Dimension order and approximate values are stated in each row. Packaging data are separate from instrument dimensions and net mass. Approx. rows are preliminary engineering estimates based on comparable equipment and function/capacity; they are not verified manufacturing measurements or standard requirements. Installation and shipment are finalised against the approved drawing and nameplate. Estimate scope: base product / one unit; external computer, bench and auxiliary plant excluded.

Specifications, dimensions, and power requirements are approximate and subject to change without prior notice for continuous design improvements.

Product technical specifications and images may vary according to manufacturing conditions and applicable standards.

Test and configuration

Measured output / function: Grade of pilling, fuzzing and surface change
Parameters selected for the method: Box lining, tubes, turns and assessment
Verification points: Box speed, counter and reference photographs

Listed methods are application references. Suitability is established by assessing the selected hardware, current method and calibration together.

Test parameters for the reviewed method

Values belong to the stated source edition. Test recipe, fixture and delivered instrument configuration are selected together.

ISO 12945-1 (earlier edition) · 5.1-5.2

Internal box edge before lining 235 mm; cork lining 3.2 mm; speed 60 ± 2 r/min.
Four polyurethane tubes: length 140 ± 1 mm, outside diameter 31.5 ± 1 mm and mass 52.25 ± 1 g.

Control and recording specification

The following are method-specific software/recording requirements; delivered software modules are defined by the order scope.

Method code and edition, specimen ID, operator and selected test parameters are linked to the record.
The calculation and endpoint are defined by the selected method edition; instrument signals and operator assessments are kept distinct.
Raw measurements, units, valid/invalid test flags and the reported result remain traceable.
Calculations are checked against known inputs and an independent calculation; sensor channels are checked against calibration values.

Historical method references (current method and fixture require separate review): BS 5811
