  • How are masks tested?
    How are masks tested? March 06, 2020
    There are three types of masks, including disposable medical masks, medical surgical masks, and medical protective masks. Masks are generally composed of meltblown cloth, non-woven fabric, mask tape, and nose clip. The outer and inner layers are made of non-woven fabric and the middle layer is made of meltblown fabric. The "melt-blown cloth" is commonly known as the "heart" of the mask. The fake mask is very thin. If there are only two layers inside and outside without a melt-blown cloth in the middle, it will not be able to play a role in blocking particles and bacteria. Compared with ordinary masks, the outer layer of medical surgical masks has flame retardant properties, and at the same time, it must have the ability to prevent blood penetration to ensure the safety of medical personnel.So, what are the general procedures for testing masks? Mask tape test:each mask has 4 welding points. It is required that the breaking strength of the joint between each mask root and the mask body should be not less than 10N. Each test lasts for 5 seconds. Mask performance test: For the close-fitting test of the mask, ten volunteers are generally required to see if the mask nose fits properly. Volunteers will perform actions such as rocking left and right, nodding up and down, and testing for mask leaks. The staff put on a medical protective mask and entered the small room to test the tightness of the mask. The closed small room was filled with sodium chloride aerosol. Waterproof test: Use 250ml of water to drip down. After all the leakage is finished, see how the mask is waterproof according to the standard. Block blood performance test: Medical surgical masks and protective masks must not only be waterproof, but also blood-proof. The staff would use artificial blood to call from a distance to see if the other side of the mask came through. The main reason that a qualified mask can block blood is the meltblown cloth in the middle. Finally, test the comfort performance of the mask. GESTER international LTD. specializes in R & D and production of mask testing equipment, protective clothing testing equipment and medical products testing equipment.

  • Fabric air permeability test and principle
    Fabric air permeability test and principle December 10, 2019
    An important factor affecting fabric comfort is the Air Permeability of the fabric. Sportswear and windproof and winter clothing have higher requirements for fabric Air Permeability. Some industrial textiles, such as aircraft parachutes and filter cloths, have special requirements for fabric permeability. Fabric air permeability is determined by the number and size of warp and weft yarns and fiber gaps in the fabric. It is also related to warp and weft density, warp and weft yarn characteristics, and yarn twist. It is also related to factors such as fiber properties, yarn structure, fabric thickness and bulk weight. Fabric air permeability test and principle: The so-called fabric air permeability refers to the air permeability of textile fabrics when there is a pressure difference between the two sides of the fabric. That is, the volume of air per unit area of the fabric flowing in a unit time under the prescribed pressure difference on both sides of the fabric, the unit is L / mm2s. Because the pressure difference is a necessary condition for the air to flow, only when a certain pressure difference is maintained on both sides of the tested fabric can air flow occur in the fabric. The air permeability test is based on a fixed pressure difference as the benchmark for the air permeability test. The pressure difference stipulated by the test standards in different countries is not consistent. For example, the American ANSI / ASTM, K773, FS191 / 5450 and Japanese JISL1096 stipulate 127.4Pa (13mm water column); French NFG07-111 stipulates 196Pa (20mm water column); German DIN 53387 stipulates Clothing fabric is 100Pa (10mm water column), parachute fabric is 160PA (16mm water column), filter fabric and industrial fabric is 200Pa (20mm water column); British BS5636 stipulates 98Pa (about 10mm water column) and so on. Test Equipment:Air permeability testing machine GT-C27 Different fabrics have very different air permeability requirements. Even for the same fabric, due to different use requirements, the pressure difference between the two sides of the fabric is often different. Therefore, different pressures should be selected according to the characteristics of the fabric's own materials and the use requirements Drop to test.

  • Fabric water permeability and waterproof properties
    Fabric water permeability and waterproof properties December 04, 2019
    Water permeability of fabric is called water permeability. The opposite performance is called waterproof or anti permeability. The characteristics of fabrics that are easily wetted with water are mainly related to the surface properties of the fabrics, so they can be called surface moisture resistance. Due to the different uses of fabrics, the surface moisture resistance requirements are also different. Fabrics used for raincoats, tents, sails, etc. need to have good water resistance, while fabrics for filtering purposes need to have good water permeability. Some outdoor garments, such as raincoats, also have certain requirements for waterproof. What kinds of test methods or testing equipments for fabric water permeability (waterproof) properties Fabric water-permeability (waterproof) tester is a tester which is often used in the textile industry,Different test equipment requirements for different standards and requirements,At present, fabric water permeability (waterproof) test instruments are commonly used,Hydrostatic head tester, Spray type waterproof tester (Spray rating tester), rain tester, corresponding to three kinds of water permeability test methods: hydrostatic method, spray method, rain method. These three methods will be introduced separately. 1.Hydrostatic Pressure Test method(Hydrostatic Head Tester) The hydrostatic method refers to the water permeability of fabric under a certain water pressure,it is applicable to all kinds of fabrics, including the fabric which had been waterproof finishing fabric .Waterproof of fabric is related to the waterproof of fibers, yarns, and fabric structures. The measured results is different with water spray and rain on the fabric surface. Hydrostatic method is used to measure the waterproof of fabrics. There are hydrostatic method and dynamic pressure method.   In the AATCC 127-2003 test method experiment, take at least three samples with a size and area of 200mm×200mm along the diagonal direction of the sample to be tested. The water resistance of the two sides of the sample is different. Make a mark and test with (21±2) ℃ distilled water. The test area is 100 cm2. The test surface is in contact with water. If there are water droplets leaking from three different places on the sample, the test reaches the end. However, water droplets leaking within 3mm from the sample holder are not effective. The measured result is the average of 3 test samples under the same conditions. The larger the test value, the greater the pressure value required for water to seep out of the sample, and the better its water resistance. 2. Spray Test Method (Spray Rating Tester) The spray method simulates the degree to which clothing gets wet when it gets drizzled. This method is applicable to all water-resistant fabrics and untreated fabrics. The measured water-resistance results have a great relationship with the treatment of fibers, yarns, fabrics, and fabric structure. In the AATCC 22-2005 test method, the test sample is...

  • What are the standards for waterproof performance tests?
    What are the standards for waterproof performance tests? November 30, 2019
    The waterproof performance of fabrics is mainly divided into the performance of fabrics resistant to water wetting and the resistance of fabrics to water penetration. The water-repellent properties of the fabric are characterized by water-drenching grade, hydrostatic pressure-resistant grade, and water penetration. The test methods are mainly divided into the water-drenching method (spray method) and hydrostatic pressure method. The waterproof performance of the fabric is mainly used in windbreakers, skin clothing, outdoor jackets, medical professional protective clothing, beach life jackets, umbrellas, tents, tarpaulins, etc. Testing standards for waterproof performance At present, in daily testing, the most commonly used tests for waterproof performance are the water-dip method and the hydrostatic pressure method. The relevant test standards are as follows: Method standard of water-dip method (spray method): GB / T 4745-2012, ISO 4920-2012, AATCC 22-2010, JIS L 1092-1998 Instrument:Spray Rating Tester GT-C31 The above-mentioned standard test principle is to mount the sample on a ring-shaped holder, keep the holder at 45 ° from the horizontal, and place the center of the sample at a certain distance below the nozzle. Spray the sample with a certain amount of distilled or deionized water. After spraying, the water level of the fabric was determined by comparing the appearance of the sample with the description of the phenomenon of water staining and the picture. Method standard for hydrostatic method:GB / T 4744-2013, GB / T 24218.16-2017, FZ / T 01004-2008, ISO 811-1981, ISO 1420-2016, ISO 9073-16-2007E, AATCC 127-2014, JIS L 1092-199 Instrument:Hydrostatic Head Tester for Textile GT-C26A, High pressure-servo Hydrostatic Pressure Test Equipment GT-C26B The standard test principle of the above standard is to use the hydrostatic pressure on the fabric to represent the resistance encountered by water through the fabric. One side of the sample is subjected to continuously increasing water pressure until water seepage occurs on the other side, and the water seepage condition and pressure value are recorded.

  • Standard test method for fastness to sunlight of fabrics
    Standard test method for fastness to sunlight of fabrics October 17, 2019
    The light fastness refers to the degree of lightfastness of the dyed fabric, that is, the degree of discoloration and discoloration of the dyed fabric under the illumination of sunlight or artificial light sources.Sunlight fading is a relatively complicated process. Under the illumination of light, the dye absorbs light energy, and the molecules are decomposed or rearranged to cause discoloration and discoloration. The fading mechanism is different, such as the fading of azo dyes on cellulose fibers, mainly due to the oxidation of dyes by air under the illumination of light, and its fading on protein fibers is often the result of reduction. According to international standards, the light fastness is divided into 8 grades, the lowest grade 1 is equivalent to fading after exposure to sunlight for 3 hours; the highest grade 8 is equivalent to fading at 384 h after exposure to sunlight. The evaluation method is based on the comparison of the blue wool standard. The standard is a wool fabric dyed with 8 different light fastness blue dyes, and the degree of solarization between them is geometrically spaced. That is, level 2 sun 57 h, level 3 sun 112 h, level 4 sun 166 h, level 5 sun 220 h, level 6 sun 275 h, 7 level sun 329 h. Under normal circumstances, the light fastness can reach 4, and the special requirements for high light fastness can reach 5 levels. However, in the actual test, since the intensity of the sunlight is unstable, the test results are also different, so the artificial light source (the xenon arc lamp, the carbon arc lamp) is used to test the light fastness. The general methods are now GB/T8427-1998 "Test Method for Xenon Arc Lamps"; ISO 105-B01-1994 "Textile Fastness Test Part B01: Light Fastness", ISO 105-B02-1994 "Textile Colors" Fastness test Part B02: Resistance to artificial light fastness Xenon arc lamp fading test, ISO 105-B05-1993 "Texture fastness test of textiles Part B05: Detection and evaluation of photochromism"; AATCC139-2000 "Lightfastness" Color fastness: detection of photochromism, AATCC 169-2003 "Textile weatherability: Xenon arc lamp irradiation"; JIS L 0841-2004 "Sunlight fastness test method", JIS L 0842-2004 Test method for dyeing fastness of ultraviolet carbon arc light, JIS L 0842-1998 "Test method for dyeing fastness of xenon arc resistance". Recommended test equipment: GT-3000 Light Weather Fastness Tester GT-D01 Suntest & Xenon Arc Testers GT-D01B Colorfastness to Ozone GT-D02A-1 Light Fastness Tester-RT GT-D02C Carbon Arc Lamp Colorfastness to Weathering Tester
