Finding BS 3424 equipment through GSM

The TNG1103 Fabric Scale and TNG1104 Pneumatic Sample Press are essential instruments for achieving compliance with BS 3424, a standard that specifies the methods for determining the weight per unit area of textile materials.

Compliance with BS 3424 and Instrument Functionality

BS 3424 outlines procedures for measuring the weight per unit area (gsm) of woven and non-woven fabrics. This standard is critical in the textile industry to ensure product quality and consistency. The TNG1103 Fabric Scale and TNG1104 Pneumatic Sample Press are specifically designed to meet the requirements of this standard. The TNG1103 Fabric Scale is used to measure the weight of fabric samples, while the TNG1104 Pne0umatic Sample Press ensures that the samples are uniformly compressed to a specified thickness, which is necessary for accurate weight measurement.

Specifications Supporting BS 3424 Compliance

The TNG1103 Fabric Scale has a maximum weight capacity of 3.5kg and operates on a power supply of 220/110 V at 50/60 Hz. These specifications ensure that the instrument can handle a wide range of fabric samples and operate reliably in different electrical environments. The scale's length of 210 mm is designed to accommodate standard fabric samples, ensuring that measurements are taken over a consistent area. The TNG1103 also complies with both ISO 3801 and ASTM D3776, which are international standards that align with BS 3424, providing a globally recognized framework for testing.

The TNG1104 Pneumatic Sample Press has a maximum pressure capacity of 0.5-0.6 Mpa and a length of 400 mm. These specifications allow the press to apply a uniform pressure to fabric samples, ensuring that they are compressed to the required thickness for accurate weight measurement. The press is compatible with ISO 3801 and ASTM D3776, which are essential for ensuring that the samples are prepared in a manner consistent with BS 3424. The 400 mm length of the press is suitable for handling larger fabric samples, making it versatile for various testing scenarios.

Instrument Category and Model Page Reference

Both the TNG1103 Fabric Scale and TNG1104 Pneumatic Sample Press fall under the GSM Testing category, which is a dedicated section on the website for instruments used in weight per unit area measurements. The model pages for these instruments provide detailed specifications, operating instructions, and compatibility information with relevant standards. By selecting the TNG1103 Fabric Scale or TNG1104 Pneumatic Sample Press, users can ensure that their testing procedures are aligned with BS 3424 and other international standards, thereby enhancing the reliability and accuracy of their results.
