Fabric Touch Tester(FTT) M293

The comfort of the texture can be measured objectively and quantitatively.

Comfort is the most fundamental prerequisite when consumers choose the clothing they purchase. While comfort is a highly subjective perception, researchers have developed various objective measurement methods to quantify the sensations experienced when touching fabrics. The feel of a fabric has been described as its "hand," which has traditionally been used in the textile and apparel industry to describe the quality and expected performance of fabrics. Clothing is one of the closest objects related to our daily lives. It covers and interacts with most of our bodies day and night. Since the skin is highly sensitive to pressure, friction, and heat transfer to millions of receptors throughout the body, it is essential to characterize the tactile properties of fabric contact during wear. Using SDLAtlas's innovative FTT, the comfort of touch can be measured objectively and quantitatively. The comprehensive and sophisticated design of the FTT allows for the measurement of all mechanical and surface properties of fabric hand in a single, simple test.
