Leather softness test method1
The leather softness test is a routine indicator for checking the comfort and quality of leather. Different indicators have different testing requirements. Here, we will briefly introduce the GB standard as an example. Experiment purpose: To determine the relative softness of leather. Experimental materials: genuine leather, artificial leather. Experimental equipment: leather softness tester. Sample three experimental conditions: experimental temperature: 23±2°C, RH 60±5% experimental steps: 1. Use a test ring with a diameter of 35mm on the test seat of the testing machine; 2. Use the metal plate equipped with the machine to zero the machine dial; 3. Press the sample into the In the test seat; 4. After the sample is pressed in, the pointer on the testing machine will change. After the pointer is stable, record the corresponding value (accuracy to 0.1mm); 5. Take the average value of the three different points tested Note : The distance between two adjacent test points is not less than 15cm. Diameter of the test ring: ∮=35 mm. The diameter of the shrinking ring is suitable for detecting shoe leather. The diameter of the test ring: ∮=25 mm. : ∮=20 mm The shrink ring is suitable for detecting leather for gloves or leather clothing. Report record: The report should indicate the sample form, the value of sample softness and the diameter of the test ring. Example: Sample Name: Brown Leather Quantity: 1 Piece Test Item Results Methods and Conditions Softness Test 1.90mm Temperature: 23±2℃ Test Ring Diameter: ∮=35mm More about Leather Testing Instruments: http://www.standard-groups.com/LeatherShoes/

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.
