AATCC 66 tester models and their published ranges
The Crease Recovery Tester (TNG1087) is designed to meet the requirements of AATCC 66 for evaluating the crease recovery of textile fabrics.
Comparison of the Crease Recovery Tester (TNG1087)
The Crease Recovery Tester (TNG1087) is specifically engineered to comply with AATCC 66, which outlines the procedures for assessing the recovery of creases in fabrics. This instrument is part of the Flexing Testing category, ensuring that the testing process is both accurate and repeatable. The TNG1087 is equipped with a 4.5 kg weight, which is essential for applying the correct force during the crease recovery test. This weight ensures that the fabric is subjected to a standardized load, which is critical for obtaining consistent and reliable results. Additionally, the length of the testing area is set at 250 mm, which allows for the proper application of the crease and ensures that the fabric is tested under uniform conditions. These specifications are directly aligned with the requirements of AATCC 66, which mandates specific loading conditions and test dimensions to ensure the validity of the results.
Compliance with AATCC 66
The TNG1087 is designed to meet the standards set by AATCC 66, which is a widely recognized method for evaluating the crease recovery of textile materials. The instrument's specifications, including the 4.5 kg weight and 250 mm length, are directly referenced in the standard. The 4.5 kg weight is used to apply a consistent force to the fabric, simulating the conditions under which creases form during normal use. The 250 mm length ensures that the crease is applied uniformly across the fabric sample, which is crucial for accurate measurement of recovery. These specifications are essential for ensuring that the test results are comparable across different laboratories and that the data obtained is reliable and reproducible.
Instrument Design and Testing Process
The design of the TNG1087 is focused on achieving precision and consistency in the testing process. The 4.5 kg weight is a critical component that ensures the correct force is applied during the test, which is necessary for the accurate assessment of crease recovery. The 250 mm length of the testing area allows for the proper application of the crease, ensuring that the fabric is tested under uniform conditions. These specifications are not only aligned with the requirements of AATCC 60 but also contribute to the overall reliability and accuracy of the test results. By adhering to these specifications, the TNG1087 provides a robust and standardized method for evaluating the crease recovery of textile fabrics, making it an essential tool for quality control and research in the textile industry.
