There are many feather or down proof fabrics, such as duvets/comforters, that have a warming effect. Downproof performance is an important indicator to test the quality of fabrics.
The test of down proof performance is to check whether the fabric's fabric is tight enough to effectively prevent down and feathers from drilling out from the inside. If the test result is good, it means that the fabric is of high quality and is not prone to down drilling; if the test result is bad, it means that the fabric may not be tight enough and needs to be improved.
The Fabric Down Proof Testing Machine GT-C41 is designed to test the down-proof performance of fabrics, to help manufacturers ensure the quality of their products and to prevent consumers from buying down jackets or duvets that are prone to down drilling. In the next section we will take a closer look at the working principle and features of this machine.
What is the Fabric Down Proof Testing Machine GT-C41?
This Down Proof Tester is used to test the permeability of down and/or feathers through primary crocheted fabrics containing samples of feather and/or down filling. The test object is a sample containing down and/or feather fillings (e.g., duvets, comforters, etc.).
Features
Electronic counter: the Down Proof Tester is equipped with an electronic counter that allows the number of test cycles to be set.
Safety cover: it is equipped with an acrylic plastic cover with interlock for safety.
How to Perform the Down Proof Test?
Preparation of the test sample: a cushion of the specified size is made from the fabric to be tested and filled with a quantity of down and feathers (or a mixture of them).
Installation test: This cushion is installed on a Down Proof Testing Machine that rubs the cushion a specified number of times.
Judgment of results: At the end of the test, observe how many down or feather particles have drilled out or penetrated the fabric. The less down or feathers are drilled out, the better the fabric's downproof performance.
Down proof performance is an important indicator of the quality of down products, which directly affects the comfort and durability of the products. GT-C41 Down Proof Testing Machine can help manufacturers to optimize the selection of fabrics and strictly control the quality in the production process, so as to create more high-end and more durable down products and improve the competitiveness of the market.
