Finding ISO 9073 equipment through Bursting / Tear / Tensile Strength

The TNG1051 Air Permeability Tester and TNG1019 SmartPull Tensile Tester (Dual Column Type) are essential instruments for meeting the requirements of ISO 9073, which outlines the testing of air permeability in textile materials.
Understanding ISO 9073 and Its Testing Requirements

ISO 9073 is an international standard that specifies the procedures for determining the air permeability of textile materials. This standard is crucial for industries that rely on the breathability and performance of fabrics, such as sportswear, medical textiles, and outdoor gear. The standard requires precise measurement of air flow through a material under controlled conditions, ensuring consistency and reliability in test results. The test method involves measuring the air flow rate through a sample under a specified pressure differential, which helps in evaluating the material's ability to allow air passage.
Air Permeability Tester (TNG1051) and Its Specifications
The TNG1051 Air Permeability Tester is specifically designed to meet the requirements of ISO 9073. This instrument provides accurate and repeatable measurements of air permeability by controlling the air flow through a sample under a defined pressure. One of the key specifications of the TNG1051 is its measurement units, which include mm/s, m/s, l/m²/s, and other relevant units, allowing for flexibility in data interpretation. Another important specification is the test pressure range of 10~2,500 Pa, which ensures that the instrument can accommodate a wide variety of testing conditions as specified by ISO 9073. These specifications support the standard by enabling precise and standardized measurements that are essential for quality control and compliance.
TNG1019 SmartPull Tensile Tester (Dual Column Type) and Its Role

The TNG1019 SmartPull Tensile Tester (Dual Column Type) is used for testing the mechanical properties of materials, including tensile strength and bursting resistance. While this instrument is not directly used for air permeability testing, it plays a vital role in the overall evaluation of textile materials. The TNG1019 has a test capacity of 1000 kg, which allows for the testing of a wide range of materials under various load conditions. Additionally, the travel accuracy of ≤1% ensures that the measurements are reliable and consistent, which is crucial for meeting the standards set by ISO 9073. These specifications support the testing process by providing accurate and repeatable results that contribute to the overall assessment of material performance.
