ample space for sample placement and movement during the testing process. These dimensions allow for proper water circulation and even distribution of cleaning agents, which are critical for meeting the AATCC 162 standard. The compact size also makes the TNG1033 suitable for laboratories with limited space, without compromising on performance or accuracy.
