Accurate assessment of moisture regain and content in textile materials
Mesdan-Lab – division of MESDAN Spa, Italy – has recently introduced AQUALAB, an innovative instrument based on low frequency microwave technology designed for an instantaneous and accurate assessment of regain, moisture content and commercial weight in textiles. It allows high volume control of moisture throughout every stage of the textile chain. The main features of the AQUALAB are
• sample weighting not required
• extremely fast (just few seconds for each test)
• perfect correlation with traditional oven drying system (Delta 0,999)
• non- destructive method (no material waste)
• maintenance free, no parts wear
• no calibration needed
• low energy consumption (only 0,1Kwh versus 8Kwh of a traditional regain oven)
• very simple operation, no skill required to use Aqualab
• ITMF and ICCTM recognized. The ITMF International Committee on Cotton Testing Methods (ICCTM) gave full recognition to AQUALAB during the International Bremen Cotton Conference in 2014.
• IWTO accreditation under process.
MESDAN will be exhibiting the Aqualab equipment during ITMA ASIA + CITME 2018, in Hall 1, stand C24, together with other laboratory instruments, like Burstmatic (pneumatic fabric bursting tester), and Airtronic Plus (fabric air permeability tester), and the full line of yarn joining devices.
