Capillary Effect Tester
The Capillary Effect Tester is a precision laboratory instrument used to evaluate the water absorption (capillary rise) behavior of textile materials. It determines how quickly and how high liquid is transported through fabric structures via capillary action, providing critical data for textile performance evaluation in comfort, hygiene, and functional applications.
Application
This instrument is widely used in the textile and material testing industries to assess moisture management properties of fabrics.
Typical applications include:
(1) Evaluation of moisture absorption performance of cotton, polyester, wool, and blended fabrics
(2) Testing of functional textiles such as sportswear, medical textiles, and hygiene products
(3) Quality control in textile manufacturing processes
(4) Research and development of moisture-wicking and quick-dry fabrics
(5) Performance comparison of textile finishing treatments
Standards
Complies with:
FZ/T 01071 (Test method for capillary effect of textiles)

Working Principle
The lower end of a fabric strip is immersed in liquid, and capillary action causes the liquid to rise through the material. The tester records the height of liquid rise over time, reflecting the fabric’s ability to absorb and transport moisture.
Maintenance
(1) Keep measuring scale clean and free from residue
(2) Regularly check clamp weight accuracy
(3) Maintain stable temperature control system
(4) Clean water tank after each test to prevent contamination
(5) Store instrument in a dry and stable environment
