Gester Instruments | Professional Textile, Footwear and PPE Testing Equipments Manufacturers Since 1997
Briefly describe the development history of textile instruments
The textile industry has a long process flow from fiber raw materials to spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, clothing or other finished products. In order to control and improve product quality, it is necessary to conduct online inspection and monitoring of each process in the complex and multi-link process. Raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products are subject to quality inspection and quality control. my country's textile instrument manufacturing industry has a long history, dating back to the 1940s. In the 1980s, the Ministry of Textile Industry built six or seven designated textile instrument manufacturing plants, an instrument research and development base, and a textile instrument testing center, and established nearly 20 provincial textile measurement stations across the country, initially forming textile instruments Development, manufacturing, testing and maintenance systems; however, only low-end mechanical instruments were the mainstay at that time. Since the reform and opening up, driven by the market economy, the textile instrument manufacturing industry has developed rapidly. The participation of some military, private, and high-tech enterprises has promoted the improvement of my country's textile instrument design and manufacturing level, and products have gradually transitioned to electronics. Modernization and computerization almost include all kinds of instruments needed by the textile industry. In terms of the number of products, the world's largest textile instrument manufacturing industry has been formed. Not only does textile instruments no longer rely on imports, they are also exported abroad.

The Heat Contact Machine GT-C101 is a specialized testing instrument designed for evaluating the heat resistance and thermal protective performance of gloves, protective clothing, and other heat-resistant materials used in high-temperature environments. In industries such as smelting, casting, welding, and glass manufacturing, workers are frequently exposed to intense heat, making accurate testing of contact heat resistance essential for ensuring safety and compliance.
GT-C101 simulates real working conditions by measuring heat transfer delay and thermal transmission under instant contact with high-temperature surfaces. Fully compliant with EN 407, EN 702, and ISO 12127-1 standards, this machine provides precise, repeatable data for manufacturers, laboratories, and research institutions. With high-temperature capability up to 500°C, advanced calorimetry, digital monitoring, and adjustable contact speed, the Heat Contact Machine GT-C101 is an indispensable tool for developing and certifying next-generation PPE and heat-insulation materials.
Cut resistance is one of the most critical performance indicators in personal protective equipment (PPE) testing, directly affecting worker safety in high-risk industries such as metal processing, machinery manufacturing, and emergency rescue. The TDM Cut Test Machine GT-KC28 plays a vital role in accurately evaluating the cut resistance of PPE products, including gloves, protective clothing, footwear materials, composite materials, rubber, and industrial textiles.
By adopting high-precision force control systems, intelligent data processing, and stable transmission technology, the GT-KC28 TDM Cut Tester can accurately measure the critical cutting force of materials and ensure excellent repeatability and comparability of test results. Its user-friendly touch-screen operation, comprehensive data storage, USB data export, and built-in thermal printer greatly improve laboratory efficiency and data traceability.
The TDM Cut Test Machine GT-KC28 fully complies with major international and national standards such as ISO 13997, EN 388, ASTM F2992/F2992M, ANSI/ISEA 105, and GB 24541-2022, making it a reliable solution for PPE manufacturers, third-party testing laboratories, and research institutions. Through precise and standardized cut resistance testing, the GT-KC28 helps reduce industrial cutting injuries, supports PPE certification across global markets, and ensures that protective equipment delivers reliable safety performance in real-world applications.
