Used to determine the effect of a small source of ignition on textile floor coverings, in accordance with ASTM, ISO, and other standards.  
 



 

This instrument is used for determining the thickness loss of textile floor coverings under dynamic load. The specimen is subjected to a cyclic-loading treatment in which an impact assembly, with two feet on its underside, repeatedly droops freely onto the specimen.  
 



 

This instrument provides a procedure for the determination of thickness loss of textile floor coverings after prolonged heavy static loading.  
 



 

The Thickness Gauge is used for measuring the thickness of underlays, using a standard mass applied to the Pressure Foot according to the table in the Standard AS 4288 to determine the Thickness.  
 



 

This thermostatically-controlled cabinet is for determining the heat resistance of adhesives. Up to ten joints can be tested simultaneously. The heated joints are subjected to various static loads for 10 minutes and the amount of peel separation produced is a measure of the heat resistance of adhesives.  
 



 

This instrument is used for determining the bending length of a cloth by means of a fixed angle flexometer and for calculating its flexural rigidity and bending modulus. These quantities are related to the stiffness of cloth.  
 



 

This Seam Fatigue Tester was designed to test the strength of a sewn seam in a fabric. It operates by lifting a 3kg weight using the sewn fabric as a ‘tow rope’. The 3kg mass is dropped onto a shelf at the end of each stroke and lifted again by the fabric. The shelf height is adjustable so that the mass can be set down gently without too much jerk.  
 



 

This instrument uses the principle of cantilever bending of fabric under its own weight. Bending length is measured and flexural rigidity calculated.
