Leather testing equipment-what equipment is used for leather testing?
What equipment is used for leather testing? Many customers want to test certain items of leather, but it is not clear which equipment should be used for testing. Not to mention that the supplier’s instruments are of good quality, and what are the differences between imported suppliers and domestic suppliers in various aspects. Below, the Technical Department of Standard Group (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. will introduce to you which instruments are commonly used in leather testing. First of all, we must understand which properties of the tested leather. Leather testing generally needs to test: 1. Leather thickness, leather tensile strength, leather elongation, leather tearing strength (inside strength and extension height), leather stretch setting, leather impact resistance, The fold fastness of leather, the color fastness of leather; the color also includes dry rubbing, wet rubbing, sweat resistance, heat resistance, water fastness, washing resistance, stain resistance, etc., 2, coating adhesion Fastness, shrinkage temperature, density, water absorption, air permeability, water vapor permeability, dynamic water resistance, softness, abrasion resistance, horizontal combustion, atomization, odor, aging resistance, yellowing resistance, etc. 3. Car interior leather, mainly car seat cushions, generally measures the abrasion strength of leather, the color fastness to rubbing of leather, the folding fastness of leather, the adhesion fastness of leather coating and other properties. 4. Leather testing of footwear products mainly includes: standard photos, maps and other appearance testing; also includes some non-mandatory tests: aging, color fastness, yellowing resistance test, tortuous resistance, non-slip, abrasion resistance. Secondly, it is necessary to understand the test standard for testing a certain performance. The color fastness test is mainly used. The color fastness test standards of leather mainly include: AATCC8/116, ASTMD1593, BS1006X12, BS1006UKLC, DIN53339, ISO105/11640QB/T1327/1873/2001/2307/2537, JIS0849, SATRATM8/TM167/ PM173 Again, confirm the name of the instrument to be tested. Commonly used leather testing instruments are: leather softness testing machine, leather tearing strength testing machine, leather resistance testing machine, leather dyeing and abrasion testing machine, leather bursting tester. Finally, according to the manufacturer and price, a variety of factors are combined. Make judgment comparisons. Article source: Standard Group (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd.

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.
The Heat Contact Machine GT-C101 is a specialized testing instrument designed for evaluating the heat resistance and thermal protective performance of gloves, protective clothing, and other heat-resistant materials used in high-temperature environments. In industries such as smelting, casting, welding, and glass manufacturing, workers are frequently exposed to intense heat, making accurate testing of contact heat resistance essential for ensuring safety and compliance.
GT-C101 simulates real working conditions by measuring heat transfer delay and thermal transmission under instant contact with high-temperature surfaces. Fully compliant with EN 407, EN 702, and ISO 12127-1 standards, this machine provides precise, repeatable data for manufacturers, laboratories, and research institutions. With high-temperature capability up to 500°C, advanced calorimetry, digital monitoring, and adjustable contact speed, the Heat Contact Machine GT-C101 is an indispensable tool for developing and certifying next-generation PPE and heat-insulation materials.
Cut resistance is one of the most critical performance indicators in personal protective equipment (PPE) testing, directly affecting worker safety in high-risk industries such as metal processing, machinery manufacturing, and emergency rescue. The TDM Cut Test Machine GT-KC28 plays a vital role in accurately evaluating the cut resistance of PPE products, including gloves, protective clothing, footwear materials, composite materials, rubber, and industrial textiles.
By adopting high-precision force control systems, intelligent data processing, and stable transmission technology, the GT-KC28 TDM Cut Tester can accurately measure the critical cutting force of materials and ensure excellent repeatability and comparability of test results. Its user-friendly touch-screen operation, comprehensive data storage, USB data export, and built-in thermal printer greatly improve laboratory efficiency and data traceability.
The TDM Cut Test Machine GT-KC28 fully complies with major international and national standards such as ISO 13997, EN 388, ASTM F2992/F2992M, ANSI/ISEA 105, and GB 24541-2022, making it a reliable solution for PPE manufacturers, third-party testing laboratories, and research institutions. Through precise and standardized cut resistance testing, the GT-KC28 helps reduce industrial cutting injuries, supports PPE certification across global markets, and ensures that protective equipment delivers reliable safety performance in real-world applications.
