What problems should we pay attention to when purchasing textile equipment?

With the development of the economy, all kinds of product styles are varied, and the same is true for the instrument industry. Just textile instruments alone are dazzling. So when purchasing textile instruments, what standard should we use as buyers to measure the pros and cons of textile instruments? What aspects should we pay attention to when using it? In terms of price and quality, how should we choose? What problems should we pay attention to when purchasing textile equipment? If you can pay attention to these points when purchasing, then you will be able to bring home high-quality and inexpensive instruments, thereby reducing costs for enterprises and improving instrument utilization. This article will focus on the knowledge of textile instrument procurement. 1. When purchasing, we should pay special attention to the measurement performance of textile instruments. Because the measurement performance directly affects whether the measurement results are accurate and consistent. Textile instruments with good measurement performance have better stability and are within the allowable error range. Therefore, it is necessary to do the necessary metrological verification when purchasing. (1) An instrument often has several ranges to choose from. Generally, the error at both ends of the indication range of the instrument is large, so according to the different test objects, it should be selected. Reasonable and moderate instrument range. (2) The precision of the instrument (accuracy for short) is a comprehensive reflection of random errors and systematic errors. In order to obtain the difference of the test objects at the same time, a reasonable and moderate instrument range should be selected. (3) The reproducibility of the instrument indicates the consistency of the same measured physical quantity under different measurement conditions, commonly referred to as the inter-station error or“platform difference”, is one of the reproducibility indicators, so it is very important to have good reproducibility when selecting instruments. Metrology performance is the basic lever for measuring textile instruments. 2. What are the main textile instruments? Common ones are: disc sampler, geotextile abrasion tester, geotextile dynamic perforation tester, geotextile thickness meter, geotextile effective aperture tester, geotextile permeability tester, electronic geotextile strength comprehensive testing machine , rubbing color fastness tester, shrinkage rate tester, thermal resistance and moisture resistance performance tester, and other brands are provided. Regardless of the type of textile instrument, you should carefully read the corresponding technical parameters before use, so as to avoid failure during use and damage the life of the instrument. As long as the technical parameters and supporting instructions are taken seriously, the compatibility between accessories and accessories can be better played, and the instrument can work better. For example: frequency, sample bearing weight, friction times, external dimensions and other parameters. Third, pay attention to the price/performance ratio when purchasing instruments. Although there is such an old saying——you get what you pay for. However, in the current economic society, we must allocate resources rationally, seek truth from facts, and do not blindly compare. There is no best, only the most suitable. The purchase of textile equipment of that grade depends on the specific work in which it is invested. Consider what kind of models are required for the work to be done, and purchase them in a targeted manner, so as to reduce costs and maximize profits. Then again, it's better to buy instruments from big brands, because big brands have credibility, reliable quality, and reasonable prices. Therefore, it's better to buy instruments from brands. (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. has been based on textile testing instruments for 12 years, and has accumulated rich industry experience and social brand benefits. It is your trusted partner. In a word, when buying textile equipment, you should pay attention to the three aspects mentioned above. Not only that, but you can also refer to the above when buying other equipment. I hope it will have a certain effect on your purchase of textile equipment. Learn more about textile equipment procurement: http://www.standard-groups.com/News/index_2.html
