The development history of textile testing instruments
Textile testing instruments refer to instruments that test the physical, mechanical and technological properties of textile fibers, yarns and textiles. Textile testing instruments are the means of development of textile production. They have gradually developed from simple testing tools to manual mechanical testing instruments, and then developed into modern mechanical and electrical testing instruments. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in addition to evaluating the quality of silk fabrics with human senses, China also used the feathers of the five-colored pheasants as the color standard for evaluating the dyeing of fabrics. Since the Zhou Dynasty, rulers have been used to measure the length and width of fabrics, and to formulate public standards. With the development of textile technology, special instruments are required to inspect products to ensure stable product quality. Since the 20th century, textile enterprises have used manual and mechanical instruments to test semi-finished products and finished products. After the appearance of chemical fibers, more test items and instruments are required to reflect the quality and characteristics of products. With the rapid development of modern electronic technology and computer technology, some modern textile instruments use direct digital display, and some are attached with a micro-processing computing system, which directly prints out the average and discrete indicators of the test results, which improves the test efficiency and reduces the human error.

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.
