Analysis on the trend of testing instrument industry in my country's textile industry in 2016

my country is the largest textile country in the world. The textile and light testing-equipment' target='_blank'>textile industry occupies an important proportion in our country and is an important pillar industry of the national economy. At present, the textile testing industry supporting the textile industry has gradually developed in my country. At present, the textile testing industry in my country It is gradually maturing, and it has been gradually completed in terms of technology and market. Textile testing Since the Bradford International Textile Conference in England in 1875 formulated a series of inspection requirements, methods and standards for textile fibers, yarns and fabrics, the international development of textile testing technology and textile instruments has surpassed a century. It has experienced Multiple development eras. With the development of science and technology for a century, a solid foundation has been laid for the development of textile testing technology and textile instruments. Before the 1940s, most textile inspection principles and technologies were manual and mechanical, and only a few parts used electric energy (oven heating, very small amount of raw material transmission, etc.). Even so, the constant temperature control used in the oven also used contact mercury Thermometer, micro-motor pulley, gear transmission based structure) and a small amount of optical principles (mechanical optical microscope testing fiber fineness, maturity, etc.). From the 1940s to the 1970s, textile testing instruments made a lot of progress in detection principles, using the principle of fiber shielding and reflection of visible light, the principle of fiber visible light RCB chromaticity, and the principle of fiber dielectric coefficient sensing capacitance field. , The principle of fiber straightening, displacement and resonance in an electrostatic field, the principle of fiber permeability induced in a strong gradient magnetic field, the law of gas and liquid media flowing in the fiber assembly and the law of jet flow, and the reflection of x-rays on microcrystals The principles of interference and interference are applied to textile testing instruments; at the same time, the progress of microelectronics and electronic circuit technology has greatly improved the level of comprehensive testing and automation, especially the mathematical differential circuit, mathematical integral circuit, and mathematical logarithmic conversion of electronic hardware. The application of circuits, etc., has significantly promoted the rapid and automatic calculation level of testing instruments. From the 1980s to the 1990s, the textile materials' absorption and reflection principles of the ultraviolet spectrum, the absorption and reflection principles of the near-infrared and mid-infrared, the absorption and resonance principles of electromagnetic waves in different modes of microwave resonators, and the principle of fiber resonance absorption of acoustic vibrations, The principle of sound velocity transmission in the fiber, the principle of heat conduction in the fiber, the principle of water vapor and liquid water transmission in the fiber, the principle of water evaporation on the surface of the fiber, the principle of dry and wet fiber electrical conduction, the distribution of ionic charges in the liquid on the surface of the fiber Principles, various groups produced by chemical reactions, the electrical properties of ions and the principles of other properties on electricity and magnetism, the principles of electrostatic field distribution and leakage on textiles, etc. are applied to textile testing instruments; at the same time, electronic computer data collection, Data processing technology, especially the ever-increasing high-speed data processing and the application of a large number of mature computing software, has greatly promoted the ever-changing progress of textile testing instruments. In today's society, due to the economic development and the improvement of people's living standards, consumers have higher requirements for textile quality, especially in terms of wearing comfort. Textile quality assessment content has been added. It can be said that many original textile standards in my country are the products of planned economy. The development and formulation of standards has a certain degree of one-sidedness and protection, and failed to fully consider the social consumption requirements of products. It can also be said that the formulation of these standards is restricted by technical conditions and failed to consider the development of the market economy. The changes in the material supply and demand of the entire society, especially the rights and interests of consumers, are paying more and more attention not only in the law, but also in the ideology of the entire society. The quality assurance content system will definitely add more content. Such as pilling performance, snagging performance, wrinkle performance, arching performance, sanitary performance, and even fabric comfort performance, the fabric feel will become the test and evaluation index, and it is also the research direction of the instrument. With the development of textile technology, many new textile materials and various functional textile products have emerged. New fibers such as modified soybean fiber, polylactic acid fiber, chitosan, conductive fiber, flame-retardant fiber, elastic fiber, infrared fiber, anti-ultraviolet fiber, moisture absorption and heat release fiber, moisture-conducting and quick-drying cool fiber, multiple different Composite fibers, etc., have begun to be the choice of new fashion fabrics. In addition to people paying attention to color and popular styles, functionalization is also pursued by consumers as fashion. Fabrics with certain functions are currently the key development targets of textile manufacturers, such as anti-electromagnetic shielding fabrics, antistatic fabrics, flame retardant fabrics, Anti-ultraviolet fabrics, antibacterial fabrics, wind-proof, rain-proof and moisture-permeable fabrics, moisture-absorbing and sweat-conducting cool fabrics, etc. Whether it is new fibers or functional fabrics, corresponding testing items must be added, so the research and development of functional textile testing instruments will also become inevitable. The impact of environmental pollution on human health and survival has aroused people's attention to environmental protection. Controlling and monitoring environmental pollution has become an important criterion for product development, production, and use, as well as a necessary condition for products to enter the market.
