Spectrophotometer
Machine Name: Spectrophotometer
Brand Name: GretagMacbeth
Model No: Color-Eye 7000A
Country of Origin: U.S.A
Fig: Spectrophotometer
Object:
It provides grey scale value in different methods, whiteness value and recipe formulation etc.
of colored or printed fabrics after dyeing and printing.
Description:
A spectrophotometer, one of the most useful physics lab equipment, is the combination of
two devices, a spectrometer and a photometer. Spectrometer is used for producing light of
any selected wavelength or color while a photometer is used for measuring the intensity of
light. The two devices are placed at either side of a cuvette filled with a liquid. Spectrometer
produces the light of desired wavelength and it passes through the tube and reaches
photometer that measures its intensity.

This is used to assess the change of color during the test of dyed and printed fabric for color
fastness to light, washing and rubbing.
Description:
Colors appear differently under different lighting conditions. Use of a light booth to simulate
different lighting conditions helps to obtain objective color assessment, improves
communication and reduces product rejections influences. For general color evaluation of
small samples this cabinet offers the following benefits:

Object:
The instrument is assessing the effect (change in shade of color) on the dyed and printed
fabrics.
Description:
This test measures the resistance to fading of dyed textiles when exposed to daylight. The
tested specimen is exposed for a certain time (12h, 20h, 24h, 36h etc or as customer demand)
under the light and compared the changes with the original unexposed specimen. These
changes are assessed by numerical expression which is made by blue light fastness scale.
LAUNDER METER

Crock Meter
Machine Name: Crock Meter
Brand Name: James H. Heal & Co. Ltd.
Country of Origin: England.
Description:
The manual crock meter is designed to test the discoloration extent of dry textile and leather
after abrasion. The rubbing hammer of this crock meter is wrapped with dry or wet white
cotton cloth, and then rubbed on the specimen clamped to the testing table ten times for 10
seconds. The cloth is then removed to evaluate the discolor level in comparison with a grayscale.
Perspirometer
Machine Name: Perspirometer
Brand Name: James H.Heal & Co.Ltd.
Model No: 290
Origin: England.
Fig: Perspirometer
Object:
It is used to determine the fastness of textiles to water, sea water & perspiration.
Description:
The perspiration tester is used for the test of fading or dyeing-movement in textile, which
were soaked by sweat, chloride water, seawater or distilled water. A compound specimen is
used to soak in artificial perspiration resolution (separately in acid and alkali) completely.
Natural dry for 30 minutes, then use this tester to apply a constant pressure. The specimen is
then put in 37C drying oven for 4 hours.

Object:
This machine is used to determine the resistance of the textile fabric after rubbing against a
standard abradant (a special woven worsted fabric) which is assessed by visual comparison
after predetermined number of cycles.
Description:
The Martindale Abrasion Tester is designed to determine the abrasion resistance of textile
fabrics. Fabrics of all types, including the types used in the shoe industry, may be tested by
this method, including woven, non-woven, and knit apparel fabrics, household fabrics,
industrial fabrics, and floor coverings. Abrasion resistance is measured by subjecting the
specimen to a rubbing motion in the form of a geometric figure.
Object:
To assess the amount of recovery of fabric from creasing
Description:
The Crease Recovery Angle Tester is used to determine the recovery from creasing of a
horizontally folded specimen by measuring the angle of recovery. It is particularly applicable
to fabric types which demonstrate a propensity to creasing such as cellulosic and other woven
apparel where a measure of crease resistance is desirable.
Object:
Air permeability tester is used to fast, simple & accurate determination of air permeability of
all kinds of materials.
Description:
The TEXTEST Air Permeability Tester is used for fast, simple, and accurate determination of
the air permeability of all kinds of flat materials and of foam cubes. The measuring range
covers dense.

Wrap reel
Machine Name: Wrap reel
Brand Name: Apex Enterprises
Model: 55A
Origin: England
Object:
It is used to prepare lea (120yds) of yarns for ascertaining the count strength.
Description:
The wrap reel allows the user to wind yarn thread with the required length, and then test its
strength of lea and quality. It can also be used for calculating the yarn-count.

Precision spiral column ensures uniform distortion of the loaded specimen
Supplied as standard with a with set of five weights
Optional replicas and photographic standards for assessment of tested specimens
Complies with AATCC, M&S and ISO standards
Conclusion:
Testing of textile material is very important for textile sector basically for a factory.Without
testing the quality cannot be ensure.In present market without quality the value of product is
less.To earn maximum profit from textile sector there is no alternative to ensure the quality of
textile materail.By doing this experimet we have known about different textile testing
equipment.I hope that this will help me much inmy job field.
