Finding AATCC 92 equipment through Colour Fastness

The Scorch Tester (Sublimation Fastness Tester), model TNG1025, is designed to meet the requirements of AATCC 92, which evaluates sublimation fastness of dyed fabrics.

Compliance with AATCC 92

AATCC 92 outlines the procedures for assessing the fastness of dyed fabrics to sublimation, particularly in the context of heat and pressure. The test method involves subjecting the fabric to controlled heat and pressure to simulate the conditions that may cause sublimation. The Scorch Tester (Sublimation Fastness Tester), model TNG1025, is specifically engineered to replicate these conditions accurately. This instrument is categorized under Colour Fastness Testing, which is a critical area in textile quality assessment. The TNG1025 ensures that the test results are reliable and consistent with the standards set by AATCC 92.

Instrument Specifications and Their Role in Testing

The TNG1025 is equipped with several specifications that support the testing process as per AATCC 92. One of the key specifications is the use of insulation cotton as a standard accessory. This material is essential for maintaining the required temperature and pressure conditions during the test. The insulation cotton helps in preventing heat loss and ensures that the test environment remains stable, which is crucial for accurate results. Another important specification is the optional use of a heat-insulating asbestos sheet. This accessory enhances the thermal insulation, further contributing to the precision of the test.

Additionally, the TNG1025 is designed with a DW multi-fiber cloth that conforms to AATCC NO.10A standards. This cloth is used to simulate the behavior of various fibers under the test conditions, providing a comprehensive assessment of sublimation fastness. The dimensions of the instrument, with a length of 460 mm and a width of 310 mm, are also critical. These dimensions ensure that the test samples are adequately positioned and exposed to the required heat and pressure, facilitating consistent and reproducible results.

Model Page and Instrument Category

The TNG1025 is listed under the Colour Fastness Testing category, which is a fundamental aspect of textile testing. This category encompasses various instruments and methods used to evaluate the durability and performance of dyed fabrics under different conditions. The model page for the TNG1025 provides detailed information on its specifications, usage, and compliance with relevant standards such as AATCC 92. This information is vital for users to understand how the instrument supports the testing procedures and ensures accurate and reliable results. The TNG1025's specifications are meticulously designed to meet the requirements of AATCC 92, making it an essential tool for laboratories and textile manufacturers seeking to maintain high standards in quality control.
