Mastering Material Testing: The Essential Guide to Coefficient of Friction

Image
  The coefficient of friction tester is a measuring instrument used to measure the static and dynamic friction coefficients of materials such as plastic films and sheets, rubber, paper, cardboard, woven bags, fabric styles, metal composite belts for communication cables and optical cables, conveyor belts, wood, coatings, brake pads, wipers, shoe materials, tires, etc. when sliding. By measuring the smoothness of materials, the production quality and process indicators of materials can be controlled and adjusted to meet the requirements of product use. In addition, it can also be used for measuring the smoothness performance of daily chemical products such as cosmetics and eye drops. Related definition Antistatic:  Property of a material that reduces its propensity to acquire electrostatic charges or allows electrostatic charges to dissipate quickly. Conductive:  Providing a sufficiently high conductivity so that potential differences over any parts of a material or object are not suffi

What Performance Indicators Cotton Fibers Have?

  Cotton is the most important natural textile fiber, as well as cellulosic textile fiber, in the world, used to produce apparel, home furnishings, and industrial products. Worldwide about 40% of the fiber consumed was cotton. But how much do you know about the testing indicators of cotton fibers in the production process? Cilck Here to Find the Machine for Fiber Testing Fiber length Fiber length is largely influenced by variety, but the cotton plant’s exposure to extreme temperatures, water stress, or nutrient deficiencies may result in shorter fibers. Excessive cleaning or drying at the gin may also result in shorter fibers. Fiber length affects yarn strength, yarn evenness, and the efficiency of the spinning process. The fineness of the yarn that can be successfully produced from given fibers also is influenced by fiber length. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the length of cotton fibers during the production process. Main Indicators of Fiber Length The main indicators for measu

What You Need to Know about Wool Fibers

  The Relations between wool fiber’s structure and properties and evaluation of quality of wool fibers. Wool is a fiber, or modified hair, that grows from the skin of sheep. Because it is formed as a living substance, its growth is regulated by the inherited characteristics of the sheep and by the general condition of the sheep producing it. Wool’s range of desirable properties make it a valuable material for many different purposes, from high-end fashion to fire-resistant products and heavy-duty carpet. So, do you know how wool’s unique structure creates its many desirable properties? And how to evaluate the quality of wool fibers? Wool Fiber Length Main Indicators (1) Barbe (length): The average fiber length calculated based on the proportion of fibers of different lengths in the sample by weight, also known as weight weighted average length. (2) Hauteur (length): The average fiber length calculated based on the proportion of fiber cross-section in the sample, also known as the quant

Everything You Need to Know about Fiber Specific Resistance Tester

Image
  Introduction Fiber resistance meter, also known as fiber specific resistance instrument or fiber specific resistance tester, is mainly used to measure the conductivity of fibers. This instrument measures the resistance value with a certain density under a certain geometric shape, and then converts it into the specific resistance of the fiber based on its filling degree. Specific resistance is an indicator that describes the conductivity of fibers, especially during chemical fiber processing. Friction can generate static electricity and accumulate easily, affecting the smooth progress of the process. Therefore, measuring the specific resistance of fibers is an effective method for quantitatively understanding the conductivity of fibers and predicting their spinnability. Through this method, the quality of fibers can be controlled and optimized to ensure their smooth spinning process. Measuring the specific resistance of various fibers:  Whether it is natural fibers or synthetic fibers
