Are there any other types of crockmeter besides the Electronic Crockmeter?

 

1. Manual Crockmeter:

A manual Crockmeter is a simple instrument consisting of a handle and a rotating fluffing head. The operator places the raising head on the surface of the fabric, and simulates the friction and wear of the fabric through the rotation of the handle. This type of Crockmeter is suitable for small samples or where manual control is required.

2. Rotate the Crockmeter:

A rotating Crockmeter is a common type of Crockmeter. It consists of a rotating disc and a fixed raising head. The fabric sample is fixed on the disc, and when the disc rotates, the napping head contacts the surface of the fabric, simulating the process of friction and wear of the fabric. This type of Crockmeter is suitable for large samples or where continuous operation is required.

 

3. Air jet Crockmeter:

The Air Jet Crockmeter utilizes high velocity jets of air to simulate friction and wear on fabrics. The fabric sample passes through the jetting area of the airflow, and the tiny particles in the airflow rub against the surface of the fabric, resulting in fluff and pilling. This type of Crockmeter is suitable for non-contact testing of fabrics or where specific environmental conditions need to be simulated.

 

4. Mechanical Crockmeter:

A mechanical Crockmeter is a more complex instrument typically used for large-scale fabric testing. It consists of a rotating cylinder and multiple napping heads. The fabric sample is in contact with the napping heads through the rotation of the cylinder to simulate the friction and wear of the fabric. Mechanical Crockmeters generally have a higher degree of automation and testing efficiency.

 

5. Liquid Crockmeter:

A Liquid Crockmeter is a special type of Crockmeter that uses flow and impact in a liquid medium to simulate friction and wear on fabrics. The fabric sample is soaked in a liquid, and tiny particles or impacts in the liquid will cause the surface of the fabric to fluff and pill. This type of Crockmeter is suitable for special materials or when it is necessary to simulate wet environmental conditions.

 

These Crockmeter types have their own characteristics, and choosing the right Crockmeter depends on the test requirements, sample size and expected test results. In practical application, according to fabric type, product requirements and budget considerations, a suitable Crockmeter can be selected for testing and evaluation.
