Fastness Rotary Friction Tester
A Fastness Rotary Friction Tester, also known as a Rotary Crock meter, is a specialized instrument used to evaluate the color fastness of textiles and materials when subjected to rotational rubbing. This test simulates the wear and friction that fabrics experience during use, helping manufacturers assess the durability of dyes and finishes.
Purpose of Fastness Rotary Friction Tester
The primary function of the Fastness Rotary Friction Tester is to determine how well a fabric’s color withstands rubbing, both in dry and wet conditions. This is crucial for ensuring the longevity and appearance of textiles in real-world applications, such as clothing, upholstery, and footwear.
Working Principle of Fastness Rotary Friction Tester
The tester operates by applying a specified pressure to a fabric sample using a standardized rubbing finger covered with a test cloth. The rubbing finger performs a set number of rotational movements (typically 1.125 turns clockwise followed by 1.125 turns counterclockwise) over the fabric surface. After the test, the degree of color transfer to the test cloth and any changes in the fabric’s appearance are evaluated against standardized gray scales.
Common Testing Standards
– AATCC 116: Colorfastness to Crocking: Rotary Vertical Crock meter Method.
ISO 105 X16: Textiles—Tests for color fastness—Part X16: Color fastness to rubbing—small areas.
– SATRA TM8: Color fastness to rubbing.
Key Specifications of Fastness Rotary Friction Tester
– Rubbing Head Diameter: Typically 16 mm.
– Applied Pressure: Approximately 1134 grams (11.1 N).
– Rotation: 1.125 turns clockwise followed by 1.125 turns counterclockwise.
– Sample Size: Commonly 60 mm × 60 mm.
– Test Cloth: Standardized white cotton cloth, either dry or wetted depending on the test condition.
Benefits of Fastness Rotary Friction Tester

- Mount the Fabric – Secure the fabric sample on the sample holder or base plate of the tester.
- Attach Rubbing Cloth – Place a standard white test cloth (dry or wetted as required) over the rubbing head.
- Apply Pressure – Lower the rubbing head onto the fabric. Standard weight is about 1134 g.
- Start the Test – Operate the tester: the head performs 1.125 turns clockwise, then 1.125 turns counterclockwise.- Number of cycles (typically 10 or 20) is set based on the test standard.
- Remove and Inspect – After testing, remove the rubbing cloth and assess any color transfer using a gray scale.

Fiber Oil Fast Extractor
Fiber Oil Fast Extractor
A Fiber Oil Fast Extractor is a laboratory instrument designed to determine the oil or finish content in fibers, yarns, or fabrics, particularly wool and synthetic materials. It operates on the principle of solvent extraction followed by evaporation. Working Principle of Fiber Oil Fast Extractor:- Sample Preparation: Cut the fabric or fiber into small pieces.
- Solvent Addition: Place the sample into a metal tube and add an appropriate solvent (e.g., petroleum ether, ethyl ether).
- Extraction: Apply weight to the sample to facilitate the dissolution of oils into the solvent.
- Evaporation: The solvent-oil mixture drips onto a heated plate where the solvent evaporates, leaving behind the oil.
- Measurement: Weigh the remaining oil and calculate its percentage relative to the initial sample mass.
- Accurate Oil Content Measurement- Precisely determines oil or finish content in fibers, crucial for quality control.
- Rapid Extraction Process - Delivers fast results, improving lab efficiency and productivity.
- Simultaneous Multi-Sample Testing - Multiple workstations (e.g., 4 at once) reduce testing time for bulk samples.
- Improved Product Quality - Helps maintain consistent oil levels, which affect dyeing, processing, and fabric performance.
- Automatic Operation - Automated pressing and heating reduce manual effort and operator error.
- Digital Monitoring - Built-in timer, temperature control, and oil calculator enhance accuracy and usability.
- Compliance with Standards - Supports industry methods like GB/T 6504-2017, ensuring reliable and standard-compliant results.
- Safe Solvent Handling - Enclosed design minimizes solvent exposure and evaporation loss.
- Multiple Test Stations - Usually equipped with 2 to 4 independent work units for parallel testing.
- Automatic Weight Pressing System - Applies consistent pressure on samples for uniform solvent extraction.
- Microcomputer Temperature Control - Maintains precise heating (typically 90–120°C) with ±1°C accuracy.
- Built-in Timer and Calculator - Allows setting extraction time and calculates oil content directly.

- Add Solvent - Pour a suitable solvent (e.g., petroleum ether) into the tube to cover the sample.
- Apply Weight - Place the extractor's weight or press system onto the sample to aid extraction.
- Start Extraction - Activate the machine. The solvent dissolves the oils and flows to the heating plate.
- Heat for Evaporation - Set the temperature (typically 90–120°C). The solvent evaporates, leaving oil on the plate.
- Measure Oil Content- After drying, weigh the remaining oil. Use the built-in calculator or formula:
