Textile Ultraviolet Protection Tester
The G902C Textile Ultraviolet Protection Tester is designed for precise measurement of ultraviolet (UV) transmittance and the UV protection performance of textiles. It directly determines key textile UV parameters, including UVA, UVB, and UPF, providing reliable data for research, quality control, and certification purposes.
Application
The instrument is suitable for evaluating UV protection performance of various textile materials and finished products, including:
Outdoor fabrics, sun-protective clothing, and sportswear
Hats, caps, and headwear materials
Curtains, blinds, and window textiles
Protective textile products for medical or industrial use
Upholstery fabrics and interior decorative textiles
Fabrics for baby products and children’s clothing
It can simulate UV exposure conditions to assess material durability and effectiveness in blocking UVA and UVB rays.
Standards
The G902C complies with international and national standards, including:
(1) GB/T 18830-2009: Evaluation of the UV Protection Performance of Textiles (China)
(2) BS 7914-1998: British Standard for Textile UV Protection
(3) AS/NZS 4399-1996: Australian/New Zealand Standard for Sun Protective Clothing
(4) AATCC 183-1998: American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists UV Testing
(5) PREN 13758-2001: European Standard for UV Protective Textiles

Test Procedures
Prepare the textile sample (≥Φ45 mm) and place it in the sample holder.
Start the computer-controlled test system and select the standard or custom test program.
The device automatically scans the wavelength range (280–400 nm) and measures UVA, UVB, and UPF values.
Data is collected in real-time and stored in the computer software.
Review test results, generate reports, and save data for documentation.
For repeated tests, verify calibration of the light source and spectrophotometer according to the instruction manual.
Maintenance Information
Clean the instrument and sample holder regularly to prevent dust accumulation.
Inspect and replace the deuterium lamp according to manufacturer guidelines.
Ensure calibration is performed at least once per month or before critical testing.
Maintain the operating environment at 0–40°C and relative humidity below 85%.
Do not expose the instrument to strong sunlight or high humidity.
