Preparing for AATCC 22 testing: from method to instrument setup
The Spray Rating Tester (TNG1054) is the appropriate instrument for compliance with AATCC 22, as it provides the necessary functionality and specifications to meet the standard's requirements.
Confirm the Method Code
Before procurement, it is essential to confirm that the testing method aligns with the required standard. AATCC 22 specifies the evaluation of water resistance in textile materials through spray rating testing. The TNG1054 is specifically designed for this purpose and is recognized for its ability to simulate real-world conditions. The model number TNG1054 must be referenced to ensure that the correct instrument is selected for the testing process.
Identify the Required Measuring Range
The TNG1054 is equipped with a measuring range that supports the requirements of AATCC 22. The instrument's specifications include a length of 360 mm and a width of 280 mm, which are critical for ensuring accurate and consistent test results. These dimensions are essential for the proper application of the spray and for the measurement of the material's response to the simulated conditions. The measuring range must be verified against the standard to ensure that the instrument can accommodate the test samples and provide reliable data.
Check the Published Specification Table
The TNG1054's specifications are detailed in the published specification table, which includes the model number and the relevant standards it complies with. The instrument is designed to meet the requirements of ISO 4920 and AATCC 22 GB/T4745. These standards are crucial for ensuring that the testing process is standardized and that the results are comparable across different laboratories and testing environments. The specifications provided in the table must be cross-referenced with the standard to confirm that the instrument is suitable for the intended testing application.
Request a Quotation
Once the method code, measuring range, and specifications have been verified, the next step is to request a quotation. The TNG1054 must be referenced in the quotation request to ensure that the correct instrument is ordered. The specifications, including the length and width, should be included to demonstrate the instrument's suitability for the testing process. The quotation should also include details about the standards the instrument complies with, such as ISO 4920 and AATCC 22 GB/T4745, to ensure that the procurement process is aligned with the required testing standards.
