Fabric Drape Tester

Kumaş Dökümlülük (Drape) Test Cihazı

Drape coefficient measurement of fabrics.

Model technical data

  • The drape coefficient is calculated by digitally scanning the shadow of the fabric.
  • Computer controlled; the software is supplied with the instrument.
  • Approximate overall dimensions: 500 × 500 × 500 mm.
  • Approximate instrument weight: 19 kg.

Physical specifications and utilities

Electrical supplyApprox. 220–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, single phase; build-dependent.
Power / connected loadApprox. 20–80 W connected load for preliminary planning.
Overall instrument dimensionsApproximate overall dimensions: 500 × 500 × 500 mm.
Instrument weightApproximate instrument weight: 19 kg.
Gross / shipping weightApprox. 30.9–33.8 kg gross; estimated packing allowance.
Lab requirementsLevel, stable working surface; specimen conditioning follows the selected method.

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
Drape coefficient derived from shadow projection (%)
Parameters selected for the method
Specimen diameter, support disc and shadow assessment
Verification points
Support/specimen areas and optical geometry

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 9073-9:1995 · 5.1.1 / 5.2 / 5.4

  • Support disc: 18 cm diameter; circular specimen templates: 24, 30 and 36 cm.
  • Auxiliary balance for the paper-mass method: weighing to 0.01 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.
  • Drape (%) = 100 × (shadow area - support area) / (specimen area - support area).
  • 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.
