Light Fastness Tester confirms with the following international standards:
BS 1006 UK-TN, IS 2454-1985

How Light Fastness Tester Works?
Stage: 1

A strip of test specimen (50 × 10 mm) and one strip each of 1 to 8 light fastness standard (LFS) is mounted on the specimen card and the same type is put in the type ?A' rectangular cell. Along with double slot mask (1/3 area cover) 2/3 of the specimen is exposed to light.
The effect of light is followed by inspecting the specimen frequently. When a change in color of the exposed portion of the specimen can just be perceived, equal to gray scale grade 4-5, the number of the light fastness standard showing a similar change is noted.
The exposure of the specimen and the LFS is continued until the contrast between the exposed and the unexposed portions of the specimen or the LFS no. 7 is equal to gray scale grade 4.
If the LFS no.7 fades to a contrast equal to gray scale grade 4 before the specimen does, the exposure is terminated at this stage.

Stage 2:

If the specimen fades to a contrast equal to gray scale grade 4 before the LFS no.7 does, the double slot mask is taken out and the single slot mask is inserted having 2/3 area cover.
The exposure is continued until the contrast between the fully exposed and the unexposed portions of the specimen is equal to gray scale grade 3. The exposure is terminated at this stage.
Assessment of light fastness is done.

How Perspirometer Works?

The test specimen is dipped in alkaline solution a liquor ratio of 50:1 and allowed to remain in the solution at room temperature for 40 minutes. The excess liquor is drained and the composite specimen is placed between the 2 acrylic separator plates.
Similarly the second composite specimen is made wet.
After loading the entire test specimen as above, acrylic separator plates are stacked one over the other and all these are placed in between the 2 loading stainless steel plates.
The loaded apparatus is placed inside a thermostatically controlled incubator maintained at 37°C for 4 hours.
Once the time is over, the apparatus is removed from there and the acrylic plates are removed with the composite specimens from the apparatus.
The test specimen is separated from the adjacent fabric and evaluated for:

The change in color of the test specimen.
The degree of staining of the white the 2 pieces of adjacent fabrics. They are evaluated using grey scales.

Crockmeter, Rubbing Fastness Tester confirms with the following international standards:
ISO 105, BS 1006, AATCC 8, BS EN 20105

How Crockmeter, Rubbing Fastness Tester Works?

Dry Rubbing:

• Properly mount your specimen and test cloths. The counter has to be reset by moving the knob on the left side of the counter. The finger is positioned on the specimen at the base’s front end and handle is rotated in the clockwise direction at the rate of approximately 1 revolution per second. The handle is then rotated equal to the number of strokes specified by the test method.
• When the desired number of strokes is reached, the crocking cloth is removed from the finger and its degree of staining has to be evaluated by SDC grey scale.

Wet Rubbing:

•   A fresh piece of crocking cloth is soaked in distilled water and the excess water is removed so that it contains its own mass of water.
•   The wet piece of the crocking cloth is fixed over the end of the finger of the Crockmeter and the test is undertaken.
•   The dyed or printed fabric has to be mounted on a lower platform.
•   Then 10 cycles are rubbed with a white fabric, which is mounted on a peg in the upper rubbing arm.
•   Then the extent of color that rubs away onto the white fabric against a color transference scale has to be determined.
•   The rubbing action of the peg+ enabled fibers from the upper colored flannel fabric surface to be transferred onto the white backing fabric mounted on the lower platform.
•   The cloth is then removed to evaluate the discolor level in comparison with a gray-scale
