Finding ASTM D1729 equipment through Colour Fastness
The Color Matching Cabinet /B/C/D (TNG1031) is suitable for use in accordance with ASTM D1729, which outlines the procedures for determining the color fastness of dyed or printed textiles to light.
Compliance with ASTM D1729
ASTM D1729 is a standard test method for evaluating the light fastness of dyed or printed textiles. It specifies the conditions under which the light exposure should occur, including the type of light source, exposure time, and the method of assessing color change. The TNG1031 Color Matching Cabinet /B/C/D is designed to meet these requirements by providing precise control over light exposure conditions.
Instrument Specifications and Their Relevance to ASTM D1729
The TNG1031 Color Matching Cabinet /B/C/D is equipped with multiple light sources, including D65, TL84, CWF, F/A, UV, and U30. These light sources are essential for simulating different lighting environments that textiles may encounter during use. The D65 light source, for example, is a standard daylight source used to simulate daylight conditions, which is critical for assessing how a textile's color changes under typical exposure. Additionally, the cabinet supports a 220/110 V power supply at 50/60 Hz, ensuring compatibility with various electrical systems and maintaining consistent performance across different laboratory setups.
