AATCC 195 FAQ: instruments, ranges and method scope

The TNG1050 Moisture Management Tester is designed to meet the requirements of AATCC 195, ensuring accurate and reliable moisture management testing for textile materials.
How does the TNG1050 support AATCC 195 testing?

The TNG1050 Moisture Management Tester (model no. TNG1050) is specifically engineered to comply with AATCC 195. This standard requires precise measurement of moisture transfer through textiles, and the TNG1050 provides the necessary tools to achieve this. The tester's interface, which supports USB 1.1/2.0, ensures seamless data transfer and compatibility with standard laboratory equipment.
What specifications ensure accurate testing under AATCC 195?
The TNG1050 includes a conductivity test solution with a value of 16 mS± 0.2 mS, which is crucial for maintaining consistent and repeatable test results. This specification aligns with AATCC 195's requirement for controlled test conditions. Additionally, the operation temperature and relative humidity range of 18°C to 40°C, 20% to 80% (non-condensing), ensures that the testing environment remains stable and within the standard's specified limits.
What is the role of the pump on time in AATCC 195 testing?

The TNG1050 has a pump on time of 20 seconds, which is an essential parameter for ensuring consistent application of the test solution. This specification supports AATCC 195 by maintaining uniformity in the testing process, thereby reducing variability in results. The controlled pump on time contributes to the accuracy and reproducibility of moisture management measurements.
How does the TNG1050's software enhance testing under AATCC 195?
The TNG1050 offers analysis software, which is vital for processing and interpreting test data according to AATCC 195. This software enables users to generate detailed reports and perform statistical analysis, ensuring compliance with the standard's reporting requirements. The integration of analysis software streamlines the testing process and enhances the precision of moisture management evaluations.
