AirBurst Bursting Strength Tester
Bursting strength testers are usually categorized as hydraulic or pneumatic. This AirBurst pneumatictester tests the strength of textiles, films, paper, and foam. It has a simple structure, so it is easier to operate and maintain. HydroBurst hydraulic tester is for tests that need higher and more stable pressure.This includes tests on high-strength textiles and leather.
Principle of the AirBurst Bursting Strength Tester: clamps the sample on the diaphragm. It applies air pressure beneath the diaphragm. A high-precision sensor monitors the pressure in real-time. The control panel displays the pressure data. The air pressure will increase. The sample will eventually rupture. It will happen under a certain pressure. This pressure is the maximum atmospheric pressure at the moment of rupture. This pressure is the bursting strength of the sample. The instrument records and shows the value.
Four test modes are available: constant speed, constant pressure, constant dilatancy, and timed expansion. They can better show how much the sample resists expansion.
Precise and reliable testing.
The pressure measurement section uses a high-precision laser sensor. It has an accuracy of up to 0.2 degrees. This means the error is 0.2% of the maximum range.
Longer sensor life.
The Panasonic laser displacement sensor is also used. It has no rod, so it is easier to change the test cup and is hard to damage.
Connected to SmarTexLab, test results can be uploaded to ERP or LIMS.
The AirBurst can connect to the SmarTexLab App made by ChiuVention via Wi-Fi. This connection allows you to set parameters or watch the test from your phone. And the test results will also be sent to SmarTexLab and you can export
them to a computer or print them. Also, it can link to an organization’s ERP or LIMS to enable paperless and smart testing. All these things improve the textile laboratory’s quality management.

QuicExtra Fiber Oil Extractor
The QuicExtra Fiber Oil Extractor uses the principles of penetration and evaporation of solvents (e.g., petroleum ether, ethyl ether, or other organic solvents) to dissolve oils in fabric fibers. This method detects oil in wool and synthetic fibers.
The process is: cut the fabric into small pieces. Put the sample into the metal tube. Add the right amount of solvent. Ensure that the solvent and the sample are in full contact, which in turn dissolves the oils and fats. Put weights on the metal tube. This will speed up the dissolution and filtration of the oils and fats. It will let them separate from the sample. The solvent and oil will drip from the bottom of the tube onto the heating plate. The solvent will slowly evaporate, leaving only the oil. Finally, weigh the remaining oil. Then, divide it by the initial sample mass to find the oil amount.
Fast extraction, high efficiency and labor saving
QuicExtra is based on the principle of automatic weight pressurization. It uses weights, so manual pressure is not needed. Each of the 4 stations has its own operation buttons. They complete the extraction of fiber oils and fats in less than 10 minutes.

SmartSnag ICI Mace Snag Tester
SmartSnag is used to test the degree of hooking (yarn pulls out of the fabric) under normal wear. It can test the hooking of outerwear knitted fabrics and other fabrics that are prone to hooking. This includes chemical fibers, filaments,
and their deformed yarn.
The test’s principle is this: set the cylinder-shape sample on the cylinder. Then, place a chain-hanging nail hammer on the sample. The cylinder rotates at a constant speed. The hammer is randomly flipped and jumped on thespecimen’s surface. This process causes the fabric to gradually produce hooks.
After a set number of rotations, the sample is taken down.We use a rating light box. Under the light, we compare the sample’s hooking degree with the standard hooking level photo. The anti-hooking level categorizes into 5 (no hooking) to 1 (serious). The instrument has Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities. It can connect via WIFI to SmarTexLab, an APP, to do smart testing.
Smart and faster testing
The instrument is connected via IoT to the SmarTexLab APP in the phone/PC. And The app can connect to ERP/ LIMS via an API. Or, the instrument can connect directly to ERP/LIMS. There are test orders and sample information in the system, and the instrument can start the test and record the sample info, test process, and test or rating results.
The system will then summarize these into a test report.
The report can be sent to SmarTexLab or ERP/LIMS.
The relevant parties can view the report in real time.
Test men can monitor tests for many instruments at once.
They can also change test requirements, get alerts before tests end, and stop or repeat tests remotely.
In SmarTexLab, you can set up programs to start or stop the instruments. You can chat with ChiuVention service staff for quick support. You’ll get reminders that instruments need calibration, maintenance, and new consumables. Regular OTA remote upgrades are available.
