Textile's resistance to surface wetting with spray test by EN ISO 4920

With the DIN 53830-3 standard, the linear density of single and plied yarns can be determined using the short-length method. The method applies to simple, plied, and textured yarns.

This test is used to determine the folding endurance of paper or board using the Köhler-Molin, Lhomargy, MIT, and Schopper testers. During the test, a narrow strip of paper is folded forwards and backward in a standardized manner, so that it is subjected to longitudinal stress until it breaks.

A dilatometer is used to determine the linear thermal expansion of a material as a function of temperature. The temperature range of the measurement is generally between 25 °C and 1,600 °C. There is also an option to perform the test in a cryogenic atmosphere, which ranges from -175 °C to 300 °C. The typical heating rate is 3 °C/min. As a result of the measurement, you will get the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and the absolute change in sample length, both as a function of temperature. The testing can be performed in various atmospheres, including air, argon, CO₂, N₂, and O₂. Please contact us to get a quote. The price will depend on the testing conditions, so please specify them as precisely as possible.

Bending stiffness testing is performed to evaluate cardboard's stiffness by measuring the resistance to bending with 4-point loading. The results express the bending stiffness of the material in the machine direction and the cross direction.

Determination of certain aromatic amines derived from azo dyes in accordance with the standard EN 14362-1.

This test measures the air permeability of fabrics according to standard EN ISO 9237. Most types of fabrics, including industrial fabrics for technical purposes, nonwovens, and made-up textile articles, are suited for the test. The result will be given in l/m²/s, expressing the amount of air that passes through a square meter of fabric in one second.

This test determines the distortion of a woven fabric in which the weft yarns are perpendicular to the warp yarns.

This test is used to detect optical brighteners with UV light according to an in-house method. Optical brightening agents (OBAs) are often added to fabrics by manufacturers to increase their perceived whiteness or brightness.

Tensile tests according to ASTM E21 and ISO 6892-2 are used to determine the mechanical properties of metals and alloys at elevated temperatures. The tests are performed at temperatures up to 1,000 °C. The results include data on multiple properties, including tensile strength, yield strength, and elastic modulus. Please specify the desired testing temperature, strain rates, and the standard you wish the tests to be performed by when requesting a quote. Standard samples should be a minimum of 75 mm in length and 5 mm in diameter, although smaller samples can be tested upon request. The machining of samples can be included in the analysis project. We also offer tensile tests at room temperature.

IMO 2010 FTP Code Part 8 testing for upholstered furniture is used to assess the suitability of materials for maritime use. The results can be used for type approval (wheel mark). The testing is performed on the actual product or a small-scale test chair consisting of the cover and filling components of the product. Materials needed for the test are as follows x 3: Cover: 800 mm x 650 mm, Back-filling: 450 mm x 300 mm x 75 mm , Seat-filling: 450 mm x 150 mm x 75 mm. During the cigarette test, a cigarette is lighted and positioned axially along the junction between the seat and the back. The test assembly is not allowed to smolder after one hour from the beginning of the test. In the burner tube test, a burner tube with a propane flame is allowed to burn for 20 seconds, positioned axially along the junction between the seat and the back. No flaming or progressive smoldering is allowed to continue for more than 120 seconds after the removal of the burner tube.
