Description
Crease Recovery Tester
The Crease Recovery Tester is used to determine the recovery properties of fabrics after creasing. A fabric specimen is creased in a loading device for a predetermined period using the specified load. After the creasing process, the specimen is transferred to the clamp of the tester and allowed to recover.
The GTX-CR5 measures the angle of recovery using a circular scale graduated in 1 degree. The apparatus is suitable for testing specimens of the specified dimensions and includes creasing loads according to the stated test requirements.
Working Principle of Crease Recovery Tester
The test specimen is first subjected to a specified creasing load for a predetermined time. After loading, the specimen is transferred to the clamp of the tester and allowed to recover.
As the specimen recovers from the crease, the recovery angle is measured on the circular scale. The angle measurement helps determine the crease recovery properties of the fabric.
