Textile Ultraviolet Protection Tester
The Textile Ultraviolet Protection Tester is a precision instrument designed to evaluate the ultraviolet (UV) protection performance of textile materials by measuring UV transmittance and calculating key parameters such as UVA, UVB, and UPF values. The G902C uses spectrophotometric measurement technology to provide accurate and repeatable results, helping manufacturers and laboratories assess the sun protection performance of textiles, clothing, and functional fabrics.
Application
Outdoor fabrics, sun-protective clothing, and sportswear
Hats, caps, and headwear materials
Curtains, blinds, and window textiles
Protective textile products for medical or industrial use
Upholstery fabrics and interior decorative textiles
Fabrics for baby products and children’s clothing
It can simulate UV exposure conditions to assess material durability and effectiveness in blocking UVA and UVB rays.
