The development history of textile testing instruments1

Textile instruments are instruments specially used to detect the properties of textiles. The development history of China's textile testing instruments is inseparable from several large domestic companies established in the early days: Wenzhou Darong, Ningbo Fangyi, and Shanghai Qianshi. In 1965, Ningbo Textile Instrument Factory was established in Ningbo. After 50 years of development history, Ningbo Textile Instrument Factory has become a manufacturer and seller of textile testing instruments, textile laboratories, constant temperature and humidity laboratories, high temperature aging rooms (rooms), clean rooms, sterile It is a comprehensive manufacturer of planning, design, construction and installation of special environmental projects such as rooms and computer communication rooms. In 1988, Wenzhou Darong was established. Darong Textile Instrument is a textile testing instrument manufacturer located in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China. It mainly manufactures textile testing instruments for physical properties. Wenzhou Darong is the drafting unit of GB standard, member unit of AATCC, ASTM, etc., China Textile Machinery Equipment Industry Association“Executive Director Unit”, Zhejiang Province“high-tech enterprises”, and awarded by the Wenzhou government“Science and Technology Innovation Demonstration Unit”,“key enterprises”,“advanced unit”Wait. Darong Instruments has acquired an important market share with reasonable prices. After more than 20 years of development history, the company has a strong comprehensive strength in the variety, production and after-sales of instruments. In 2009, Shanghai Qianshi Precision Electromechanical Technology Co., Ltd. was established in Shanghai and is a subsidiary of (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. Qianshi focuses on the R&D and production of textile testing instruments. At present, the general agent of Shanghai Qiansun in China is (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., which is fully responsible for the sales of Qinsun's instruments in China. In 2009, Shanghai Qianshi Precision Electromechanical Technology Co., Ltd. was established, and it was determined to enter the field of textile testing instruments and provide relevant solutions. With the support of the funds and resources of the rapid rise. Shanghai Qianshi can not only independently develop and produce color fastness, shrinkage rate, hydrostatic pressure resistance, button strength, zipper test, tear strength, air permeability, horizontal and vertical burning, pilling, color fastness to rubbing, wrinkle resistance, Anti-drill down, leather bending and other products, constantly apply and follow the latest standards, widely applicable to GB, ISO, ASTM, AATCC, BS, EN, DIN, JIS and other standards. 2010– In 2011, we recruited more than 10 technical R&D engineers with a master's degree or above, and more than 5 senior industry experts, and successfully developed the first complete product line of textile testing instruments. 2012 Launched thermal resistance moisture resistance tester and MMT liquid moisture management tester. In 2013, Shanghai Qianshi's products were distributed in domestic textile, quality inspection, fiber inspection, entry-exit inspection and quarantine, third-party inspection companies, colleges and universities and other enterprises and institutions, as well as large domestic and foreign listed companies. In 2014, the Qinsun brand was gradually introduced to the international market. The products of Shanghai Qianshi Textile Testing Technology Co., Ltd. are widely sold in more than 40 countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia, India, the United States, and the United Kingdom. In 2015, Shanghai Qianshi Textile Testing Technology Co., Ltd. reintegrated resources and was committed to providing overall laboratory solutions for material testing, including laboratory design, instrument configuration, standard training, laboratory certification and after-sales service. And provide first-class testing equipment for quality testing institutions, enterprises and scientific research units. To sum up: In the historical process of the development of China's textile testing instruments, my country's domestic instruments have grown from nothing, from existence to comprehensiveness, from product imitation to independent innovation, although there are many enterprises in China after 2000. However, significant progress has been made in the internationalization of the scientific and technological content of my country's textile testing equipment and testing standards. However, in the long history, Ningbo Fangyi, Wenzhou Darong and Shanghai Qianshi Qinsun have played an important role and value. Article source: (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd.

Collectively, the effect of textile testing equipment on industrial society has been to eliminate tensile tester manufacturers and drastically reduce the time long associated with tensile tester manufacturers.
