    Gray Scale

     

    The Gray Scale is a visual tool used in the textile and dyeing industry to evaluate and grade the color change or staining of a fabric after testing (e.g., washing, rubbing, and light exposure). It helps assess how much a fabric’s color has altered or transferred during durability or fastness tests.

    Types of Gray Scale:

    1. Gray Scale for Color Change – Compares the original and tested sample to measure color fading or alteration.
    2. Gray Scale for Staining – Compares a white adjacent fabric (before and after testing) to assess color transfer or staining.

    Rating System :

    – Uses a 1 to 5 scale:

    – Grade 5: No change or staining (excellent)

    – Grade 1: Severe change or heavy staining (poor)

    Intermediate grades (like 4–5, 3–4, etc.) are also used for finer evaluation.

     

    Construction :- Each scale includes pairs of gray chips with varying contrast levels to visually match the test results.

    Usage Areas:- Textile testing labs- Dyeing and finishing quality control- Standards like ISO, AATCC, and BIS tests

    How to Use :

    Select the Right Gray Scale – Use Color Change scale to check fading, or staining scale to check color transfer.

    1. Place the Samples – Lay the untested (original) and tested fabric side by side (for color change)

    – Or place the adjacent white fabric next to the gray scale (for staining).

    1. Match Against Gray Scale Chips – Visually compare the difference between the samples and find the closest matching gray pair on the scale.

     

    1. Assign a Grade

    – Grade from 1 to 5, where:

    – Grade 5 = no change/staining

    – Grade 1 = severe change/staining

    – Use half-grades like 4–5 if needed.

    1. Record the Result – Note the grade in your test report as per the test method (e.g., ISO 105).
    2. Store Properly – Keep the gray scale away from light and moisture to avoid fading.
    3. Features :
      1. Dual Type Availability – Comes in two types: for Color Change and for Staining.
      2. 5-Point Grading System – Grades from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent), with half-step intervals like 4–5, 3–4.
      3. Standardized Grey Chips – Includes contrasting grey color pairs to match fabric changes accurately.
      4. Compact Design – Small, portable card or booklet format for easy lab and field use.

     

    Categories:

    1. Gray Scale for Color Change – Used to evaluate the degree of color fading or change in a fabric after testing (e.g., washing, light exposure). – Assesses how much the original color has altered.
    2. Gray Scale for Staining – Used to assess the degree of color transfer from a dyed fabric to an adjacent white fabric during testing (e.g., rubbing, washing).

    – Evaluates staining on undyed fabrics.

     

    These two types are essential tools in color fastness testing across textile labs. Want to know which standard tests use each type?

    Fabric Moisture Permeability Tester

      A Fabric Moisture Permeability Tester, also known as a Water Vapor Permeability Tester, is a laboratory instrument designed to measure the rate at which water vapor passes through textile materials. This measurement is crucial for assessing the breathability and comfort of fabrics, especially those used in active wear, outdoor gear, medical textiles, and protective clothing.   Purpose of Fabric Moisture Permeability Tester The primary function of this tester is to evaluate a fabric's ability to allow moisture vapor to pass through it, which directly impacts the wearer's comfort by facilitating sweat evaporation and thermal regulation. High moisture permeability indicates better breathability, making the fabric suitable for applications where moisture management is essential.   Working Principle of Fabric Moisture Permeability Tester The tester operates by placing a fabric specimen over a container filled with water. Under controlled temperature and humidity conditions, water vapor passes through the fabric over a specified period. The amount of water vapor transmitted is determined by measuring the weight loss of the container, allowing for the calculation of the Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR).   Common Testing Methods
    1. Upright Cup Method: The fabric covers a cup containing water, and the assembly is placed upright in a controlled environment. After a set duration, the weight loss is measured to determine the WVTR.
    2. Inverted Cup Method: The fabric is sealed over a cup, which is then inverted and exposed to a controlled environment. The amount of water vapor absorbed by the fabric is measured over time.
     
    1. Sweating Hot Plate Test: Simulates human perspiration by measuring the energy required to maintain a constant temperature on a heated plate covered with the fabric, providing insights into the fabric's breathability.
      Key Specifications of Fabric Moisture Permeability Tester - Test Cups: Typically 6 to 8 cups, each with a diameter of approximately 83 mm and a depth of 18.5 mm.- Turntable Speed: Approximately 2 revolutions per minute (RPM) to ensure uniform exposure. - Environmental Conditions: Tests are conducted under controlled temperature (e.g., 23 ± 2°C) and humidity (e.g., 50 ± 5% RH) settings. - Standards Compliance: Conforms to international standards such as ASTM E96, ISO 15496, BS 7209, and JIS L1099.     ✅ Benefits of Fabric Moisture Permeability Tester - Enhanced Product Development: Provides critical data for designing breathable and comfortable textiles- Quality Assurance: Ensures consistency in fabric performance across different production batches- Regulatory Compliance: Helps manufacturers meet industry standards and certifications.   - Consumer Satisfaction: Contributes to the development of garments that offer better moisture management, leading to increased wearer comfort.   Applications of Fabric Moisture Permeability Tester - Active wear and Sportswear: Assessing fabrics for athletic performance and comfort. - Outdoor and Protective Clothing: Ensuring materials provide adequate breathability while offering protection.

    2. Mount the Fabric - Cut the fabric into circular pieces matching the cup size.
    - Securely seal each fabric over the cup opening with a gasket and ring to prevent leakage.
    1. Weigh the Cups - Record the initial weight of each cup with the fabric mounted.
     
    1. Place on Turntable - Position all cups on the rotating tray inside the controlled chamber.
    2. Set Conditions - Close the chamber and maintain temperature (e.g., 23°C) and relative humidity (e.g., 50%) as per test standard.
    3. Start the Test - Begin rotation (usually ~2 RPM) and let it run for the specified time (often 24 hours).
    4. Weigh the Cups Again- After the test duration, reweigh the cups to determine weight loss due to moisture vapor passing through the fabric.
     
    1. Calculate WVTR - Use the formula: WVTR = (Weight Loss in grams × 24) / (Test Area in m² × Time in hours) Expressed in g/m²/24h.
    2. Clean and Store - Clean cups and components for future use.

    Pneumatic bursting tester China national patent：ZL201210486480.8 ZL201220628425.3 Pneumatic bursting strength tester China national patent：ZL201210486480.8 ZL201220628425.3 [Scope of application]: It is used to measure the burst strength and burst expansion degree of various fabrics, including knitted fabrics, woven fabrics, non-woven fabrics, laminated fabrics and other fabrics made by other processes, under standard conditions or wet conditions. This method is employed to assess the burst strength and degree of burst expansion of various types of fabrics, such as knitted, woven, non-woven, laminated, and others produced through different processes, under both standard and wet conditions. This technique is utilized to evaluate the burst strength and extent of burst expansion in various fabric types, including knitted, woven, non-woven, laminated, and others produced through diverse manufacturing processes, under both standard and wet conditions. Benefits of Bursting strength tester: Fast testing cycle for fast feedback to the production • Auto-start, a photocell detects the presence of a sample and automatically initiates a measurement sequence, thus allowing hands-free operation • Auto-cycling function permits the continuous cycling of the upper pressure foot to facilitate representative and continuous measurements
    • Available with automatic test strip feeder Measurements are simple to make with the Mullen type Bursting Strength Tester. Fast automatic measurements Measurement starts automatically once a test piece has been placed in the measuring gap. The clamping foot descends, and a bursting strength measurement is made.
    The sample is then quickly released and is ready for the next measurement at a new position. To maximize the sample measurement rate, the tester uses a minimum of time between the bursts, so that a series of 10 measurements can be done in less than 45 seconds. The actual measuring time depends of course on the type of paper or paper board being tested. Three Different test results can be reported after a single measurement; bursting strength standard, bursting strength compensated, and bursting energy absorption (BEA).Bursting strength tester can be compensated for the stiffness of the diaphragm For low bursting strength levels, the stiffness of the diaphragm can account for a large portion of the bursting strength value. If desired, the device can also measure, calculate, and report effective bursting strength compensated from the effects of the diaphragm. Measurement of Bursting Energy Absorption (BEA) is used to determine the energy absorption capability of a material.
