Gelbo Flex Tester System (with Particle Counter)

Gelbo Flex Tester System (with Particle Counter) for measuring the linting of non-wovens in the dry state.

Honri Airclean Technology Co., Ltd has researched and developped the set of GLF-1 Gelbo Flex Tester System with the instruction of Jinan Quality Supervision and Inspection Center for Medical Devices.

The particle counter for use with this GLF-1 Gelbo Flex Tester System is to ascertain the amount of loose fibres (lint) to shed from non-woven materials in a 30 seconds time period of flexing.

With non-woven textile joining the traditional lines of products such as plastics, paper, textiles etc. for uses in healthcare and hygiene, cleaning, filtration, food packaging and more, cleanliness is an important consideration; therefore, such materials must have a low propensity to lint.

Using IST160.1 and ISO9073-10:2003, Honri has designed the Gelbo Flex Tester System (with Particle Counter) (Honri brand) for measuring the linting of non-wovens in the dry state. This test can also be applied to other textile materials.

Application

Experiments of disposable or reuseable surgical bedsheet, surgical clothes and clean clothes for petients clinical staff and equipments.

Principal

While the sample is being subjected to repetitive twisting and compression cycles on the Gelbo Flex Tester, air is withdrawn from the testing chamber and the particles in the air stream are counted and classified on the particle counter.

Environment of testing

ISO 5 (class 100).
