Overview
The STIFFNESS-9500 measures fabric stiffness and bending resistance using controlled pneumatic pressure per ASTM D1388, ISO 3801, and EN 13668. Ideal for evaluating rigid textiles like upholstery, bags, and industrial membranes.
Core Features
- Pneumatic System: Adjustable air pressure (1–50 kPa) with ±1% accuracy for consistent sample loading.
- Angle Measurement: Laser sensors track bending angle (±0.1°) to calculate stiffness modulus.
- Sample Compatibility: Supports fabrics up to 30 cm width and 5 mm thickness.
- Environmental Control: Humidity chambers (10–95% RH) simulate real-world conditions.
Applications - Upholstery: Certify furniture fabrics for durability and shape retention.
- Automotive: Test dashboards and door panels for rigidity under thermal stress.
- Industrial: Validate waterproof membranes for construction applications.
Compliance: ASTM D1388, ISO 3801, EN 13668.
Conclusion
The STIFFNESS-9500 ensures precise evaluation of fabric rigidity, critical for materials requiring structural integrity in demanding environments.
