Pneumatic Fabric Stiffness Tester ASTM D4032
This pneumatic fabric stiffness tester measures the stiffness of fabrics. It uses a pneumatic system to apply force and determine the fabric's resistance to bending.
Technical Specifications
Overview
Precision Fabric Stiffness Testing
This pneumatic stiffness tester is designed to accurately measure the bending performance of various materials, including woven, knitted, and non-woven fabrics, as well as paper, leather, and films. By utilizing an infrared beam for non-contact detection, it eliminates measurement errors caused by specimen tilting, ensuring reliable results for crispness, drape, and softness analysis. The system features an automatic sample pressure plate for consistent positioning, significantly enhancing testing efficiency and accuracy in quality control environments.
