Leather Softness Tester China Manufacturer
Leather Softness Testing Equipment is a leather testing device intended for determining the softness of the leather with a non-destructive method. It is applicable to all kinds of leather or animal skins used on different finished products, such as upper leather, upholstery leather, apparel leather, etc.
The leather softness tester helps users in knowing whether or not the leather’s softness in the same batch is uniform or mastering the softness difference on different positions of the same piece of leather. It is one of the important leather testing machines in laboratories of the leather manufacturing field.
The leather softness tester features a cylindrical load pin of 4.9 mm in diameter and 11.5 mm in length. A cylindrical mass is vertically centered on the top of the pin. The two parts provide a total load of (530 ± 10) g onto the specimen throughout the test. Three different sizes of apertures are available to allow the testing of leather samples of different hardness.
The softness value is indicated by the distention and measured with a gauge under the specified pressure in a static position. AMADETECH provides two types of gauges: traditional analog (AT-L9006M, as shown in the video below) and digital gauges. From the perspective of convenient operation, we recommend the digital one.
