Advanced Textile Drying Rate Analysis
The DryRate 201, from SDL Atlas, is an innovative, fully automated instrument equipped with a heated metal plate designed to simulate human skin starting to perspire at 37°C. This high-tech device offers accurate drying rate determination based on the evaporation rate from the fabric, making it a vital tool for textile research and quality control.
Automated and Manual Testing Modes
With its automated testing mode, the DryRate 201 simplifies the testing process. By placing the sample in the test area, the instrument autonomously initiates the test and water dispensing, allowing for adjustments in water amount and air flow as needed. The manual test mode supports manual water dosing, aligning with the AATCC 201 Test Method for broader application.
Consistent, Reliable Testing Conditions
The DryRate 201 ensures consistency and accuracy through a closed-loop control system, comprising a heated metal plate and airflow mechanism. Integrated sensors, including an anemometer and an infrared thermocouple probe, continuously monitor testing conditions to deliver precise results.
User-Friendly Interface and Results Analysis
Featuring a 7-inch capacitive touch screen controller, the DryRate 201 offers an intuitive multi-lingual interface and instant parameter setting. Test results are easily accessible on the device or a connected computer for in-depth analysis and comparison to previous tests.
