MST Clothing Pressure Tester

Applicable Standards

The tester complies with global benchmarks for fabric pressure assessment:

• ISO 811: Textile waterproofing performance testing
• ASTM D7511: Standard test method for textile water resistance
• GB/T Standards: Domestic Chinese regulations for garment quality control
  These standards validate the tester’s accuracy in assessing pressure across diverse clothing types.

Main Parameters

Working Principle

The device employs a matrix of piezoresistive sensors embedded in a flexible testing plate. When garments are placed under simulated body weight (via hydraulic actuators), sensors detect pressure variations across the fabric. Data is transmitted to software that generates visual heatmaps, highlighting high-pressure zones prone to discomfort.

Test Principle

1. Sample Setup: Garments are secured on the test bed, replicating real-world wear scenarios.
2. Pressure Simulation: Hydraulic cylinders apply adjustable forces (e.g., 50–200 kgf) to mimic sitting, bending, or movement.
3. Data Acquisition: Sensors scan at 100 Hz, capturing dynamic pressure changes.
4. Analysis: Software computes pressure gradients and identifies areas exceeding comfort thresholds (e.g., >1,500 Pa for sensitive skin).

Key Advantages

• Precision: Piezoresistive technology ensures ±0.5 Pa accuracy.
• Compliance: Aligns with ISO/ASTM protocols for global lab use.
• Efficiency: Reduces physical prototyping cycles by 40%.
• Versatility: Applicable to sportswear, medical compression garments, and protective suits.

This tester empowers apparel brands to innovate with data-driven insights, balancing aesthetics and wearer comfort. By identifying pressure hotspots early, it minimizes returns and accelerates time-to-market.
