The Hot Plate Method Fabric Drying Rate Tester is an advanced, automated instrument specifically engineered to determine the drying kinetics of textiles. Designed in strict accordance with the AATCC 201 standard, this device simulates the evaporation of moisture from a fabric surface as it contact-heats against a controlled thermal plate. By integrating high-precision infrared sensors and calibrated airflow systems, you can accurately quantify the drying time and drying rate of high-performance fabrics. This tester provides a critical benchmark for evaluating "moisture-wicking" and "quick-dry" claims, ensuring that functional garments meet the physiological comfort requirements of the end-user.
Applications
The Hot Plate Method Fabric Drying Rate Tester is an automated testing instrument designed to measure the drying rate of textiles in accordance with the requirements of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) Test Method 201.
Standards
AATCC 201-2013 Fabric Drying Rate: Hot Plate Method
FZ/T 01176-2024 Textiles - Determination of Fabric Drying Rate - Hot Plate Method
Features
1. Incorporates high-precision wind speed sensors, infrared temperature sensors, temperature sensors, precision dripping devices, high-accuracy wind speed control units, and fluid dynamics-optimized air ducts.
2. Integrates with computer software to automatically perform fabric drying time and drying rate tests along with comprehensive data analysis, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and measurement accuracy while minimizing human-induced errors.
3. Test software communicates with the main unit via USB port, displaying and saving data as curves and charts for easy analysis and printing. Wide adjustable ranges for wind speed (0.2–4.5 m/sec) and drip volume (0.05–4.5 ml).
4. The hot plate method not only complies with the AATCC 201 testing standard but is also suitable for knitted fabrics or any quick-drying fabrics (excluding fabrics used in socks).
