SmartPull Fabric Textile Tensile Tester

A Small Pull Fabric Textile Tensile Tester is a machine that measures the strength and stretchiness of fabrics. It works by gripping a strip of cloth or other materials (leather, paper, yarn) on both ends and pulling it slowly until it breaks. Advanced sensors measure how much force is needed to remove the fabric and how far it stretches before breaking. This gives quantitative data on the fabric’s tensile properties.

The SmartPull Fabric Textile Tensile Tester software is designed for ease of use globally. It presents detailed tensile test results like elongation, time taken, maximum force applied, modulus, breaking force, etc. It allows comparing past results, exporting data to other tools, and creating custom test reports.

The SmartPull Fabric Textile Tensile Tester weighs 100kg less due to its optimized design, so it’s easier to move and use. It uses the latest technology, like AC servo motors and precision ball screws, to enhance force accuracy. Its improved hardware and software make the overall testing 20% more reliable.

It has an emergency stop button, an overload protection system, travel range limits, and warning alerts for abnormal torque or issues. Its ergonomic build reduces injury risks. Test parameters like speed and load can be configured to meet safety needs.

Before use, check the installation guide for environmental needs and machine securing. Connect electricals following source rating specifications. Initialize when empty and tare the tester. Next, calibrate in ascending and descending order using certified deadweights covering 20% to 100% of the capacity range. Save calibration results for further use.

Some commonly used standards are ISO 13934-1 for tensile properties, ISO 9073 series for fabrics, ISO 4674 for coated fabrics, ASTM D5034 for woven textiles, ASTM D5587 for narrow elastic fabrics, and ASTM D6797 for tearing resistance. The choice depends on the material type and test parameters needed. And SmartPull is applicable for more than 20 kinds of testing standards(including the ones above)

Select matching international test standards based on fabric type. Set suitable grips, jaws, or fixtures. Input recommended test speed, pre-tension rate, and gauge length as per standard. Specify the allowed elongation percentage without damage. Check if the data recording rate meets the standard. Zero balance force sensor. Verify alignment and centering of loaded fabric samples. Initiate auto-return on sample break.

Use pneumatic grips with rubber coating to hold dense, tightly woven fabrics firmly. Use smooth, lightweight mechanical clamps for light, sheer fabrics to avoid damage. Visually inspect across the width to check the center while loading. Observe the tensioning display to check for slackness or issues. Initiate a pre-tension cycle to correct minor orientation deviations automatically.

If variability in results is seen, recheck grip pressure settings and replace worn-out jaws. Recalibrate load cell if accuracy declines beyond the permissible limit. Confirm proper specimen pre-conditioning was done. Verify that mounted gauge length dimensions are accurate. Increase sample size/test repeats for more statistical confidence. Compare against certified reference equipment periodically. The room temperature/humidity was stable during the entire test duration.

A comprehensive Preventive Maintenance (PM) schedule should cover regular inspection checklists, cleaning frequent usage parts, and lubricating moving components like bearings as per cycles for maximum machine life. Standard tester, grips, and accessories cleaning should be done daily/weekly based on usage. Use appropriately calibrated torque instruments for couplings and drives. Test oil samples periodically to check contamination. Inspect belts, pulleys, and couplings for wear using alignment gauges per schedule.

Commonly replaced consumable parts are grips, jaws, load cell mounts, couplings, pulleys, and drive belts that wear out over time. Calibrated spare sensors/load cells minimize potential downtime. Other recommended spares are fuses, cords, pneumatic component kits, etc. Their typical replacement frequency varies widely depending on usage intensity.
