AATCC 92 tester models and their published ranges
The Scorch Tester (Sublimation Fastness Tester) model TNG1025 is designed to meet the requirements of AATCC 92 for evaluating sublimation fastness of dyed fabrics.
Instrument Overview and Standard Compliance
The TNG1025 Scorch Tester is specifically engineered to perform sublimation fastness testing as defined by AATCC 92. This standard assesses the resistance of dyed fabrics to color transfer when exposed to heat, simulating conditions that may occur during washing or drying. The instrument's design ensures accurate and repeatable results, aligning with the procedural and performance criteria outlined in AATCC 92.
Key Specifications and Their Relevance to AATCC 92
The TNG1025 features a set of standard accessories, including insulation cotton, which is essential for maintaining consistent heat application during testing. This ensures that the fabric is exposed to uniform thermal conditions, a critical factor in achieving reliable sublimation fastness results. Additionally, the optional heat-insulating asbestos sheet provides an extra layer of thermal protection, further enhancing the precision of temperature control.
The instrument is equipped with a DW multi-fiber cloth, specifically AATCC NO.10A, which is a standard reference material used to evaluate color fastness. This cloth is designed to mimic the behavior of various fibers under heat, allowing for accurate comparison of sublimation resistance across different fabric types. The inclusion of this material ensures that the test results are comparable and meet the requirements of AATCC 92.
The TNG1025 operates on a power supply of 220 V at 50 Hz, providing stable and consistent energy input for the heating elements. This ensures that the temperature control system functions reliably, maintaining the required thermal conditions throughout the test. The physical dimensions of the instrument, with a length of 460 mm and a width of 310 mm, are designed to accommodate standard test samples while ensuring safe and efficient operation.
Conclusion and Instrument Comparison
The TNG1025 Scorch Tester is a reliable and standardized instrument for sublimation fastness testing in accordance with AATCC 92. Its specifications, including the use of AATCC NO.10A multi-fiber cloth and the 220 V power supply, are directly aligned with the testing requirements of the standard. These features ensure that the test results are accurate, repeatable, and suitable for quality control in textile manufacturing.
