ISO 105-X12 Standard: Guidelines for Colour Fastness to Rubbing ISO 105-X12 specifies a method for determining the colour fastness of textiles to rubbing (crocking), using an electronic crockmeter. This section details the key aspects of the standard. I. Scope ISO 105-X12 is applicable to all types of textiles for the determination of colour fastness to rubbing (crocking). Examples include textile...
Bennewart Method: EN Sole Flexing Tester GT-KB06 A shoe sole may wear out and crack or break due to the strain generated by the flexing action of the foot. Cracking or fracturing can also occur from sharp edges cutting notches and punctures, which will gradually turn into cracks during continuous flexion. It is therefore important to test the flex-crack resistance of shoe soles, and the Bennewart ...
Understanding Sanitary Napkin Water Absorbency Tester GT-CN20 In the sanitary products industry, the absorbency of sanitary napkins is one of the most critical quality metrics. In order to ensure that sanitary napkins can meet the needs of consumers and comply with the relevant standards, manufacturers and third-party testing organisations need to evaluate them with the help of professional testin...
The Elmendorf Tearing Strength Tester: A Complete Guide The Concept of Tear Strength Individual yarns in a fabric tear under stress concentration in the remaining fabric, which is referred to as the tear phenomenon of the fabric. For example, when a fabric is grabbed by an object, the local yarns will be forced to tear. Or part of the fabric is fixed and torn into two halves. Typically, tear perfo...

ISO 12945-2: Test Method for Surface Pilling Using the Martindale Abrasion Tester Pills are formed when fibers on a fabric surface migrate out and become entangled during wear. Such surface deterioration is generally undesirable, but consumer tolerance for a given pilling level depends on the garment type and fabric end-use. Introducing the ISO 12945-2:2020, a comprehensive standard that provides ...

How to Perform a Tensile Strength Test According to ASTM D412 ASTM D412 is the most common standard for determining the tensile properties of vulcanized (thermoset) rubber and thermoplastic elastomers. Compounds in this family are used to create a vast array of consumer goods such as tires, footballs, and rubber bands. What does it Measure? ASTM D412 measures the elasticity of a material while und...
