Textile Drying Time Tester

The Textile Drying Time Tester is a precision instrument designed to measure evaporation rate and drying time of textiles under controlled environmental conditions. It evaluates moisture absorption, drying efficiency, and fabric resilience, essential for quality assurance, R&D, and product development in textile manufacturing.

Type: Environmental testing chamber with humidity and temperature control

Application

The tester is widely used for:

Quality control of sportswear and moisture-wicking fabrics.

Research and development of quick-dry textiles and performance garments.

Testing waterproof and water-repellent fabrics for drying efficiency.

Forensic textile analysis of fabric degradation due to moisture exposure.

Textile education and training on drying mechanism principles.

Standards

ISO 11092 – Textile evaporative resistance

ASTM D737 – Air permeability and drying correlation

AATCC 195 – Moisture management properties

GB/T 12704-2019 – Chinese textile drying standard

Features

(1) Multi-Test Modes: Static drying, dynamic drying simulating body movement, and rain simulation for waterproof fabrics.

(2) Advanced Monitoring: Real-time moisture mapping using thermal imaging; AI-based drying prediction model.

(3) Automation: Auto-reset system after each test; motorized humidity control; self-cleaning condensate drainage.

(4) Batch Analysis: Compare multiple samples, export data in Excel or PDF.

(5) User-Friendly Operation: Touchscreen interface, programmable test cycles, and automated reporting.

Technical Parameters

Accessories

Adjustable clamping frame for specimens

Thermal imaging camera (optional)

Test Procedures

Sample Preparation: Cut specimens to 100×100 mm.

Calibration: Validate system with reference samples.

Testing: Start the cycle with predefined temperature and humidity.

Analysis: Generate drying curve and moisture loss graph.

Cleaning: Auto-drain condensate reservoir after testing.

Maintenance Information

Avoid contact with heated surfaces during operation and maintenance.

Ensure power supply is properly grounded.

Keep at least 50 cm clearance from airflow vents.

Regularly check moisture sensor calibration and clean condensate drainage.

Inspect airflow fans and heating elements periodically to maintain uniform drying conditions.
