CROCKMETER – Manual

The Crock Meter is used to determine the discolored extent for the dyed textile or dyed leather by abrasion method. At first, coat abrasive hammer with dry or wet white cotton cloth then drive it to repeatedly abrade the specimen clamped on testing table for ten times within 10 seconds to examine grade of color-dyeing firmness. This count is controlled with the help of a preset counter that enables the user to set a predefined value

Description

CROCKMETER Manual for Leather Color Fastness Testing

CROCKMETER Manual is a precision testing instrument designed to determine the color fastness and discolored extract of dry and dyed leather surfaces through controlled abrasion. It is widely used in leather manufacturing industries, quality control laboratories, footwear production units, textile testing centers, and research facilities to ensure product quality and compliance with international standards.

The instrument works by rubbing a standard test cloth against the leather sample under controlled pressure and movement. This process helps evaluate the amount of color transfer and surface durability of the tested material. The manual operation ensures simplicity, reliability, and cost-effective testing for routine quality inspections.

Key Features of CROCKMETER Manual

  • Research and development centers
  • Educational institutions and testing laboratories

It is particularly useful for assessing color fastness properties of leather products, ensuring that the material does not transfer excessive color during normal use.

Working Principle

The CROCKMETER Manual operates on the abrasion testing principle. A standard rubbing finger fitted with a test cloth moves across the surface of the leather specimen for a specified number of cycles. The amount of color transferred to the cloth is then evaluated visually or through standardized assessment methods.

This testing process helps manufacturers determine the resistance of leather materials to rubbing and wear, ensuring better product performance and customer satisfaction.
