The drying rate of fabrics is an important measurement for many
garment applications, especially for performance fabrics. The SDL
Atlas drying rate tester now gives retailers, fabric manufacturers and
textile additive producers a consistent method of measuring the drying
rate of a fabric. This device can be used independently to find a
drying rate or in conjunction with the SDL Atlas Moisture Management
Tester (MMT) in order to obtain a more complete understanding of the
moisture management properties of a performance fabric.
The device has the following salient features:
* Digital balance: Mettler Toledo, model AL204, max capacity: 210g,
resolution: 0.0001g
* Real time plot of “dry percentage vs. time” and “sample weight vs. time”
* Result calculation of “dry percentage” and “dry rate”
* Communication protocol: TCP/IP, able to connect through the local area network
* Provision of 150 x 150 mm sample rack, able to position upward or horizontally
