XHF-821 Fabric Touch Tester

 The innovative fabric touch tester measures skin touch properties of textiles objectively and quantitatively. The comprehensive, sophisticated design of the fabric touch tester enables it to measure all the mechanical and surface properties of fabric in one simple test. Previously only possible on the very expensive and technically complicated Kawabata instruments, the FTT now makes hand measurement possible for everyone.In just a five minute test the fabric touch tester measures:

Although confor is highly subjective perception, many researchers have developed various 
Objective measurement methods to quantify the sensations when touching a fabric. The way that 
The fabric feels has been descriped as “fabric hand”, which has been traditionally used in the textile
And clothing industries as a description of fabric quality and prospective performance.

Clothing is one of the most intimate objects associated with our daily life. It covers and interacts with most parts of our body throughout the day and night. Since the skin is extramely sensitive to pressure, friction due to millions of receptors all over the body, there is a need to characterize the tratile sensory 
Properties of textile materials with simulation of the fabric-skin contact process during wear.

Now, the innovative fabric touch tester is availabe to measure skin touch comfort objectively and quantitatively. The comprehensive, sophisticated design of the FTT enables it to measure all the mechanical and surface properties of a fabric in one simple test.

Measurement of following properties:

Bending: active ratio, bending rigidity, bending regidity index, max bending force
Friction: static friction coefficient, kinetic friction coefficient, CV%
Compression: apparent thickness, stable thickness, compression ratio, compression modulus, bulkiness, apparent density. CV%
Smoothness: smoothness, CV%
Bulge: Bulge rato, CV%
Interlacing resistance: interlacing resistance and CV%
