Mesdan Fabrics Testing Instruments

Pneumatic bursting strength tester to determine the bursting resistance and the dynamic fatigue of woven and knitted fabrics as well as technical textiles, non-wovens, leather (artificial and natural), and of other non-textile applications (like paper, plastic, packagings, medical, etc.). The instrument is characterised by its refined design and guarantees an absolute reliability from both functional and security point of view thanks to its special “Perspex” bell-shells.

SEMI-AUTOMATIC TENSILE STRENGTH TESTER

Tenso-Lab 4 is the latest generation of the well-known Tenso-Lab semi-automatic tensile tester. The new model is distinguished by:

 

New hardware: high sensibility and robustness (can be used to test both fibres and high tenacity fabrics), direct-drive ball bearing screw, low speed operation available, extended capacity to 5000 N.

 

New components: improved load cells performances (higher accuracy level and new capacity load cell added), quick load cell & clamps/jaws exchange.

 

New open software: more intuitive and easy to operate, SQL database and standard Ethernet machine connection to data export, no restriction on testing routines (can be created by the enduser, no special skills needed).

Air Tronic Plus is a fast and silent electronic instrument to determine the air permeability (meant as speed of the air flow verticallypassing through the sample under preset and known testing conditions) of woven, knitted and non-woven fabrics, industrial fabricsfor technical use, artificial leather, felt, velvet and paper. It can calculate also the average pore size of woven fabrics, a unique featureimportant for the filtration industry, their evaluation and classification.

Standardized Accurate Tumble Dryer. Recommended to dry samples just washed with Wascator performing home laundering test methods. 

Instrument suitable for checking the static electricity on garment fabrics, protective fabrics, fabrics for shoes and leather. 

The Water Proof is conceived to analyse the water permeability under static and dynamic testing conditions of a wide range of textile materials. It indicates and displays the water column pressure at the moment in which the first water drops appear on the fabric’s surface
