Carpet Dimensional Stability Tester

Compliance Standards: ISO 2551. BS 4682

This instrument is used to measure the dimensional changes of carpets caused by changes in water and heat conditions.

Product Introduction:

The Carpet Dimensional Stability Tester is an instrument designed to evaluate the ability of carpets to maintain their original dimensions and shape under various environmental conditions, such as changes in humidity and temperature. Dimensional stability is crucial for the long-term appearance and performance of carpets; unstable carpets may experience shrinkage, expansion, wrinkling, or deformation.

This tester accurately measures the dimensional changes of carpet samples before and after exposure to simulated real-world environmental conditions. Testing typically involves subjecting carpet specimens to specific temperature and humidity levels and measuring the percentage change in their length and width. More complex tests may also assess the degree of carpet cupping or planar distortion.

Key Features (depending on the specific model):

Precise Dimension Measurement System: Equipped with high-accuracy measurement sensors or optical systems to ensure accurate test results.

Controllable Environmental Chamber: Provides precise temperature and humidity control to simulate various environmental conditions.

User-Friendly Operation Interface: Easy to set test parameters, monitor the testing process, and view test results.

Data Logging and Report Generation: Automatically records test data and can generate detailed test reports.

Compliance with Multiple Test Standards: Capable of conducting tests according to different industry and regional standards.

Customizable Test Programs: Allows users to set specific test conditions and durations based on their unique requirements.

Product Advantages:

Quantifies Dimensional Changes: Provides objective, numerical data on shrinkage, expansion, and potential distortion, which are critical indicators of carpet quality and performance.

Simulates Real-World Conditions: The controllable environmental chamber allows testing under specific temperature and humidity levels that mimic various climate conditions encountered during transport, storage, and use.

Ensures Long-Term Appearance: Helps predict how well a carpet will maintain its original dimensions and appearance over time, preventing unsightly issues like gaps, buckling, or ripples after installation.

Supports Standards Compliance: Enables testing according to ISO 2551. BS 4682. and potentially other relevant standards, essential for quality assurance and market acceptance.

Aids Product Development and Quality Control: Valuable tool for developing new carpet constructions or materials with improved stability and for maintaining consistent quality in manufacturing.

Automated/Precise Measurement: Features like a precise dimension measurement system and data logging enhance accuracy and efficiency.
