Explanation of Glossary of Textile Testing Instruments

Textile testing instruments are a big noun category. The testing instruments required for different products, different functions, and unmet standard requirements in the textile industry are completely different. Below, the basic conceptual analysis of common textile testing instruments will be made: 1. Mechanical property testing instruments: Test the various properties of textile materials under the action of external mechanical forces, including tensile property testing instruments and abrasion resistance testing instruments. 2. Appearance quality testing instrument: It is used to test the appearance quality of yarn strips and printed and dyed fabrics. Appearance quality usually refers to yarn evenness, yarn defects, and dye fastness of printed and dyed fabrics. 3. Fabric style detector: an instrument that detects certain physical and mechanical properties of fabrics to comprehensively evaluate the style of fabrics. 4. Physical property testing instrument: an instrument for testing the air permeability, moisture permeability and electrical properties of textile materials. Testing of these properties reflects the comfort and hygiene of garment fabrics when worn. There are air permeability tester, moisture permeability tester, thermal insulation tester and fiber specific resistance tester. 5. Technological property testing instrument: an instrument for testing process properties such as fiber length, fineness, crimp, yarn twist, yarn hairiness and moisture regain. There are fiber length tester, fiber fineness tester, fiber crimp tester, yarn hairiness tester, yarn twist tester, moisture regain tester, etc. 6. Fabric testing instruments: fabric tension tester, zipper fatigue tester, fabric pilling tester, ICI pilling tester, button tension tester, zipper reciprocating fatigue tester, rolling box type pilling tester, water-soaked tester Degree tester, fabric flat grinder, fabric thickness gauge (fabric thickness gauge, portable fabric thickness gauge), fabric density mirror, fabric tear tester, fabric weight meter, button press, cloth weight balance (fabric weight balance ), sample cutter (Hong Kong sample cutter, domestic sample cutter), cutter (manual sample cutter), electronic yarn count detection system. Seven, printing and dyeing fastness Textile equipment: perspiration color fastness tester, rubbing color fastness tester, color fastness rubbing tester, horizontal burning tester, vertical burning tester, 45 degree burning tester, washing color fastness Degree testing machine, shrinkage tester (domestic standard washing machine, AATCC standard washing machine, AATCC standard clothes dryer, textile viscometer, textile coding machine. Eight: General textile testing equipment: metal detector, standard color matching light box, Needle detector, magnifying glass. Nine: Textile simulation environment testing instruments: pointer push-pull force meter, digital display push-pull force meter, digital temperature and humidity meter, infrared thermometer, illuminance meter, noise meter, constant temperature and humidity box, drying box , anemometer, color difference meter, constant temperature incubator, temperature and humidity recorder. 10. Textile test consumables: consumables that need to be used in the test process. For example: AATCC white cotton cloth, European washing cloth, American standard washing cloth, Japan Standard stained gray scale, etc. Article source: (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd.

What Are the ISTA Standard Tests and ISTA Testing Equipment?
ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) standard tests are globally recognized transportation packaging test procedures designed to evaluate the safety and reliability of products and their packaging throughout the logistics chain. By simulating real-world transportation conditions such as drops, vibration, impact, stacking, and compression, ISTA testing helps identify potential packaging weaknesses before products enter large-scale distribution. ISTA testing equipment—including drop testers, vibration testers, incline impact machines, and compression testers—plays a critical role in accurately reproducing these conditions under laboratory settings. Proper selection and use of ISTA-compliant equipment enable manufacturers to reduce transportation damage, lower return costs, enhance packaging design, and improve customer confidence in product quality and logistics safety.
Analysis of Pilling Influencing Factors and Testing Methods
Pilling testing plays a vital role in textile quality control, helping manufacturers evaluate and improve the wear performance of fabrics. Through the use of advanced instruments like ICI Pilling Box Test Method (GT-C18) , Martindale Abrasion Test Method (GT-C13B) , and Random Tumble Pilling Test Method (GT-C19A) , laboratories can conduct precise and standardized assessments, ensuring that final textile products deliver superior appearance, comfort, and longevity.
