Test Procedures：

Preparation: Ensure the testing instrument is in normal working condition and check that the temperature control system and hot air circulation are functioning properly. Prepare the samples to be tested, ensuring the sample surface is flat and free of impurities, and cut them to the appropriate size according to the test requirements.

Sample Placement: Place the sample on the test platform or support, ensuring that the sample is heated evenly during the test and that uneven thermal shrinkage does not occur due to improper placement.

Parameter Configuration: Set parameters such as operator, sample specifications, date, temperature, time, and number of cycles.

Sample Clamping: Clamp one end of the sample to the right clamp, and attach the corresponding weight (pre-tension) to the other end of the sample, allowing it to pass over the left pulley.

Start Measurement: Push the movable carriage all the way in and start the measurement. The display screen will show the instantaneous shrinkage rate.

Test Completion: After the set time, the display screen will show that the test is complete. Replace the sample and slowly pull out the carriage.

Data Recording: Click on "Report" to view each data point and the average value. Click "Print" to print the report.

FAQ

1. What is a Dry Heat Shrinkage Tester?

The Dry Heat Shrinkage Tester is a device designed to measure the dimensional stability and shrinkage behavior of fabrics, textiles, or other materials when exposed to controlled high-temperature dry heat conditions.

2. How does the machine perform shrinkage testing?

The tester exposes material samples to a specified dry heat temperature for a predetermined period. After heating, the change in dimensions (length, width, or area) is measured to determine the shrinkage percentage.

3. What types of materials can be tested?

It is suitable for natural fibers, synthetic fibers, blends, woven and knitted fabrics, nonwovens, and other heat-sensitive materials used in textiles, garments, and technical fabrics.
