A test sample is placed on top of a heating plate at a constant temperature of 37° (99°F), and a certain amount of water rises from the bottom of the drying test instrument to the center of the plate and saturates the sample.
An anemometer inside the instrument dries the sample. An infrared temperature sensor measures the change in temperature of the sample to determine if the drying is finished, and then the drying speed is determined by the test drying time.

Frequently Asked Questions for SmartDry Textile Moisture Tester
The drying testing machine measures how fast materials dry. It measures fabric, clothes, and other materials too. It objectively tests the drying time under controlled conditions.
The Heated Plate method tests how fast fabric dries when it is exposed to water. It does this while the fabric is on a heated plate. This test uses a hot plate at 37 degrees Celsius or 99 degrees Fahrenheit. It is to replicate the temperature at which the human body starts to perspire. The temperature drops when the specimen is wet. As it dries, the temperature slowly rises. The start time, end time, and drying time. The goal is to calculate the drying rate.
Mainly for fabrics.
including airflow/circulation, material application thickness, and test interval times. More advanced models allow customizing multiple parameters to mimic real-world drying conditions.
Lab-grade testers can measure drying within just a few minutes. Accuracy depends on the model and sensors. Some claim accuracies of just 1-2 minutes. This depends on the test parameters and material.

Place test sample on a heating plate at a constant temperature of 37°C±1°C
(99°F±2°F). A specified volume of water rises from the tester bottom to the heating plate center, and the sample is saturated and dried with an airflow rate of 1.5 m/s ± 0.5 m/s.
Sense the change of fabric temperature using the infrared temperature sensor, to determine whether the fabric drying is over. The drying rate is obtained according to the test time.
1. Open the water tank cover, and make sure the water is enough.
2. Connect the power cord to turn on the power.
The preheating starts automatically when the instrument is switched on.
3. Open the operation cover.
Lay the sample flat in the test area. The area’s right side is pressed tightly by the magnet-absorbing adhesive strips. Then, gently close the cover. (Note: Different placements of the sample and pattern at the front and back cause the different test results.)
4. Click “Mode” in the main interface to enter Test Setting interface.
Modify the data according to the test requirements. This includes water dispensing mode, water volume, unit, equilibrium time, and hot plate temperature. It also includes wind speed, etc. In automatic mode, water is dispensed according to the set value. In manual mode, water is injected manually. The volume is controlled by the operator.
5. Select the number of samples to be tested in order to complete the whole set of tests.
6. Click “Run” to start the test.
It simulates human sweating to find how fast textiles dry. You can see live data, including wind speed and hot plate temperature. It records the hot plate temperature.
7. When all the samples of the same type are done, click “Finish”.
Note: Click Finish after the test ends. Otherwise, the next test cannot start. After you press “Finish,” the data in the current list box will go into the report list. The data in the history list box will be cleared. Check the detailed data records in the report list.
8. After the test is done, to enter the Report List.
It shows the stored records, sample info, and report data. Click on the report column to open the report. This will bring you to the Detailed Report interface. There, you can delete the test records.
1.When calibrating the temperature of the hot plate, it is necessary to connect the temperature calibrator externally to ensure that their temperature is consistent with each other. But if the temperature calibrator deviates from the temperature of the hot plate, enter the temperature offset value.
2. The IR temperature is judged against the calibrated hot plate temperature and the IR offset value is entered if there is an offset.
3. Wind speed calibration requires external wind speed calibrator. if there is any deviation, enter the offset coefficient.
4. The pump measurement value is to calibrate the pump discharge accuracy. the discharge test is carried out within the specified time, and the weighed data is the pump measurement value.
5.The SmartDry drying rate tester is strictly calibrated at the factory and should not be calibrated by non-professional engineers.
Care & Maintenance
Keep the instrument and control system clean and hygienic frequently.
Prevent high temperature, excessive humidity, dust, corrosive media, water, etc. from immersing inside the instrument or control system.
Regularly check and maintain the integrity of parts and components.
Regularly calibrate the instrument to ensure the accuracy of measurement value. Non-professional personnel shall not dismantle the instrument.
Each time after dismantling and repair, a metrological performance test must be performed for the instrument in case that the instrument is out of calibration.
Cautions
The instrument has been calibrated before leaving the factory, non-professional shall not arbitrarily calibrate it, otherwise the instrument fails to measure force accurately.
After the instrument is switched off, wait for 10 seconds before it is powered on again, otherwise it may cause damage to the instrument. During use, the instrument shall not be interfered by strong electromagnetic environment around. The instrument shall be maintained regularly.
