Finding ISO 6330 equipment through Colour Fastness

The TNG1041 Standards Tumble Dryer and TNG1112 Automatic Fabric Shrinkage Machine are essential for compliance with ISO 6330, ensuring accurate and repeatable results for fabric care and shrinkage testing.
Compliance with ISO 6330

ISO 6330 is a critical standard for evaluating the care and maintenance of textiles, particularly focusing on the effects of washing and drying. This standard outlines procedures for testing the shrinkage and dimensional changes of fabrics under specified conditions. To ensure accurate results, laboratories must use instruments that meet the exact requirements of this standard. The TNG1041 Standards Tumble Dryer and TNG1112 Automatic Fabric Shrinkage Machine are specifically designed to align with these requirements, providing reliable and reproducible data for textile testing.
TNG1041 Standards Tumble Dryer
The TNG1041 Standards Tumble Dryer is a key instrument for simulating the drying process as defined by ISO 6330. This model is designed to replicate the conditions of a standard tumble dryer, ensuring that fabric samples are exposed to consistent heat and tumbling action. Two critical specifications of the TNG1041 are its capacity of 40 kg and its power supply of 220/110 V at 50/60 Hz. The 40 kg capacity allows for the testing of multiple fabric samples simultaneously, improving efficiency without compromising accuracy. The power supply specifications ensure compatibility with various electrical systems, making the instrument suitable for use in different laboratory environments. These specifications support the ISO 6330 standard by ensuring that the drying process is standardized and repeatable, which is essential for obtaining reliable test results.
TNG1112 Automatic Fabric Shrinkage Machine

The TNG1112 Automatic Fabric Shrinkage Machine is designed to measure the dimensional changes of fabrics after washing and drying, as required by ISO 6330. This model is equipped with a 215 kg capacity and operates on a 220/110 V power supply at 50/60 Hz. The 215 kg capacity allows for the testing of larger fabric samples, which is important for assessing shrinkage in materials used in garments and home textiles. The power supply specifications ensure that the machine can be used in a wide range of laboratory settings, enhancing its versatility. These specifications support the ISO 6330 standard by ensuring that the shrinkage measurements are conducted under controlled and standardized conditions, which is vital for the accuracy and consistency of test results.
Instrument Category and Model Page
Both the TNG1041 and TNG1112 instruments fall under the categories of Colour Fastness Testing and Shrinkage / Dimensional Change Testing, respectively. These categories are essential for ensuring that textiles meet the required standards for durability and performance. The model pages for these instruments provide detailed specifications and operational guidelines, allowing users to select the appropriate equipment for their testing needs. By adhering to the specifications outlined in ISO 6330, these instruments help laboratories maintain the highest standards of accuracy and reliability in their testing processes.
