Fabric Down-Proof Impact Tester​

Durability Testing Protocol
The tester subjects fabrics to 50,000 cyclic impacts (5N force, 1 Hz) using a stainless-steel indenter with 1 mm² contact area. A high-speed camera (1,200 fps) captures feather penetration in real time, while piezoelectric sensors quantify fiber loss.

Performance Metrics

• Down Retention: Measures fiber loss after stress (e.g., 98% retention for premium down).
• Abrasion Resistance: ASTM D4966 grading (Class 1–5).

Applications

• Outdoor Gear: Tests parkas for -30°C durability.
• Automotive: Validates seat covers against wear over 100,000 km.
• Hospitality: Ensures luxury bedding meets 5-year warranty standards.

Sustainability Impact
Reduces product recalls by 20% and extends garment lifespans, supporting circular fashion initiatives.
