Common problems, possible causes and solutions. The machine shakes too much during washing. The machine is not stable. Check the ground and feet to ensure that the machine is properly placed. The washing machine is not level. Adjust the level of the machine according to the installation guide. The sample is too tight. Noise The dehydration process will have a lot of noise, but it is a normal phenomenon. The load sensing system will work for a few minutes before the washing starts. Water leakage. Connection problem. Is the connection of the water inlet and the water outlet normal? Is it normal that the washing machine can’t work or can’t inject water to supply water? Check whether the water valve connection is normal, cold, and hot water connections should be turned on. Power supply connection, ground wire connection, do not use the extension cord. Please do not add other samples after the start of the washing procedure to avoid unbalanced operation of the inner tank. Dehydration failure. Increase the dehydration rate appropriately. The sample is too tight or unbalanced. Adjust the sample to avoid too much sample, too tightly wrapped detergent Reduce the amount of detergent more appropriately to remove excess foam.

The air permeability tester is a high-precision testing instrument designed to evaluate the breathability of PPE materials, textile fabrics, non-woven fabrics, woven fabrics, and industrial filter media. It plays a critical role in quality control, product development, and laboratory research across multiple industries including PPE, textiles, automotive interiors, and filtration systems.
Modern instruments such as the GT-C27 Air Permeability Tester are developed with advanced sensor systems, automated control logic, and multi-standard compatibility to ensure reliable and repeatable results. Complying with global standards such as ISO 9237, ASTM D737, DIN 53887, and GB/T 5453, it guarantees internationally recognized testing performance.
With high automation, accurate pressure sensing, and flexible unit conversion systems, air permeability testing equipment significantly improves testing efficiency while reducing human error. It is widely used in PPE manufacturing, textile engineering, non-woven product development, and industrial filtration quality inspection.
This article provides a comprehensive guide to selecting the right DIN Abrasion Tester for material wear performance evaluation. It covers the instrument's function, applicable standards (including ISO 20344, DIN-53516, ISO 4649, ASTM D5963), key features like digital counter and auto-stop, application scope for rubber, tires, shoe soles, and conveyor belts, as well as quality, construction, brand considerations, and FAQs on troubleshooting. Ideal for laboratories, quality inspection departments, and material research institutions.
EN 149 is the core European standard for particle-filtering half masks and FFP respirators. This article elaborates on the definition, structure, performance classification, marking rules and core advantages of EN 149, compares it with NIOSH N95, KN95, EN 143 and medical mask standards, and lists industry application scenarios, as well as professional mask and filter testing instruments compliant with EN 149 testing requirements.
ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) standard tests are globally recognized transportation packaging test procedures designed to evaluate the safety and reliability of products and their packaging throughout the logistics chain. By simulating real-world transportation conditions such as drops, vibration, impact, stacking, and compression, ISTA testing helps identify potential packaging weaknesses before products enter large-scale distribution. ISTA testing equipment—including drop testers, vibration testers, incline impact machines, and compression testers—plays a critical role in accurately reproducing these conditions under laboratory settings. Proper selection and use of ISTA-compliant equipment enable manufacturers to reduce transportation damage, lower return costs, enhance packaging design, and improve customer confidence in product quality and logistics safety.
