Questions about physical testing
What is a GSM cutter used for?
A GSM cutter prepares a specimen of a defined area for mass-per-unit-area assessment. A suitable balance and the correct calculation workflow are also required. Confirm the cutting area and balance requirements in your quotation.
Are abrasion and pilling the same assessment?
They assess different aspects of a textile surface. Describe which assessment is needed and confirm the appropriate instrument configuration, accessories and evaluation process against the required method.
Let the test method guide your choice.
Tell us the material, specimen type, required method and expected throughput. Equipment appearance and test compatibility must be confirmed for the quoted configuration.
