XHF-118 Gelbo Flex Tester With Particle Counter

The particle counter for use with this Gelbo Flex Tester System is to ascertain the amount of loose fibres (lint) to shed from non-woven materials in a 30 seconds time period of flexing.

With non-woven textile joining the traditional lines of products such as plastics, paper, textiles etc. for uses in healthcare and hygiene, cleaning, filtration, food packaging and more, cleanliness is an important consideration; therefore, such materials must have a low propensity to lint.

Using IST160.1 and ISO9073-10:2003, We has designed the Gelbo Flex Tester System with particle counter for measuring the linting of non-wovens in the dry state. This test can also be applied to other textile materials.

Application

Experiments of disposable or reuseable surgical bedsheet, surgical clothes and clean clothes for patients clinical staff and equipments.

Environment of testing

ISO 5 (class 100).

Principal

While the sample is being subjected to repetitive twisting and compression cycles on the Gelbo Flex Tester, air is withdrawn from the testing chamber and the particles in the air stream are counted and classified on the particle counter.
